Democrat or Republican, Communist or Fascist, and everything in between, I think we can all agree that a two-party system representing the will and needs of over 300 million people isn't exactly suitable, yes? I'd like to see our Senate filibuster eliminated as well as change Senator representation for states based on population changed (States like CA and NY get 2 people to represent 30 million people, which is just awful when states like N. Dakota get 2 for 700,000....not exactly fair or democratic in my opinion).
Yes this whole winner takes all thing is a bit strange. I mean the states have their own government already so no sense in making the federal elections have a 'state-segment' in it as well.
