Revitalize Democracy Through Systemic Change

The current electoral system is outdated, inheriting rigidity that stifles voter engagement and representation. Other countries, like Australia and New Zealand, have successfully transitioned to more democratic and proportional systems, highlighting a need for reform in the U.S. where the winner-take-all approach has led to significant voter disconnection. Currently, only a handful of states and congressional districts hold substantial influence, which undermines democratic principles. Fortunately, systemic change is possible, as history shows that modifying outdated rules is within reach, offering hope for a more inclusive democratic process.
