Must We Accept Permanent Gridlock in our Congress?

Congress is not doing its job at all well, and a root cause is its division into two diametrically opposed and essentially equal-sized parties that fight each other on almost everything. Virtually all modern democracies have more than two parties, thereby creating a greater variety of viewpoints and necessity for civil negotiations. We have fallen behind.

Changing our electoral systems to Multi-Member Districts for the House and using Ranked Choice Voting for congress will quickly facilitate more parties, eliminate gerrymandering and safe seats, and give us a functional congress.

We deserve it, and we can make it happen!
