I really wish the US could import Australia's system... I can vote for any number of independents and minor parties before giving my last preference between the two major parties and my vote is always counted. In the US if you vote for someone like Stein you may's well just not vote.
Well in your analogy the car was at least presumed useful prior to its break down. I am not so sure that was ever the case with the Dems. But voting for. supposed lesser evil is nothing new under the sun. In fact, I would even go out in a limb and guess that most of the people voting for Harris, Biden and Hillary were not enamoured with them either but found them less unpalatable than trump.

Perhaps you really were implying that you loved and admired Harris as a candidate though. Maybe you think she purrs like a well tuned automobile?

Consistently is a wonderful thing.

I agree with you on the rest though. Any electoral systems are better than those of the US, Canada and the UK.
