Earlier this year, as President Donald Trump was beginning to reshape the American government, Michael, an emergency room doctor who was born, raised, and trained in the United States, packed up his family and got out.
Michael now works in a small-town hospital in Canada. KFF Health News and NPR granted him anonymity because of fears he might face reprisal from the Trump administration if he returns to the U.S. He said he feels some guilt that he did not stay to resist the Trump agenda but is assured in his decision to leave. Too much of America has simply grown too comfortable with violence and cruelty, he said.
And about 35% of people will still blame it on the dems, 5% will just vote based on the economy (if good vote incumbent party, if bad vote opposing party), so maybe we can hope the remaining 10% can be swayed to reason. First past the post voting is so so bad
Whaddaya gonna do? The people pushing the alternatives can’t even unify on a front because one half wants it too simple like europe countries do it and the other side wants it so hard you need a doctoral degree to figure it out.
Ranked choice voting isn’t hard. There are 10 minute YouTube videos for children that explain the concept, just add it to civics class curriculum.
