If we had actual cryptographic voting systems, people would be able to make ACTUAL pacts there were un-gameable. Put your pacts and votes on smart contracts on a global blockchain.

Of course the duopoly doesn't want anything like that to be possible.

For more than two decades I’ve always said I wish the two major parties were progressives/greens versus libertarians. If they were able to meet in the middle on most policies, we’d be living in an incredibly reasonable state that most people would be alright with. Instead we have two corporate controlled monstrosities of the fake left and fake right.

This is the first election I start voting directionally towards such a goal 🤙
