4/ G. Washington warned us against political parties. He said they’d form “factions of men” more concerned with their party then with their country. In any other area the utter failure of our 2 party duopoly to “secure the blessings of our liberty” would be seen for what it is.

Our choose-one voting method entrenches the duopoly. That's why we need approval voting to create a competitive democracy where diverse candidates and ideas thrive. bit.ly/approval101
