There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

    Social Democracy is a pro-Capitalist position that continues Imperialism and does not approach Socialism. Fascism is not just genocide, but the US has never been truly democratic.

      The social democracy I am describing in my arguments would do away with capitalism but not market economies. The fact this doesn’t exist yet or isn’t in the theory you have read about social democracy isn’t relevant. The US has never had true majority rule. Our democracy overrepresents some people and thus underrepresents others. This must be fixed. The US is still fundamentally a democracy despite its flaws. That’s why the fascists want to do away with our democracy, so they can have total power, as just being overrepresented is insufficient for their aims.

        You’re describing Market Socialism, which is a thing, not Social Democracy, which is another thing.

        How do you want to “fix” US democracy? It’s working as it always has for hundreds of years.
