And money. Otherwise our third parties are going to be vanity vehicles for the likes of Bloomberg, Musk, Perot, etc.

Cut out winner takes all.
All parties get a seat at the table and can caucus across lines.
Your party wins 7% of the vote… they get 7% of the seats in Congress.
And they can coalesce together to cause gridlock when necessary or caucus with the party that wants to ensure democracy and oust the oligarchs. There are ways around it… plenty of examples in other socially democratic and representative style governments.

You’d have to do away with how federal House seats are apportioned and abolish the Senate.

Compared to the way Trump and Musk want to abolish the Constitution and do away with the non-partisan civil servants and established institutions which have proven themselves to be invaluable…. I’d say my idea is much better.
Keep the Constitution and honor all of the Amendments… keep the Civil Servants non-partisan… keep the government institutions that work….
And let’s reconfigure the house and Senate to allow Independents and unaffiliated voters a voice.
How about that?

This is what the Pubs are now. They have no shame. They don't even try to hide their real intentions anymore.
But there is no link between your name and who you voted for, right?
So even if a voter was disqualified after the fact, there would be no way to know who that person voted for? Or is that incorrect?

NC Elections Board Rejects GOP Protests To 60,000 Votes
Law360 (December 11, 2024, 6:30 PM EST) -- A divided North Carolina State Board of Elections on Wednesday voted to deny a consortium of election protests filed by Republican candidates seeking to discount more than 60,000 ballots from the Nov. 5 election, further cementing incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs' victory in her contested race with Judge Jefferson Griffin.
The five-person board split largely on party lines in rejecting the election protests, which took aim at ballots cast by overseas and military voters as well as people with allegedly incomplete voter registrations. The board's three Democrats determined voters had not been given adequate notice of the protests, which they said otherwise failed to establish probable cause that a violation of law or irregularity had occurred.
The two Republican members voted in opposition on every matter except one — a protest centered on whether military and overseas voters should have been required to provide a copy of their photo ID with their ballot, which was unanimously rejected.
"I regret that we did not have unanimity in the other matters that we discussed today," board Chair Alan Hirsch, a Democrat, said at the conclusion of Wednesday's meeting.

That's great news - but didn't the bill passed yesterday by the NC GOP legislature stripping the governor of some of his powers take away the governor's control of the NC Elections Board and give it to Republicans? Which means that starting next year the GOP will actually likely gain a permanent majority on the board, which means that in any future elections like this the board would likely have voted to either throw out enough votes to just give the Republican candidate the victory, or voided the election and ordered another election. I dread future elections we have that are this close, as future election boards will almost certainly find creative ways to give Republicans the victory.NC Elections Board Rejects GOP Protests To 60,000 Votes - Law360

Legal challenges delay election result for North Carolina Supreme Court seat
It's been nearly two months since Election Day, but control of a seat on the North Carolina state Supreme Court is being held up in the courts. As Stephanie Sy explains, the trailing candidate is asking for more than 60,000 votes to be invalidated.
