We should have an election system like Canada. They do something amazing they make sure everyone who wants to vote is able too. and all elections are overseen by a independent commission.

I want my open party list proportional representation in the house and STV in the senate.

That will win you the HoR but not the Senate and the Presidency would still be up in the air. Not to mention that rural communities are still part of the country and deserve to have their voices heard and needs looked after. Unless you truly just want the Democrats to be a party of urbanistas and damn everyone else.

everyone who I wanted to win won. I did vote my interests. Plus Dan Donavan who represented Staten Island in Congress was defeated by Max Rose. I must say I didn't expect that at all. I thought the Island was a lost cause. It seems I was wrong.

It's extremely naive that you think both parties would and even should try to represent everyone. They each have their own coalitions and are going to stick with that.

I mean, rural voters do seem hellbent on making life impossible for anyone in a city.
