Not a fan. It also means that the minority of a large state is never represented. (So like 45% of Florida doesn't matter electorally and so do 6 million republicans in California) I'm not a fan of the winner takes it all systems in such countries. It benefits some states, and other states have no influence or sh**t. I don't even understand how one state can even tolerate this sh**t. Californians should always be in favour of independence. They have no voting power and their state doesn't matter politically. They're being taken hostages by the average America that is not in line with their views, and what matters in California might not matter elsewhere.
I believe in proportional elections. D'hondt method. Maybe proportional by state (so some states would still have at large elections, the states that are too small). That could be done for the house.
Senate system need an entire overhaul, because you cannot defend this system. Perhaps abolition of the senate is the only solution, and putting more weight on the house.
No more district nonsense, no more district bullsh**t, no more gerrymandering, no more spending of 3 billion euros on one obscure district with 100.000 voters, if done right equal voting power and representation by party, demographic and even giving third parties a shot (and if not, allocate some guaranteed seats to minorities, like they do in Chile).
You'all need to realize that the political system in the US doesn't work, maybe it did work centuries ago, but it doesn't work today and especially with increased polarization this is becoming painfully clear with two parties desperate to hold power.
