Surprisingly based from ND, to be completely honest
I agree that the first-past-the-post voting system should be replaced with something better, but at the same time, complaining that people should participate more in primary elections is not a solution to the problem. A solution would be implement mandatory voting. That’s not a popular solution (and you probably personally hate the idea), but it is a solution. I am not advocating for it.
There’s also just a sense of election fatigue. The US has a general election every other year which is far more often than most other countries.
