Strategic Election Reform Would Deter War!

Why? Because the political-economy of war is simple: the few benefit at the expense of the many and so anything that bolsters popular democracy will deter war. And strategic electoral reform, the use of a better mix of winner-take-all and winner-doesn't-take-all elections, would bolster popular democracy by handicapping the major parties so more people are more likely to be the swing-voters in more elections, while the intere$t$ who benefit from war would have to hedge more by donating to both major parties, which would both lower the return on or effectiveness of their $peech. This and more LTPs would help anti-war activism to check the US's unfortunate imperialistic tendencies.
