Another reason to like Tim Walz. He has openly supported RCV: https://www.rcvbloomington.org/supporters
These kinds of reforms would be so much easier to implement under a monarchy or some kind of dictatorial state.
I hope this is sarcastic. Because yes, one-party/dictator states CAN implement changes incredibly fast. It’s why China is able to get so much infrastructure and nuclear/renewable energy installed so fast… it’s just, yknow, the rest of the problems are uhhhhhhhhhhhh
Of course. I deliberately didn’t put a /s because it’s ludicrous but it was a fun litmus test
Trivially easy in fact, until they became impossible to implement when the dictator didn’t step down.
Elected nixon, elected bush, elected another bush, elected donald fucking trump, every president in between is just: well at least it’s not _______
We deserve better. Do you?
Removing the other by choking it to death via atrophy of no longer being able to win is how you get the remaining party to split along conservative/progressive lines. The resulting progressive faction will be more willing to do ranked choice. If we allow the Republican party to continue to exist - or worse, win - it will remove democracy as a whole and then you’ll get the opposite of ranked choice.
It’s not about supporting the lesser of two evils. Period.
It’s about punishing the greatest evil through every means available until it FUCKING DIES.
Vote progressive and you’ll get voting system reform. And, more importantly imo, campaign finance reform.
Also vote in every local election. Even the seemingly insignificant ones like a school board election.
We only get the endless loop of people voting out of fear or against something around these parts.
