    I’m pushing for RCV in local elections. This is a change that needs to happen from the ground up and won’t happen overnight but people really think that trying to convince internet strangers not to vote for two months every 4 years is the solution.

    Where are you, Jill Stein? I guess campaigning for Putin really takes it out of you so you deserve your 44-month hibernation

      RCV would be a major step forward in reducing the indolence and complacency of the Dems, even if third parties don’t make immediate electoral gains.

        Exactly. If the Dems didn’t feel obligated to change after Clinton vs Trump, I feel like 2028 won’t be any different. They need to realize that all they are - and have been since I started paying attention - the lesser of two evils.

        They need to understand that for the majority of us, we vote blue not because we like you but because we really don’t like the other candidate. RCV would crush the Democrats.
