Democrats have had many opportunities to push for ranked choice voting but chose not to. How is ftpt the fault of the parties that have never had the power to do anything about it?
It is F P T P....and yeah, full voting reform takes time. SOME STATES have ranked choice or at least a representative split of their electoral votes instead of winner take all...just like SOME STATES started with weed legalization and it spread, SOME STATES started with abolishing slavery and it spread....we are JUST getting it going and we might lose any chance at it if p2025 gets pushed through and we lose all hope of it. Read about p2025 and the entrenchment of garbage people into every facit of our government so we don't have a chance of it spreading ever again....assuming we get to actually vote (and not end up with a Russian "democracy").
It is just a confluence of bad timings as inaction was finally starting to become change.
