Lmao -- ooooohhhh why didn't we think of that!
Just snap our fingers and change the system!
You can't just snap your fingers, but you could try to get ranked choice voting approved locally, which would make it easier to get it state wide which would make it easier to get it federally.
My city just passed that if no candidate gets at least 50% they drop the lowest voted people and everyone votes again. It's not perfect, but it's progress!!
In many red states, republiQans are passing laws to specifically prevent this change.
We have to vote them out first, and that is unfortunately under the FPTP system. After that, we have to save the planet and restore women’s bodily autonomy. Then we have to kill the Slaver’s College. then we can get to ranked choice. It’s a full slate.
