I'm sure some of these strawman exist in a field somewhere keeping the crows away.

Democrats need to get rid of First Past The Post voting in the blue states they control. Time to admit they need help and shouldn't be going alone against the republicans

More democracy. More chances to defeat the republicans. More people engaged and involved in the political process.
More people voting = more votes for democrats. More chances of republicans electing a more moderate candidate.

Electoral reform is an absolute win for the people of this country. Except for the legacy poltical parties. They will unfortunately have to compete for your vote. If they are unable to stay relevant, that's on them for becoming weak and frail using FPTP as a crutch.

Getting rid of FPTP in only blue states will make it more likely for the Republicans to win overall, as they will take all of the FPTP red state and some of the now proportional blue states

Why would the democratic party want democracy? The people in positions of power in the party got a lot of great fundraising this cycle, and they'll be able to use the threat of this incoming disaster to raise even more!

Sadly people voted against Ranked-Choice Voting in multiple states this year also, so good luck making any progress with regards to that...
