    I wish we had ranked choice voting, it just makes so much more sense

        There is really only one major party against ranked choice voting. Every year, Democratic caucuses vote to add ranked choice voting to their platform. Democrats have managed to get Ranked Choice Voting in several cities.

        Republicans do not. Republicans repeal RCV. Every RCV repeal in the US was done by Republicans.

        Both parties are not the same, and if you really want a third party candidate, you’re better off getting rid of every Republican you can.

        • This is exactly what I came to say. Dems also seem like the best chance to get the 127 DC states plan into play, after which we could easily see a surge in third parties (without the harm thanks to having nation wide RCV)
