America continues trying to fool it's own people into thinking their 2-party system is a good idea.

It’s not that it’s a good idea. It isn’t. It’s a terrible idea.

It’s that without ranked choice voting, the spoiler effect means a third party vote is shooting yourself (and everyone else) in the foot.

God I wish we had ranked choice voting across the country.

Imagine a case where multiple candidates on the Dem or Con side team up against the worse candidate, promoting cooperation AND competition instead of just competition.

Right? I was so excited to sign my state’s ranked choice ballot proposal petition at the No King’s rally last month. I think it is ones of the most important issues, because it impacts all the others.
