“In 2023, 74 bills were introduced supporting ranked-choice voting and 57 of these bills had only Democrat sponsors. In fact, just eight percent of the total bills received bipartisan support.”
No, but there’s one party that has shown support for it and one party that has attempted to outright ban it.
Ranked choice voting is still first past the post… There is still only one winner, the results aren’t spread proportionally. Ranked choice voting can give even bigger majorities with even fewer votes. Since you have only 2 real parties, it won’t change much in the US.
You’re conflating “voting for a single-seat position” with any method of vote counting. There’s only ever one winner if there’s one seat, but there are better ways of counting votes than first-past-the-post. At least with ranked-choice, more people are happy with the outcome because the winner might be their second preferred option.
Dictatorships are a terrible place to live because the wealth of the nation doesn’t depend on the citizens. Illiterate slaves can dig-up a mine.
Democracies on the other hand are better places to live not because the people are better, but because the wealth of the nation is dependend on the productivity of the citizens. That’s the only reason you have a highway to the hospital.
Vote in the party you think will enact change, and protest / halt the economy until changes start happening. Right now politicians and corporations don’t care nobody is happy, it’s not affecting their bottom line. Id argue in recent years they accelerated their abuse because there are no consequences.
The parties in place won’t do it themselves, the people need to do it
Just curious, do you really expect Republicans or democrats to support legislation to end their stranglehold on American politics?
Do you really think that voting for these people is going to change their mind?
They already have in several states… So yes?

It’s an easy choice.
Ftfy. This is the Democrats go to game plan.
It is insulting to pretend Democrats support ranked choice voting while they’re suing to keep it off of the ballot in DC.
It’s almost as if a political party isn’t a monolith. Crazy.
There are some democrats that support ranked choice voting.
There are almost no republicans that do.
It is still an easy choice.
What are you quoting?

Your understanding of Ranked Choice voting, and what the point of it is, seems to be missing a big chunk right there in the middle…
