Psh, yeah, if you want the easy way out!
Seriously, though, it boggles the mind that there hasn't been a stronger push for ranked choice voting. Of course the establishment parties would do their best to suppress anything that might help unseat them, but you'd think the disenfranchised millions who feel no strong affiliation to red or blue would be pushing harder for it. It's not perfect, but at this point, I think most would agree that a major change is necessary if we ever want to Make America Kinda Okay Againโข
Oh yeah, 100% agree. It's insane it isn't a top priority to me. I would have to imagine the powers that be have little to no interest in that kind of change. The world would be a much better place with ranked choice voting though, maybe someday!
