the same democrats who rigged their own primary to install the favoured candidate? yeah not much credibility there for me.
Will the Democratic Party go for it? Party moderates might be skeptical, considering that in 2016 and 2020, the current system produced their preferred presidential nominees in Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
This is exactly the problem. We need current politicians to pass RCV to fix the current broken system. But they don’t see the current system as broken, because the current system is what got them elected, so it must work, right? Also, they may recognized that, in a system where voters have a real choice and aren’t forced to choose between the lesser of two evils, they might have a harder time getting elected (or maybe don’t even stand a chance), so… “that can’t be good.”
In our state, we’ve been getting RCV pushed through at city and county levels. It’s a hill climbing exercise. With every small and local hill we climb it helps us get to a bigger one next.
It completely sucks how long it takes, but that’s how big changes can happen… Eventually.
Bruh, it’s been like less than a primary since New Hampshire had their primary tossed out by the DNC…
I don’t think he will, but the DNC chair could 100% make the unilateral decision that unless a state did RCV for the presidential primary, their votes don’t count.
It’s just a wild take to pretend that’s not an option after neoliberals used it against the voters less than 2 years ago.
