    It doesn’t, really. You’ll see when it fizzles out.

    Additonally, we can see even in other countries with RCV that it doesn’t majorly improve things, RCV isn’t a panacea, the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie still dominates the electoral system.

      I never said it was a panacea, I said you’d be able to vote for better candidates without risk, currently it makes no sense to vote for candidates that have no chance of winning.

      if it fizzles out It’ll be because of republicans, that many bills in that short of a time is not insignificant

      i don’t understand why you’re arguing against ranked choice, it’s objectively and obviously better than fptp

        It’s probably best not to bother - these people want things as shitty as possible as fast as possible to make the revolution happen sooner or some shit

        I’m not arguing against RCV, I’m arguing against the idea that

        1: it will ever pass, and

        2: the idea that if it passed, it would change anything.

        Revolution is necessary, something you’d think was obvious given your username.
