this voting system is stupid as f@%k though: as a voter, you should be able to sort your candidates as per your preference, not chose pick one and only one

Democrats lost worse on 2024 than Republicans did 2020. We judge Republicans for supporting their party after Trump effectively commandeered it but we don't hold ourselves to the same standard when the Democratic party has been shown to be an absolute and abject failure. Maybe it's time we look in the mirror. We gave Democrats three chances, 2016, 2020, and 2024 and they failed to deliver every time. We need to hold ourselves to the same standards we hold Republicans and start thinking about alternatives.
I mean okay. That's kind of not how people work. You can hate it, but it's just not how people work. I thought y'all had learned that by now.
RCV
Eh.
We’ve had it since 1919 in Australia, yet we still have the same two parties right and righter.
RCV alone is not the answer.
You’re right. Most people will still vote for the primary candidates, but in an election like this past one where we could have had Harris and a white man on the Dem ticket, RCV could have swung the vote blue.
And no, alone it will not fix the problems, but it’s a key change. Yall have around 20% of offices held by third party or independent. US has none or close to none.
More accurately, it's the potential voters sitting at home not voting that did it. Republican-leaning people got out and voted, as they always do.
Me: About to buy my first home.
Also me: Trump is going to be president??? Fuuuuuuck. May as well just light this big pile of money on fire!
Aw hell......doesn't matter anyways. Pennies don't melt......
Not only pennies do melt, they are more valuable once molten. It's just illegal to do it.
..................well shit. I spent my teenage years selling weed. I didn't know I could make money burning things!
Also me: Trump is going to be president??? Fuuuuuuck. May as well just light this big pile of money on fire!
