I tried searching democrats.org for Ranked Choice voting and didn't get any hits. Can you share the information you have?
How can you discuss the flaws of First past the post and NOT want to change the voting system?
IMO, the solutionis changing how we vote so the disenfranchised are encouraged to participate. More voters equals more democratic votes. So why arent democrats taking these easy votes? All it takes is passing electoral reform in the states they control.
Will your privilege save you when The Fall occurs?
We don't need to wait for the Republicans to stop existing before we get representation in exchange for our votes. With a more representative electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would be free to vote for those that best represents them, secure in the knowledge that their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn't win. Still counted against the republicans.
You see, we can have democracy and freedom at the same time. How we vote is controlled at the state level, so we should be able to make these changes in blue states where republicans have less influence.
Unless of course, the democrats in power in those blue states aren't interested in democracy.
So, we (leftists) should all vote for the Democrats this November.
Great, and I have. Yet the democratic party does not make electoral reform a priority. Are they ever going to address the problem of all these disenfranchised voters who don't want to vote for them? Why is the DNC gambling the future of the nation state every election on the Republicans driving voters to them?(because they ALL have been the most important election ever)
It's clear we need more political parties involved simply because the democrats are incredibly weak. Democrats need to beg people they dont represent to vote for them to stop fascism. That's the point of your entire comment right? Doesn't sound like they're doing well in this existential fight.
Democrats can't fight the republicans alone. Democrats need backup to defeat the republicans. Don't you want more chances to defeat the republicans? Don't you want more people on the debate stage to call out trumps bullshit?
First Past The Post voting has got to go before it ends us all.
Other electoral systems to choose from:
We could unite over democracy right?
We should help work towards passing electoral reform in each of our states. Then you can put all those people upset with the democrats into the game. Let them to participate in the electoral process.
More people voting means more democratic votes. Don't you want more votes for the democratic party?

Standards are low.
It's the 1% vs the working class, not generation vs generation
