Just gotta keep educating people about it, especially during times like this. A lot of people in power don’t want it, but some opposition is also cost related.

They’re doing the same with rising wages. You can’t win unless you make laws against it, but that’s anti-capitalist. The people literally have the power. Don’t buy things and force them to lower prices.
Finally. Everybody on Lemmy has been sucking donkey dick so hard. They’re not gonna save you. Need to start looking elsewhere or force their hand. RCV will help do that.
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.
Yup. People in power don’t want it. The public needs to be educated, and maybe this past election will be a future motivator to vote for RCV, or Star.
Yeah it’s not popular among people with power, republicans AND democrats.
No, even with Stein and Oliver votes she would have lost. She lost really badly, unfortunately. She needed ~4M more votes and all the other votes other than Trump or Harris only totaled to around 2M.
Yeah we’re such a young nation. We’re destined to experience the changes that other nations have.
The other option is to dilute swing states with an influx of liberals, but doesn’t solve the problem of half the country feeling unrepresented.
Some counties in Oregon use RCV or Star for some elections. It’s progress.
But I agree, nobody wants to love power on either side so there’s no support. Dems are not our saviors. Up to the people.
Another solution would be liberals leaving their bubbles and moving to swing states.
Southern California. It jumps. Lost legs unfortunately trying to catch it. Released outside.

If they’re allowed to do it, so will others who have signed NPT, like Iran. To be fair, Russia seems to have violated the Budapest Memorandum so should at least be allowed to have nuclear weapons, by maybe not develop their own.
