10 years ago I was a big “ranked choice could fix everything!” lib and I guess for that reason it feels like a very juvenile and poorly thought out bandaid slapped on the problem. I mean if we switched capital would just find a way to capture it in the same way they do fptp now. They still have all the money and lobbying isn’t going anywhere

We have a thing for ranked choice on the ballot in my state but it comes with nonpartisan primaries that will send four of the same ghoul to the ranked choice general and get rid of write ins.

They probably would if participation gets low enough or a third party gets enough repeated success, but be prepared to see crony parties being propped up to sheepdog the less ideologically committed or single-issue voters into ruling coalitions. “Here’s your seat at the table now shut the fuck up.”
