    I think Democrats are divided between ones who want RCV because it’s a good idea, and ones who want to kill it because it threatens their power.

    Anyone who tells you that all Democrats are the first thing, or all the second thing, and then draws a conclusion about what you need to do with your vote because of these things we all know, is not to be trusted.

      Yeah. There’s the “I vote democrat because currently they are the only realistic option for left wing ideals and to involve yourself in making positive political changes” vs the “corporate democrats”.

      Having your country only support two parties certainly means that you have to consolidate lots of different viewpoints into single parties.
