    It’s not about voting for a party in RCV. It effectively solves almost all of the US political dysfunction. With RCV…

    • each political party in the mix will actually have to campaign to win elections (no swing states),
    • gerrymandering will be a thing of the past,
    • the electoral college will finally die,
    • the people will get a candidate that more closely matches their desired candidate, and
    • best of all, we wouldn’t have to vote between a douche or a turd sandwich.

    Honestly, I get erect just thinking about how much better things could be with this system of voting. It’s essentially like a unionization for our political system, which is why it will never happen.

    Why would the wolves opt to remove themselves from the hen house?
