    Yep, all of us plebs want RCV. But the problem is in order to get it, we need one of two major parties in control to make the change. But they don’t want to make the change because they know if they do, us plebs will actually start voting for independent parties and they’ll lose their power. :(

      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?
