The fact that you only ever hear about ranked choice voting when you tell Democrat you’re thinking of voting third part illustrates what their true objectives are.

(Also, I see third candidate parties in every midterm and local election I vote in at all levels of government. I have no idea what you’re talking about).

(Also also, anyone reading this who lives in a swing state and hasn’t voted yet, please, just votes for Harris. She sucks, but Trump is even more dangerous now that he has a staff full of enablers and an actual plan. We have to beat him.)

Not having RCV doesn’t make anything worse.

Promoting third-parties without RCV in place does.

Well, third parties have always existed and will always exist, so it sounds like the Democrats need to get cracking on RCV. That is, unless they don’t actually want RCV because it might disrupt the duopoly that empowers them, and they’d prefer that third-parties remain a boogeyman they can use to bully people I to voting for them (or a scapegoat for their losses).

Democrats have been behind, or at least caucused to support, most of the RCV initiatives that have been put forward.
