It’ll never work…
At least not until we flush all the moderates out and replace them with progressives who actually want to give the people what they ask for.
Moderates know the main reasons they get votes is they’re not Republicans.
In the current system that means they get the vote of everyone left of republicans. They just have to win the primary, and as the party has argued in court: the primary isn’t a real election and they can influence it as much as they want, because at the end of it, they don’t even have to abide by a primary’s results.
In RCV that means they get ranked slightly above a Republican, and unlikely to win any elections anywhere.
So they’ll oppose it just to maintain their existing power.
Before we can fix America, we need to fix the Democratic Party. Then fight the Republicans
Moderates make up 85% of the population. Are you saying you want to remove access to vote for the vast majority of people to support your tiny minority views?
Moderates make up 85% of the population
What?
For that to remotely have a chance at being true, then you’re counting a sizable amount of Republicans as “moderates”.
A claim like that really needs a source
Are you saying you want to remove access to vote for the vast majority of people to support your tiny minority views?
Clearly not…
That would only make sense if you first claim was factual, which it isn’t. And even then, clearly wasn’t what I was saying…
Far Left make up about 5%, Far Right are 10%, Moderates (everyone else) make up 85%
Gallop says 81% make up the middle. Far Right 9%, Far Left is 7%, and Moderates 81%. There are no conservatives or liberals anymore. They are all Moderates now compared to the Progressives and Fascists on the two ends.
