      As much as it would be nice if the world worked that way, that’s not how the world works unfortunately.

          I’m happy to inform you that there are Democrat-controlled states and localities that have successfully passed ranked-choice voting.

          And there are states that have BANNED ranked-choice voting as well. I’ll let you guess which party was behind those.

          So does this change your stance on whether Democrats are doing anything to change first-past-the-post voting systems?

          Your votes don’t exist in a vacuum. There absolutely needs to be election reform to make third party voting a more viable option instead of a liability, but it hasn’t happened yet so for now you live in a reality where you’re voting in an imperfect system and trying to will the fantasy of a perfect system into existence instead of acknowledging that isn’t helping anyone, least of all people who want to be able to actually vote third party.
