So three of the more than 250 elected democrats are trying, not for the first time by the way, to get the rest of their party to take it seriously. Talk to me when more than 2% of the Democrats do something about it because otherwise its basically just a platitude.
-
Bills are often started by one or a few people to get voted on by others. It will be resisted, but not by the side that would do well with a ranked choice with other left-sided third parties.
-
That would make more sense if this was their first time putting this bill forward, but it's not. They've tried this before and none of the other Democrats could be chuffed to stand behind it. This isn't new.
-
Bills don't often get passed on the first try. If anything you should be critical that this is only the second time, it ought to be a constant attempt to change a system that seemingly everyone not making a profit from is against. I'll also say that the only way anything like this will get passed is through the left, the right does not want everyone to get a vote. So it will likely fail again somewhere unless the ratio of left-right shifts. As is true of any bills that favor the public good.

Meaningful RCV implementation and meaningful gun control in the US are like talking about alien contact. Fun to talk about, but it's not going to happen in any of our lifetimes.
-
To be fair, the US Empire is likely to collapse in our lifetimes, so meaningful gun control and RCV may be a part of whatever replaces the US Empire.

That's optomisitic man. I forsee more of a mad max kinda thing.

Depends on how well Leftists organize, or don't.

This is a few people not the party as a whole.
Notably there is a platform out there for the Democratic candidate. Unless I missed something RCV is not on the agenda.

Do those goalposts have little feet on them?
"Democrats wouldn't do this"
Democrats do this
"No, not like that"
Look, I said it in a dumb meme format so you know it's true
(I appreciate you for posting here, just making fun of you 😊)

This is like saying Republicans oppose sending weapons to israel because Thomas Massie exists.
The meme says implement. If you think a small minority of a party can implement RCV you don't understand how the system works.
Especially if you actually look into what was linked and see that this is not the first time. The Democratic party has already shot it down in the past.
-
Implement doesn't mean "manifest from the aether with zero work". It means do every step until it's done. This is like step 5 of a lot.
