    I mean, either campaign for, run for, or vote for local officials that boost rank-choice-voting. Get your county to apply it. Then push for your state. Then we’ll work on the country. But until then, vote Democrat for president so that Trump doesn’t take away your vote, and we can keep working at it.

      Sorry my blue/red local officials don’t want rank choice voting, but I have to vote for one of them according to you, so what do I do?

        At a local level? Run for office. At a local level you only have to convince a few hundred people to vote for you. I (repeatedly) told you it’s only black and white at the president level. There is not enough support to get a third party president yet. So build up support by building your party through local positions.

      Why do you think politicians would hurt their power and damage their donors?

      Get your county to apply it. Then push for your state. Then we’ll work on the country.

      How? Why would representatives change?

      But until then, vote Democrat for president so that Trump doesn’t take away your vote, and we can keep working at it.

      Seems I don’t have a vote either way, and it’s more important to build up dual power to eventually replace this wretched system.

        It seems like you’ve decided you are powerless, so you are. You don’t want to work at a local level to build up third parties who would agree with your policies. You just want to whine on the internet. So I’m done. Enjoy your whining.

          There are third parties that agree with me, such as PSL. They’re even on the ballot in many states. You just told me to vote dem though, meaning you aren’t telling me to vote third party anyways.
