    Ranked choice voting is what we need at all levels of government. But Republicans will never allow this, especially at the President level because they know it will lead to them never being elected again. And ratification of any possible amendment to the Constitution at this point in our history is so unlikely it’s probably easier to just attempt a coup again and continue the attacks on voting rights.

    Perhaps in fifty years, if the US lasts that long.

      We need a proportional system. Instant Runoff only provides a marginal improvement over the status quo.

    People are increasingly against 2 or 3 states dictating the leadership of the entire country?

    unfortunately 65% is just the population of the 15 largest states.
