    Well, since there is no way a third party can be elected, obviously we seem blind.

      Totally agree but one of the reasons you aren’t seeing RCV being passed across the country regardless of it being a bi-partisan issue is because neither side wants to lose the power of a two party system and the blind allegiance it creates.

        Well, yes. So… there will never be anything more than what we have now. Panic every 4 years.

              Over time it will. More exposure and more education. More people are talking about it. Especially after this Trump-Biden scare.

                Education has been plummeting for years. I feel you’re too optimistic.
