Jungle primaries have existed in California, Washington and Alaska since at least 2014. You still see a convergence on the two main parties across every level
I’d rather see proportional representation than waste time fiddling with RCV/instant runoff or nonpartisan primaries.
The two party political system isn’t the only problem.
Proportional voting in say, Germany, hasn’t stopped the rise of the far right in other countries that have it.
A more common underlying problem is that more and more people get their news and information solely from social media, which actively promotes the most sensational and polarizing stories and disinformation because it generates more clicks for advertising dollars.
America desperately needs a third, fourth or more political parties rather than deciding between which half of the one party state.
The US does in-fact have multiple third parties. Everyone who votes for them just gets yelled at for being Trump supporters.
That and stop legal bribery. Disclaimer: am not usaian.
Having two round elections would pave way to having more than two parties, apparently even that is too hard
if we had general primaries maybe we could effectively get the ball rolling towards a real voting system
