    No wonder the right hates this guy. Instead of making a fortune under the table, this guy’s doing his job! He’s making everyone else look bad!

      But, he’s wearing a nice suit. That means he’s no better than any other elitist politician. Don’t be fooled by what he’s doing…just look at him! /s

      The rest of the country really needs to implement Ranked Choice Voting in order to give more people like him a chance.

        RCV is a politician’s trap. It isn’t electoral reform, it is ballot reform. It comes in good forms like STV, or bad forms like IRV. And the politicians always want IRV, because that trends even faster than FPTP towards a 2 party system.

        You need a system that actually lets you elect a third party, not one that lets you write one on a ballot to no avail.

          Specifically a process that doesn’t allow money to run wild for influence.

            The issue is that money is currently running wild for influence, so it’s staggeringly difficult to make such changes in the face of all the money being put forward to stop us.

        I’ve always been more partial to approval voting, but either is better than first past the post
