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

    To the author: Stop bitching and start educating people on ranked voting and the removal of the electoral college as our most important tasks to keep democracy.

      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.

    No it’s not. It’s not apples to apples. It’s apples to anthrax.

    Not really, people were pretty clear that they didn’t like Biden or Harris, it’s just that they’re better than Trump.

    I’ve been polled a couple of times this year and they ask me to rank the candidates from 0 to 100.

    I put Biden at about a 60, Harris at 55, but Trump is a zero.

      Most people only really care about 2-3 topics in a federal election. People pick the candidate that aligns with what they believe is important. In the 2 party system that almost never changes because each party has a somewhat unified set of beliefs.
