The other problem is voters trying to hold on to the Democratic party because of FPTP.
Which in turn makes the Democrats comfortable enough to run bad candidates.
Which in turn makes Democrats lose the election because they did not have to run on good policy to compete with a more left party, only a more right party.
The other problem is voters are idiots. Alaska had ranked choice and threw it in the trash. Massachusetts, and I’m sure several others, passed it up because “it’s too confusing”.
Too confusing? Motherfucker, have you never ranked things based on preference? Have you not a second favorite color, or ice cream flavor, or child, or season? Who is your next-best-friend? What was your dream job in college, and your fallback?
