    The Fair Representation Act has been sponsored by a Democrat every time.

    It’s orders of magnitude more probable to get the slim minority you’re talking about to align D than it is to get the overwhelming majority I’m talking about to rally behind the same third party candidate. It’s not even worth comparing, the concept is laughable at best. To even hint at that happening this election is bordering on clinical levels of delusion.

    If you want to campaign for your candidate next cycle, be my guest. Start early, organize, fundraise and get the message out. Next cycle. This cycle, you’re dividing the anti-Project-2025 voting bloc. This cycle, you run the very real risk of ensuring there is no next cycle. Remember that.

      Yes, a democrat, with single digit cosponsors out of hundreds of democrats in a democrat controlled house the last time it was brought up. If the democratic party wanted ranked choice voting, we would have ranked choice voting now. the democrat controlled house didnt even bring it up for a vote. That’s the thing, it’s republicans=conservative and democrats=progressive for you, but a large number of democrats are conservative to me. I dont think a fully democrat controlled congress passes ranked choice voting. I dont think they pass lobbying reform. Hell there are democrats that still vote against minimum wage increases. I dont think a fully democrat controlled government looks much different from the one today.

      What’s gonna be different next cycle? You think Trump’s going away? You’ll be right here again in 2028 telling me democracy is at stake if I dont vote for your choice.
