I mean…yeah? If 2028 rolls around and we don’t have ranked-choice voting (or similar) for federal elections, I will say the same thing. And I will be objectively right.
Don’t stop pushing for ranked choice. What you can do today is write to your representative about the Fair Representation Act, which includes provisions to require ranked choice voting (for congressional elections). That is a the natural next step. This is not an overnight process.
But let’s be real: politics does not move fast enough for anything we do today to affect this year’s presidential election. Honestly, if anyone tries to fundamentally change the election system this close to a presidential election, they are surely corrupt. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. If you wait for the whole world to change before taking a step, you’re going to be waiting your whole life.
Do you seriously think that NOT voting is somehow going to accelerate change?
I’m glad you’re angry. You should be. But there are ways to channel that that are NOT self-destructive. You don’t have to choose between voting and advocating. That makes no fucking sense.
