Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You've proven your ignorance. Democrats have already been trying to get ranked choice voting.
It's absolutely pointless to try to talk to someone like you. You just want to be right, even if it means spouting things that are easily proven wrong.
I've been "trying to get" a bunch of things I'll never get, so I understand your disappointment. Hey, maybe next election, eh?
Yep. That is actually correct. We've definitely gotten some progress and getting things we want and need in the face of the right-wing opposition. It's more and more likely as people continue to work together instead of throwing a hissy fit and virtue signaling. Maybe try working together and you'll get more of what you want.
The road to success is paved in increments, not all at once. However, by demanding you get everything instantly and trying to sabotage the only group that can stand a chance against the worse option. Then you're only helping a regime that is actively making things worse and undoing any progress that has been made. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for that.
But, I'm certain that you're either intentionally spreading propaganda or just doing so in ignorance that you've been manipulated, so no reasonable logic I say is going to make any difference while your head is in the ground. You've proven that already by spouting outright falsehoods.
