    So we’re supposed to keep voting for the same center right libs for eternity? The party leaders of the Democrats will never allow things like ranked choice voting because it takes power away from them. I do agree with you that at the local and state levels Democrats are far more likely than Republicans to support RCV, however with the federal Democrats in power nothing will change.

      This is the slippery slope fallacy. Regardless of why you are saying this, it’s an idea that Republicans are pushing to get people to believe.

      There is no reason to believe that the DNC won’t change, particularly as the ones you say fear taking their power away are old and cannot maintain this grip of power from the grave.

      It’s inevitable that the parties will change, and the GOP have shown the direction they want to change towards.
