RE: Partisanship and Gridlock – An Analogy
Ranked choice voting! Ranked choice voting! Ranked choice voting!
I have been preaching this for years but so far only Maine is on board and even there it’s only for state level office.
Agree with you completely! Add to that the primary system and you are left with candidates who have to be extreme to even make it to a general election, because only the most dedicated voters show up to vote in the primaries, and these people tend to also be the most extreme in their views.
I forget about the primary system as I only participated in once to get a feel for it. RCV should be used in primaries. UT GOP has used it for rural counties so it can eliminate run off elections.
The duopoly needs to end..both parties should dissolve. I grew up in Canada so saw political parties being reborn quite often. With all the contention with the DNC and GOP its a wonder that has happened. People are too afraid of change.
