    This is exactly why we need ranked choice voting.

    Winner takes all essentially demoralizes and alienates voters and drives people who agree with each other to fight because they’re trapped in a broken system.

    So instead of fighting the system, it’s easier to just blame other people and alienate more of them against your cause, shooting yourself in the foot with ignorance. It’s kind of disgusting.

      How would we get ranked choice passed using the current two party system though? I can’t imagine politicians voting to give up power in that way.
