      Ranked choice voting allows you to rank each candidate in order of preference. This voting style is picking up steam in local and state level community initiatives, and is likely to allow the US to break from a 2 party system.

      Change is scary to Republicans so they are trying to vilify it and ban it for federal elections.

      Ranked Choice voting is how you have a democracy. It avoids situations like the US has where two very similar conservative parties run against each other, and there’s no way to elect a progressive party.
