Democrats have instituted ranked choice voting in some states.

Republicans have also made moves on ranked choice voting. They banned it in Florida.

It's a carrot that will never be implemented in any meaningful capacity, it's kabuki theatre. Even if it got implemented nationally, the moment it risked changing the status quo it would either be defanged or gone entirely.

There is no implemented nationally. States run their own voting systems. You do this state by state or you don't.

Exactly, hence why it doesn't stand a chance of impacting anything.

Then there's no point in voting for the Socialist party, either.

There is, though minor.

  1. It delegitimizes the Electoral system.

  2. It signals strength in Communist Parties, serving as an advertisement.

  3. In the microscopic chance it succeeds, revolution may not be fully necessary.
