Just curious, do you really expect Republicans or democrats to support legislation to end their stranglehold on American politics?
"In 2023, 74 bills were introduced supporting ranked-choice voting and 57 of these bills had only Democrat sponsors. In fact, just eight percent of the total bills received bipartisan support."
No, but there's one party that has shown support for it and one party that has attempted to outright ban it.
It's an easy choice.
Ranked choice voting is still first past the post... There is still only one winner, the results aren't spread proportionally. Ranked choice voting can give even bigger majorities with even fewer votes. Since you have only 2 real parties, it won't change much in the US.
...no, ranked choice prevents the spoiler effect, and therefore allows you to vote for candidates you are actually interested in without risk.
This would allow people to vote for 3rd parties without worry, and would destroy the two party system eventually.
You have no idea what you're talking about, and that's not what first past the post means.
