Memes that are mostly a long chunk of text really benefit from proper spelling and capitalization.

If you're going to spend that much time typing, at least run it through a word processor to add punctuation and check that you're not saying "we're" when you mean to be saying "where".

Brevity is dead.

You can tell this is a leftist meme because it's got way too much text on it.

Good luck finding compromise now in days. I don't think the left and right are even compatible anymore. Like fuck, everything has been so bulkanized on both sides to the point that no one even agrees with their side either. Not that I'm advocating centrism, the right wing are monsters, but to say we can only do things all sides agree with will make sure NOTHING happens

Still think counsel democracy is fire

Instant runoff voting with single-member districts still leads to a two-party system. Australia is a current practical example.

What you need is proportional representation with multi-member districts, or a mixed system with leveling seats.

one of the benefits of ranked-choice voting is that it often requires a candidate to earn >50% of the vote for them to succeed, which theoretically would hopefully result in better satisfaction of candidates - under the current "first past the post" system, a lot of people win with a minority of the overall vote (often 40% of the vote or less), which predictably leads to nobody being particularly happy with their representatives

now, I don't think ranked-choice voting will solve corruption or dissatisfaction with representatives who don't fulfill their promises, but I do think it would help the situation and make it harder for bad representatives to get elected (or re-elected)

Project 2026 is aiming their sights at killing ranked voting. Florida is already fucking it over (with the added irony that Boca Raton turned blue).

It actually came up for a vote in seven different places in the US in 2024, very simple "Yes or No" vote.

Bonus: Portland, Oregon used it in their Mayoral and City Council elections, District 1 saw a 20% drop in voter participation on the ranked choice options. People simply skipped them.

"According to the city’s elections office, of the District 1 voters who participated in the November election, only 43% voted in the City Council race. (In other districts council race participation ranged from 64% to 66%)."

For fucks sake write an essay.
