    This is why we NEED to have RCV, or Star voting. We cannot afford to run our elections using the broken system that the rest of the country uses.

      God I wish we could do RCV, even if only in primaries to start with. The candidate most closely aligned with my views is Tony Thurmond, but he’s polling at 2% so I can’t responsibly vote for him. Even if the votes end up the same after RCV, we’d get the most accurate polling data and the will of the people could be better understood. It’s literally superior in every way. Fuckin establishment politics.

      Well it’s especially weird with an open primary like this. Open primaries should be a good thing, just isn’t without RCV.
