I'm with you. What's your plan?
I've started a gofundme.

There is a method that already exists. There are states that have signed an agreement where once enough states sign on to it, it automatically will go into effect. https://youtu.be/dFZyFmILb5w?si=rpQMxbgnNAjltx8X
That has nothing to do with this. That's the interstate popular vote compact and all it does is make the winner of the popular vote the winner of the election. It does absolutely nothing to end two party dominance, and continues all of the exact same flaws of the existing system but without the electoral college, and even that only in the unlikely event that the compact survives the inevitable challenge in the supreme court. You still only get one vote for one candidate and it comes necessarily at the expense of any others.
You're right I spose, but It's the first step. Every time the ec elected a Republican in the last 25 years, a dem won the popular vote.
Once Dems actually start winning, Then you have the ability to make changes. There are already states that have implemented ranked choice voting.
I mean, winning isn't the last step. The democrats are more likely to implement anything meaningful than the republicans, but we're still going to have to drag them kicking and screaming into doing it. If everyone breathes a sigh of relief and relaxes on November 7th nothing will change. The real work STARTS then.
Exactly right that's what I mean
Vote for the partiesand candidates that support ranked choice
