Ranked Choice Voting

(Lightly edited from a Twitter thread.)

I keep saying the GOP needs to be destroyed, utterly. That's true. But how can that happen when there are still honest, non-corrupt conservatives in the country? (Which there are.) They're not going to suddenly become Democrats, & you don't want the Democrats pulled right like that.

We need an honest conservative party in the US, if only to balance out the off-the-wall parts of the left. One that still respects science and civil rights, but can disagree on implementation details.

But in our 2 party system, how can such a party come to pass?

I've been working with Fair Vote IL lately, which is working to advocate for Ranked Choice Voting in Illinois. For now we're looking toward the Presidential Primaries but the long-term goal is to use RCV for all elections. If you're not familiar with Ranked Choice Voting, the Australien Government has an excellent explainer:

Or if that's too flippant for you, CGP Gray has a nice animated explainer:
