@screwtape@synlogic @mara and I have been talking about how much your country (where she's from) is beginning to resemble the US in all the wrong ways.
Re: the current US political duopoly... I don't see how we can expect to get RCV through under the circumstances, & voting Dem isn't safe. Seems to me the best way forward is to encourage 3rd party votes. If everyone who says they would if they thought there was a chance did (incl. those who don't vote due to 2 evils), we'd be well on our way.
