.....suppression organization hears "more inclusive" they're going to be against this.
Got to love Robert Reich. These videos are always so informative.

2. Ranked choice isn't a panacea..

...it certainly won't discourage hit pieces against candidates by so-called "SuperPACs".

Instant Runoff has a bunch of real positives so I'm not sure why Reich is touting that clearly false aspect in this.

I'm not expecting it to be implemented here in New York, but I always enjoy Robert Reich's take on things...

Wish we could force feed republicans his videos on "trickle down economics"
so they'd learn how their party is screwing them.

7. They have this in Alaska and Maine

Kick the entirety of Congress out, replace them with all new people, and pay them $2 million per year. People who can't currently afford to be in Congress because they can't live on less money than a Walmart or Lowe's store manager earns will be able to serve in Congress.
