Who Needs Russians When You Have 'Justice Democrats'

58. Ranked choice, is only a part of, sometimes, a Proportional Representation system of voting

There are many different varieties and combinations.

But the end game is exactly that.....a more Democratic system for deciding representatives. Maybe you need to do some research.

And because Americans are, issue by issue, actually more liberal than conservative, it would result in a majority for progressives, even if they be Democrats together with Greens. So, in theory, it would be the end of the Republican party....unless they came back down to earth and sounded more moderate. Which that in itself would be a blessing.

The 2016 election was precisely a good example of why PR would have been better for Democrats. Hillary would have been deemed the winner. The popular vote is what counts.

But there'd have to be a whole cognitive switch for people to regard another progressive party as an ally to negotiate with rather than an enemy. Americans just have no experience with that. It is such a waste of energy to be fighting with Jill Stein and the Greens. The Green party has international roots, and been a part of government in other countries for decades. They lean heavily towards environmental issues, but also agree with most everything Democrats do, at least the new young progressive Ds. It is so odd and disconcerting to watch Ds and Gs fight so much against each other when, if compared to Republicans, they are one the same freakin side! But in the present system, they must be enemies, that is how it is set up.

Anyways, PR would be a long ways coming. It is the most democratic representation system, but I don't see any politician championing it right now.
