If every third party vote had gone to kamala she would have still lost substantially. The dems shitty campaign, not allowing a democratic primary (repeatedly) and tone deaf policies/messaging is what caused them to lose the easiest election ever. Full stop. They’re not going to ever change. Thinking grassroots will take over the party shows you aren’t paying attention. Thinking ranked choice voting will swoop in and save the day shows you aren’t paying attention.
But ranked choice voting was passed a while ago and upheld in a recent referendum in alaska. State level electoral reform is the way forward to viable third parties.
(IMO STAR voting is better than RCV, but either is a vast improvement to our current hostage situation known as First-past-the-post voting)
