More proof the Democrats are blue conservatives. Ranked choice voting or bust. Going bust is okay if thats what yall want, I literally don't care.
Ranked choice voting is a cargo cult. Without changing the underlying structure of who has money and influence in society you're not going to have a democratic system in the first place. Look at what happened in NYC. Ranked choice voting didn't make the dominant class the most populous one. The landlords didn't even have to settle for a sycophant with a progressive mask.
You know that the perfect doesn’t have to be the enemy of good right? Both of you are right.
As finite beings, we have to prioritize realistic actions and should set our expectations for what we will accomplish with an approach. Many people expend all of their political energy on reformist dreams that can never accomplish the needed changes. Instead, they should place more of their energy into realistic and historically proven methods.
These things are also often at odds. Reformism is at odds with a revolutionary approach. Not just in methods but by spreading an unrealistic idea of what can be accomplished. Now the revolutionaries have to debunk that reformism on top of all the rest of their work! Everyone's time is wasted. We could do more with higher numbers and better focus.
