One thing that gives me a little investment in electoralism is that we all know the old quote “if voting changed anything they’d make it illegal.”
Well they’re making it illegal alright.
Ranked choice voting is also a dead end if the choices are constrained. In Australia we have ranked voting and mandatory voting, but net result is a centre-left and centre-right party who we flip between every 3/6/9 years with some shuffling around of minor parties. If it's isn't made illegal it's made toothless.
