Oh, darn! If only we’d thought of that sooner! Hold my beer for a moment while I go push the “enact a form of ranked-choice or instant-runnoff” button, that’s just been sitting there this whole time. Why didn’t you suggest that sooner? It would have saved everyone so much trouble.

I don’t think the Democrats or the Republicans would like that. XD
they agree on what’s good for them but bad for the pubic
I only see that as a plus.
