      Imagine not having to sit around waiting for another inevitable corporate-backed coup to strip our voting rights away because we have a system strong enough to survive a couple billionaires posting endless lies on Twitter.

      After everything they’ve done to corrupt both parties through lobbyists, funding, and industry plants, it’s just a matter of time unless we fix our system to be more resilient against manipulation with things like ranked choice voting.
