Sixty-three percent of Americans say a third U.S. political party is needed, up from 56% a year ago and by one percentage point the highest in Gallup's 20-year trend.
Story Highlights
Third time support has exceeded 60%, along with 2017 and 2021
Republicans primarily behind the increase, with 58% now in favor
Political independents remain group most likely to favor third party
Yep, all of us plebs want RCV. But the problem is in order to get it, we need one of two major parties in control to make the change. But they don’t want to make the change because they know if they do, us plebs will actually start voting for independent parties and they’ll lose their power. :(
It’s not about voting for a party in RCV. It effectively solves almost all of the US political dysfunction. With RCV…
each political party in the mix will actually have to campaign to win elections (no swing states),
gerrymandering will be a thing of the past,
the electoral college will finally die,
the people will get a candidate that more closely matches their desired candidate, and
best of all, we wouldn’t have to vote between a douche or a turd sandwich.
Honestly, I get erect just thinking about how much better things could be with this system of voting. It’s essentially like a unionization for our political system, which is why it will never happen.
Why would the wolves opt to remove themselves from the hen house?
I’m personally in favor of STAR, takes how leading candidates fair in head to head matchups against each other without confronting voters with the possible ballot Atlas of a true condorcet vote
Stop Tim (my neighbor from) Voting? I’m for that. Dude is a giant dork and votes explicitly for things he thinks will fuck things up, not things he thinks will improve society. He’s a doomsday dude, wants society to go to hell in a handbasket so, per his religion, his god can come and fuck it up more. I mean, believe what you want, just, let’s try and make this place better not worse.
RANKED CHOICE VOTING
make parties irrelevant
Precisely why they will never let this happen

Pleasantly surprised to see this is the top comment.

This is a core policy of the Forward Party along with open primaries and independent redistricting commissions.
