      It’s a bit more than performative. It’s pacifying. It manages to convince a lot of people that it does everything in its power so said people shouldn’t feel like there’s anything else to be done but vote again next time.

        Ranked choice voting already exists in several local and state races, most recently DC. It’s mostly blue states, because Democrats tend to allow it. Several Republican states have legislation banning it statewide, but such laws are entirely absent in blue states.

          Both sides the same!!! Except no one changes my voting district, because one to many black people moved in!

          Imagine living in a balanced voting district that hasn’t changed in years. Where ideas change the outcome, not a congress and a judge distorting public power.

          Anyway both sides bad and nothing weird about southern states and their voting districts.
