    Bullshit.

    The democrats could have easily passed electoral reform and given 3rd parties equal access to the electoral process in the states they controlled. Then there would have been multiple attempts to defeat the republicans each election.

    Democrats would prefer the nation fall to authoritarianism over having to compete for your vote on a fair playing field.

    Party over country, till the day the country dies.

      Politics has never gone well when it’s been a game of determining who exactly is pointing their gun at the puppy by being obstinate over one thing. It’s basically being a single issue voter.

      The fall to MAGA is tragic, but it’s: “THE VOTERS would rather prefer the nation fall to authoritarians”.

      I will also point out: Ballot measures for ranked choice voting, independent of candidates, failed in some states. So it’s clearly not as popular as you think it is.
