Alas, I fear the US might be too far gone for ranked choice to have an effect.

The problem is quality of candidates. Since Citizen's United opened the door for unlimited corporate money in elections, literally 90% of candidates are on someone's payroll. "Grassroots" is a thing of the past. Mass media and name recognition are everything.

Where are progressives on that scale? Oh, and do fascists, I definitely want to know how a fascist stacks up against a liberal!

This is kind of an insane take.

Women have always been vulnerable. Women are easy targets because they are, on average, physically weaker than males.

Women get raped and sexually assaulted at rates far beyond men. 50% of women will suffer a sexual assault of some kind in their life. Just 3% of men report a sexual assault.
