5. Fair vote is fantastic. Also promoting ranked choice.

And proportional representation. Been around since the early 90's.

IMO, the best way to get ranked choice into general elections is to implement it in our State Democratic Party primaries. It's ultimately up to us to determine how we choose our nominees. Let's show that when we say we are the pro-Democracy party, we mean it!!

I think the more people see it in action, the more it will be adopted. It just f-ing makes sense!!. Far more sense than the "top two" run off shit.
