    I personally believe ranked choice voting is the only thing left that could possibly save this country. When only two large powerful organizations control our entire political system things will not go well. On top of that, it encourages team sports mentality where people adopt political positions simply to support their team. Worst yet, it gives these parties too much power to control candidates who stray from the party line. If you’re running as a Democrat and have even one opinion that doesn’t align with the script you’ll be pushed out. Republicans mostly didn’t agree with Trump until he took the party over and used that power to push out anyone who didn’t agree with him. If we had multiple parties it would be a lot harder to stop a candidate who deviated on opinion and that’s the way it should be.
