  • Speaking personally, I am happy to see this change. As a longtime supporter of alternative voting systems, I am glad to see the ‘new guard’ agree and take steps toward it. I even trust them to do it honorably [generally]. I love that the new guard is more economic and future focused. Its great that we see some break from the neoliberal norm.

    Of course instant gratification would be nice. But I’m not complaining. And -personally- I haven’t seen others complain it’s too slow and booooo im a misanthrope.

    I think it’s better to phrase these opinions as questions, not accusations. Like: “3rd party revolutionary types: what do you think of these? Do you like them?”. I guarantee you can’t put us all in a box.

    In 2016, Dem candidate Larry Lessig (of the EFF) made election reform his entire platform, on the basis that it’s one of the main things destroying out country. He was laughed out of the race. He never expected to win, but to be laughed out … He was a Cassandra candidate; the soothsayer everyone takes as a fool.
