If the Democrats win nothing will change.

They will continue to push the overton window, as they keep the seat warm for the next right wing fascist.

This is what Democrats have done with power over the last 50 years.

We either get ranked choice voting going, or elect a 3rd party, otherwise we stay on the same path the Duopoly was designed to keep us trapped on.

How do you have ranked choice for a two party system?

Ranked choice eliminates the two party hold, genius.
