Presidential incumbency is too strong an advantage that no party will ever give that up.

    more than likely, but we should advocate for ranked choice, open primaries alongside advocacy for ranked choice elections. More democracy is always a good thing, and we as leftists shouldn't shy away from something just because the establishment doesn't want it.

    The GOP has already banned RCV in Florida & (I think) Texas.

    EDIT: Look at this stupid shit @ClockworkOrangeRoughy, downvoting facts.

    I don't think I heard about that, is there a source I could read? That's incredibly disheartening, but we shouldn't give up in those states either.
