Another great example for Ranked Choice Voting. I'd love to have a system where we could express our disapproval of various candidates without functionally supporting the one we like least.

Who knows, maybe it will start to catch on. Maine and Alaska have it now.

People need to keep promoting it, especially in a non-partisan way. It MIGHT result in less extremes in office, but it WILL result in better representation.

I like your optimism. My cynicism is a newly acquired trait. What happened?

Watching and listening to people who used to be sane succumb to madness.

A ranked system would be an improvement over plurality elections, but the best system IMO is not ranked but scored. That is, you can express your degree of (dis)approval of each candidate independently, not only in a position relative to the others.
