    Actually, it’s very possible. Capital, despite being a tool of oppression, is also a tool that pays for roads, schools, hospitals, and everything else that the government funds. Capitalism is definitely not the best system, but it’s the one that’s currently available, and despite the common narrative here on lemmy, there are people that work at the Federal level that aren’t being actively lobbied that do indeed pass good legislation. The way to improve the system is by implementing ranked voting, which increases the equity of representation in DC. Voters in Wyoming shouldn’t have the same say in politics as voters in New York or other more densely populated congressional districts.

      Then do it. Try to test your ideas against reality. You’ll find that RCV

      1. Will only be allowed in small amounts as a show of feasibility, without affecting major change

      2. Will be gutted if it ever does get implemented and stands chance of changing anything.

      The path forward is revolution, not a giant prayer for RCV to be implemented magically.
