Sure, but note that these 80% are described as about equal between Republicans and Democrats. Meaning 80% of people are afraid the ‘other side’ is going to lead to catastrophe, but they don’t agree on which side is the threat, and probably a fair share that believe that both of the likely “sides” will end in catastrophe.
If four out of five people voted, then I think we’d be in a lot better shape as a country. Civic engagement does not seem to be on the uptick, would love to see some better stats on that.
I don’t disagree, but I will say that 80% are afraid it is sliding into chaos, and after the election you may have about 40% of people somewhat relieved, but expect the other 40% to be extra afraid.
Look, I agree with you. And almost everyone agrees ranked choice is the best solution.
But like nuclear fusion, we can’t make decisions based on what we WISH we had. We have to make decisions based on what we HAVE. When ranked choice advocates start pushing harder in campaigning for reform in off years instead of lamenting what we don’t have every time an election comes up, maybe we can make some progress. Alaska and Hawaii managed it.
Then vote…
I’m going to but either party winning the election is not going to stop America’s decline
That may be true, but one party is loaded with criminals actively trying to hasten said decline.

Careful. Mods have instituted a “no calling out of bots or trolls” rule.

They are probably automaton themselves
How about you start studying the topic ranked choice.
