I've been active in reforming voting systems since I think that makes a difference to how politics works.
Is there a path or actions that address class issues other than the standard "run for office" and "vote for people who will address class-related issues"?
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoFind a way to educate lower-class Americans about class, not just race. Ultimately, that should be more effective than reforming voting... if you can figure out how to do it.

(Note that it doesn't matter whether they have a point or not. What matters is that now, either way, you'll have to talk about it whenever RCV comes up. There is similar contention around IRV and some other methods; basically anything that disrupts existing power arrangements.)
