Which is still better than the population of 10 counties that tend to vote they same exact way every time on two different coasts separated 2500 miles deciding on a single person to represent 335M people, 50 states and countless districts in between.
I am not arguing that what we have is perfect, it’s not…but direct democracy or god forbid these ranked choice and run off voting schemes don’t improve our ability to get anything but more of the same two shitty political parties and their same two shit candidates that rise to the tops of their respective political cesspools.
If it were up to me, sortition would be how we select a president.
