Eh.

We’ve had it since 1919 in Australia, yet we still have the same two parties right and righter.

RCV alone is not the answer.

You’re right. Most people will still vote for the primary candidates, but in an election like this past one where we could have had Harris and a white man on the Dem ticket, RCV could have swung the vote blue.

And no, alone it will not fix the problems, but it’s a key change. Yall have around 20% of offices held by third party or independent. US has none or close to none.

That's because Australia has a system like the US electoral college, but even more granular.
