You’re finally seeing the true colors with some of the commentary here. It’s a hope that by implementing RCV, the state can be pushed even further to the left.

Yeah I'd like to vote for a politician marginally to the left of Nixon.

Nixon:

  • raised the minimum wage by 40% in 1974
  • proposed the Family Assistance Program that would have guaranteed a minimum annual wage for families
  • proposed expanding Medicare / Medicaid so that everyone would be covered by a government program
  • signed the Clean Air Act and created the EPA and OSHA
  • expanded the food stamps program

Maybe do some research.

Yes, the majority of democrats are less progressive then Nixon, that's my point.
