The (majority of) people of the United States would benefit from a switch from a First Past The Post voting system to Proportional Representation or Ranked Choice Vote.

I'd be willing to try it out. I'd be willing to try anything. I really think we need take the broadest look possible at every option for improving the whole voting process. It should be unacceptable that half the voting-age population doesn't vote. It should be a national scandal.

No. I think an entirely new political party needs to be created. I’m not particularly concerned with how that effects the Democrats, or the Republicans for that matter.
