Ranked Choice voting.

Sure.
Especially for the primaries. Defeats the purpose when you only have 2 choices though.

I am for it.

yeah why not.

I am for it. Also, this business where Iowa and New Hampshire goes first? Lets just have every state vote the same day.

That would only get you presidential candidates Steyer and Bloomberg. You’d already have to have hundreds of millions saved up to be able to run a national campaign in a primary like that. Couldn’t work.

That said, I’m all for rotating the order of primary elections every 4 years. No reason why it always needs to be Iowa as far as I can see.

I didn't consider that but not sure a top candidate like Bernie or Biden couldn't compete with those two. Both are polling way behind and at this point I just see Bloomberg giving away his cash to TV networks.

Bernie never would have been able to be a top candidate in the first place if all of the voting in 2016 happened all at once. It took him surprising in a few states early on to get momentum etc etc. If it was all at once everyone would have expected Hillary to have won, Hillary would have won, and that’d be the end of it

Alright, I'm convinced. Your idea of rotation is a good one.
