The time to have a meaningful vote is in primaries and usually in elections outside the president. Senators and House Reps can advocate for and potentially enact a better voting system. Your state congress might also be a good place to focus if your state isn’t yet in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact - that wouldn’t get us all the way to prop rep or ranked choice but it’d at least get us past the idiocy that is the electoral college.

People keep saying this but nobody I’ve voted for in the primaries has won going all the way back to Kucinich.
I’m beginning to think it doesn’t actually work.
It’s fucking hard to overcome centrist corporate democrats but the number of progressives in office has been creeping up.
This would carry more weight if Democrats had a presidential primary where the nominee wasn’t preordained since 2012.
