At our first Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) this term, we passed several of his reform planks which actually took power from the chair and gave it back to activists. He also formally added neutrality to the org, kept superdelegates banned over objection, and shifted more dollars to state parties.

It is true that there was a panel discussion on RCV over breakfast before the last DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) meeting. But the big obstacle is not party rules, it’s state laws - most of our primaries are run by states, and most states do not use RCV. bsky.app/profile/andr...
I was at this breakfast and meeting and am the biggest RCV guy you’ll meet, but I don’t want people to get their hopes up about this being in place nationally for 2028.
A vast majority of Presidential primaries are run by states that don’t use RCV. You gotta change state laws.

Democratic politicians and activists are quietly lobbying to upend the way the party picks its presidential nominee by urging the use of ranked-choice voting.

It’s not really a party rules issue, it’s a state legislative one. If we want to implement RCV nationally for our presidential primary, we’ve got to flip a lot of legislative chambers and pass a lot of legislation. Changing the party rules comparatively is a speed bump. bsky.app/profile/andr...

It would be awesome, but we would have to pass a lot of legislation to get there. The biggest barrier by far here is not a party rules vote (though I would be a very easy yes vote there), it’s that most primaries are run by states that don’t use RCV. bsky.app/profile/andr...

It’s ultimately a state legislative issue, not a party rules one. Most of our primaries are run by states, and most states don’t use RCV. I would be one of the easy yes votes on committee, but that’s not the big obstacle unfortunately.

Kind of torn because I’m so bad at picking favorites, but my go to answer is usually whichever of The Colour Out Of Space, The Dunwich Horror, and At the Mountains of Madness. Each is a good self contained story with a glimpse of the bigger cosmos, and all have that scientific inquiry bend to them.
