People said this about weed

Weed is not the good argument you think it is lmao. The fact it took decades to legalize and people are still imprisoned over it is a huge L, not a W

Well the point is that lack of 2 party support doesn't mean it won't happen, it just means its a slower, longer push.

Edit: I would also say there's likely less built-in opposition for RCV - even hard conservative states like idaho are fighting ballot initiatives to expand RCV this year. 2 states are voting on it. Only 9 states have banned RCV (vs federal bans for MJ)
