      Arthur Chu Retweeted Alyosha

      It is worth pointing out that the degree of "democracy" we've built into our party nomination system is in fact an outlier globally and a weird thing about the American system (one partly enabled by this being a huge country with 50 states)https://twitter.com/fabianfantasist/status/1293940067421978624 …

      You lucky fucks get to choose a goddamn Presidential nominee through a robust primary system. Americans are such babies about their democracy. https://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1293883587960373250 …

      I don't think people really realize this, that other countries we see as having a more functional party system than ours are ones where "leadership contests" go by much faster in which campaigning for rank-and-file votes matters a lot less

      My hot take is that - looking at the Republican side more than the Democratic side - 2016 may have been evidence that turning the nomination process into a popular democracy circus may have been a very bad idea

          But it's very hard to walk it back after you've made a system a popular democracy, to go back to smoke-filled rooms

          Anyway I find it ironic and amusing that this year the Green Party electorate exploded in anger over their primary process was "rigged", as though this is a meaningful thing to fight about when you're a tiny symbolic third party

          I mean I think we should get some sort of ranked choice voting going on and also have all the primaries on the same day, and see if that improves things, but it's not up to me

          i've seen some analysis from 2016 ranked choice polling that showed a rcv 2016 R primary being really close between cruz/rubio/trump. the system may have corrupted the will of the voters but the will of the voters was already pretty messed up

          Ranked Choice Voting would solve so many issues. #RCV

          If you have a disfunctional party, those systems do make it worse, yes. (see the last 4 years of the UK LP for another example)
