Starting to wonder how much good for democracy could be done in the U.S. by just launching an open, nation-wide alternative primary, using ranked-choice voting.
I see some problems with network effects + likely sampling error + difficulty with verifying millions of votes in one night These seem solvable with sufficient money + publicity though

Also all good reasons to make it non-binding, at least at first. Like, I'm *very* worried about all the should-surely-now-be-well-discussed downsides of electronic voting. On the other hand: it's a primary. And the bar to be _better than_ what we're replacing is just _so_ low.

oh yeah for sure, its definitely worth a shot
