“As Tom often stated while he was running for Chair, unpaid internships limit the diversity of our talent pipeline, the opportunities available to young Democrats, and the future of our party as a whole,” wrote DNC spokesperson Michael Tyler in a statement to Payday. “The current intern program was started before the current leadership was in place, but as we build our team, we’re exploring every possible means for paid internships.”

didja hear that, guys? they're exploring every possible means to not be slavemasters violating the dept. of labor standards.

France's system is basically California's jungle primary, so it's insanely stupid

if you want a system where a single person is elected to represent a specific geographic constituency, ranked choice/instant runoff is one of the better ways to do it, but that single-member concept has the notable flaw that if you happen to be ideologically opposed to your elected representative, then no one in government answers to you

we have france's system in some places, like ca or la. run-offs aren't great because they create a burden for the voter to vote twice and they don't eliminate the spoiler effect - in a wide field, the top 2 might end up being two undesirable candidates (i.e. two people who sneak by with 20% each but aren't liked by most voters) ranked choice alleviates this flaw by letting people instantly transfer their vote to their second favorite candidate if the first is too unpopular

Instant runoff/Ranked choice voting

You basically choose who you want to vote for in a ranked manner. In each round in the instant runoff the person with least votes gets eliminated and each of that candidate's voters next choice gets their votes. Then after someone reaches 50% or after a few rounds it ends. Prevents the spoiler effect, but it's still First Past the Post.

The goal is to not only give voters a more accurate way of choosing a candidate, but will also encourage more positive campaigns as you won't want to forsake one candidate with negative campaigning lest you offend their voters (unless they're a demographic that the candidate won't overlap with)


There are some flaws because it's First Past the post, but it's better than the current implementation of FPTP

More than just the 2nd candidate!
As long as there are enough candidates there can be no fewer than 6 rankings.
