Don, you are unfairly mischaracterizing people who point out an existing problem as just "sitting on their hands and saying "Woe! Woe!". To talk to other people about a problem and articulate it clearly IS one of the things that inspires people to seek change, and that is the purpose of protest songs, protest literature (like Dicken's novels about the appalling social conditions in Victorian England), and public discourse in general.

That aside, I think your suggestion about ranked choice voting is an excellent one. You're right that the established parties won't like it, but it's a reform that is sorely needed, and the more people who hear about it, the better.

We are discussing things not merely to utter "Woe! Woe", but to do the following:

1. Clearly identify the existing problem!
2. Clearly understand it.
3. Make others aware of it so they can understand it.
3. And look for ways to solve it.

The more these things are discussed, the more it will eventually percolate through to many other people, and that's how change is eventually accomplished.
