In Alaska a couple of years ago we voted to modify our voting: It’s called Ranked Choice Voting We are apparently the second State to do this after Maine, a fine State. I think it was a neat feat of democracy, a modification that was instituted in a democracy in the hope of making that democracy more better. It allowed the election in a single public vote, of a moderate Republcican with both guts and a briain. (And a vagina, FYI).
Since that election, there has been a movement to rescind that method of voting by, of course, the TRMPst right wing. It is presented as too complicated. There was a counter advert that showed kids clearly explaining the system. The succeeding vote just barely confirmed it. There will doubtless be another challenge.
Orwell’s Animal Farm was an attempt to explain some recent history maybe to kids but not ONLY to kids. And to put issues inteo a frame of discussion that would keep things, as Einstein would put it: “As simple as possible, but not simpler.”
