How would you suggest elections be made “fair for all parties”? Hell, just look at republican primaries or basically all the California recall debates for what happens when you let complete randos use televised debates to advertise their personal brand.

Ranked Choice comes up and, while there are definite concerns over it making the “crazy second choice” candidate too viable, I generally like it.

But also? We already more or less have that. Both major parties (I think also most of the “independent” parties?) have a primary where party members can select the nominee from those running. And, in a lot of cases, that results in the eventual winner shifting to cover some of the runner up’s policies as a concession. And… that basically is the same end result. Because I am not going to pick Biden first, trump second. I am going to pick Biden first, Bernie second, etc. I would theoretically prefer to have unaffiliated voters (or even everyone) be able to engage with those primaries but also understand how that would be abused.

Personally? I am a big supporter of better education on how the government works (and why local and state elections are actually much more important than presidential…), removal of the electoral college, and general efforts to re-enfranchise voters.
