Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I don't think I heard about that, is there a source I could read? That's incredibly disheartening, but we shouldn't give up in those states either.

If I recall correctly, the Wikipedia page on RCV has a map
