Negative. Neither party has interest in voter reform. Voting democrat is not a valid path for this. Of the few things the two parties agree on, not losing the ability to frame a vote around their actual interests is at the top. If they allowed ranked choice voting they would see more Bernie Sanders or much higher support of third party candidates who actually run on progressive issues.

The Democrats outright state their reason to oppose vote reform is that it would “confuse” the voters, and would undermine the parties candidate selection process. Because the party is to choose the candidates, not the constituents. And nothing will get in their way of having a Neo liberal as the only option against authoritarianism.
