      DC democrats do not represent Democrats nationally, but if you find that compelling, far more local Democratic groups support it:

      • Alameda County (CA) Democratic Party
      • California Democratic Party
      • Colorado Democratic Party
      • Maine Democratic Party
      • Massachusetts Democratic Party
      • Minneapolis, MN DFL Party
      • Progressive Democrats of America
      • Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles
      • San Francisco (CA) Democratic Party

      Compare which cities and states have implemented RCV in the US, (mostly blue,) and which states have outright banned its use (mostly red.)

      Democrats did a big push for RCV in 2019, and while the Biden administration hasn’t weighed in yet, the Obama administration he served in supported it.

        The committee coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party candidates throughout the country for local, state, and national office Source.

        Not to say that a grassroots movement can’t enact RCV. But as we saw with Bernie, the establishment will not give up power easily.
