IMO - RCV increases the power of voters while decreasing the power of the 2 major parties. With "first past the post" voters only get to choose between lesser of 2 evils.
Reading the discussion here. I'd never heard of xmpp. Probably just never registered as a messaging alternative. Just checked out https://xmpp.org/. Wow! Tons of apps. Even some android apps on fdroid. Guess I've got some exploring to do.
Right, IMO First Past The Post being good enough has led to more partisanship, extremism and polarization. It has increased the power of money and decreased the power of We the People.
