There's a famous business phrase: "the only way to make money is bundling and unbundling."

We need an unbundling process in politics. I'm not sure how to solve this system wide, but on an individual level, I think that it starts with unbundling political parties from our identity.

Someone recently asked me "how are you friends with Trump voters?" (I live outside DC). My answer: "simple, I don't have a strong political identity and neither do my friends."

I think the tribal partisanship that has emerged over the last two centuries has shifted the emphasis away from issues and more towards conflict for fundraising's sake.

Toward that end ranked choice voting seems to mitigate that problem. What do you think about ranked choice voting?
