neither RFK or Vivek Ramaswamy have a chance

if you would like candidates like that to have a chance, petition your state to allow non party members to vote in primary elections

partisans of any party are a now minority in this country but the growing number of independents dont know it yet and have no representation, while their participation in the primaries would smooth out the candidate selection

in the mean time, fawning over non consensus candidates are a waste of time

it is accurate for there to be frustration over the two predictable candidates because rabid partisans are going to pretend that the rest of the population have a choice (as long as its the "choice" they like)

To add to your suggested voter reforms, implement ranked choice voting instead of first past the post.
