 I spent over 10 years at the Central Intelligence Agency, so I often see a lot of the challenges the country faces through a national security frame. And this is one of them. I look at the country, and I look at the political polarization that we're experiencing that's not my own assessment. Pew has this great data that they've collected over decades that show our parties moving towards extremes, ideologically, or at least away from each other, and yes towards those extremes. And the more that happens, the harder it becomes for us to govern ourselves. We're in this grand experiment of self-governance, but we're failing to govern ourselves. You think about it, I mean the world is so dynamic now, whether it's, you know, it's changes in industry, it's changes in climate, it's the way, changes in the way we communicate with each other, the way information flows, opportunities and risks that are associated with that. We live in a very dynamic world right now, and so, especially now, we've got to be able to, we've got to have a functioning government, but we don't pass budgets, we don't appropriate appropriately, we don't have solutions for infrastructure issues, healthcare, information warfare threats, you know, so many other things, climate, you know, I look at that and I see a national security threat that we are, we're failing to govern ourselves because our parties are so divided and our adversaries abroad are seeing this and exploiting that, opportunistic politicians doing the same, exploiting our divisions, and the net result is we can't govern ourselves, and that gives rise to, I fear, even more extreme leaders that will come to power, capitalizing, exploiting those divisions and that lack of effective governance, and so, I'm one that just believes that we've got to change the incentives that shape the way our leaders lead, and my view is that ranked choice voting is one of a couple of reforms that I think offer the best opportunity to change those incentives so that leaders are more incentivized to find common ground with their rivals, to demonstrate that common ground, to build on that common ground.
