s for center-squeezing, that's not really a problem in the US as a

Third parties are too small and scattered.

MO: Ok, so David is saying that IRV is adequate adequate only in a
two-party system.

dlw: David is saying,


Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change [two-party
dominated system in US]

and the courage to change the things I can change [rallying support of
others around American forms of PR + IRV]

and the wisdom to tell the difference between a dysfunctional
two-party system and one that would "work".
