We currently vote with the first-past-the-post plurality voting system.

A shift is occurring not just in the Kennedy Center, but in the way our politicians interact with art and culture at large. Already, we can see the ways in which conservative media — mainly through podcasts and sports — have influenced swaths of young adults.
