Speaking personally, I am happy to see this change. As a longtime supporter of alternative voting systems, I am glad to see the 'new guard' agree and take steps toward it. I even trust them to do it honorably [generally]. I love that the new guard is more economic and future focused. Its great that we see some break from the neoliberal norm.
Of course instant gratification would be nice. But I'm not complaining. And -personally- I haven't seen others complain it's too slow and booooo im a misanthrope.
I think it's better to phrase these opinions as questions, not accusations. Like: "3rd party revolutionary types: what do you think of these? Do you like them?". I guarantee you can't put us all in a box.
I'm not sure it would help, because they fundamentally still have a very harmful idea that encourages voter apathy and hurts people.
