What are your thoughts on ranked choice voting? 🗳️
And I realize I’m asking a crowd that most likely doesn’t vote 🙃
Discussion
It’s better for expressing preferences than regular voting.
I like the concept, but Arrow's impossibility theorem is a bummer
It’s ok but single district elections are not as good as perportional representation. If you do for some reason need a single winner then you should use condorcet method ranking.
Just watched a video on that one too. Seems some states are now moving to ranked choice.

Seems better than status quo, even if imperfect
right
democracy's vulnerability is when you have nothing at stake and you can vote to have other people's stake transferred to you or away from them
this is how it works in corporate boards, this is how it used to be in the USA originally (only land owners voted) the entire suffragette thing is bullshit because every woman was employed to either be a housewife or looking for such a position, and unless she actually owned property and ran a business any vote from a woman is not tempered by the problem of what she may lose, she is only motivated to vote by what she can gain or what she can divert to her favourite cause
I've been wanting ranked choice voting for years. Let me rank a set of 6 candidates. That way none of the candidates can become complacent for being the only candidate on a particular side.
Seems better than what we in the US are using now. Worth a try. 🤷🏼
