Still shopping for one when I make the switch. Mint looked pretty user friendly.

On a side note, Ranked Choice specifically is only slightly better than FPTP compared to say Ranked Robin, STAR, or Score voting. I believe we should push for one of these other three alternatives to prevent uncommon instances where the least liked candidate still can win.

A lemmitor shared This link to me that goes over the shortcomings of Ranked Choice voting. Still better then FPTP, but we can do more.

It was so sad that the democrats couldn’t even bring themselves to lie to us about Gaza. Maybe they didn’t think trump was worth the effort to stop.

I think in biden’s first election the “didn’t vote” category was beaten.

Be unarmed if you wish, but don’t choose for other people how they defend themselves.

The Democrats will not defend us, the justice system will not defend us. We are on our own.

Care to explain why people are stuck on the sidelines without a viable political party to represent their interests?

one correct choice

Pick one.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection." - mlk jr

First Past The Post voting is a horrible concept.

I will direct you to my comment here.

The democrats red line was building a hotel in Gaza. Not genocide.

Change how we vote so we can have more then two political parties. As we can all see, a two party system is just one party away from a one party state.

And who wouldn’t want more then one chance to defeat the republicans?

I see you understand the faults of the First-past-the-post voting system. Did you know that we can change how we vote at the state level?

That means blue states can easily avoid the situation you are describing by passing electoral reform. We don’t need need to wait for a hail Mary from congress to work out, we can do this right now. In fact, some states have already passed electoral reform.

Totally possible, there should be no excuses to keep things as they are. Democrats are self proclaimed defenders of democracy. Of course they would want people to vote how they want freely… right?

You seem very concerned with the spoiler effect, so I’ll leave you some videos on our current voting system and alternatives we can choose from. Because who could understand the flaws of the voting system and not want to fix it? So that people can vote how they wish in a democracy without a spoiler effect.

Who indeed.

Hasn’t it been replaced in Maine and alaska?

First-past-the-post voting helps the GOP. That’s why they are passing legislation to protect it on states they control.

So why are blue states still using it?

Your state should pass electoral reform and get rid of First-past-the-post voting so republicans can’t do that then!

How the solution became “vote for my person even if they don’t represent you” and not “hey this voting system is broken and republicans are exploiting it. Lets fix it.” Is beyond all reason.

I’m not even a smart person, and i can see the solution. What is your state’s excuse?

Make sides less relevant and policy more important by replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state.

It can be more then one thing.

Republicans aren’t 100% gun ho about trumps recent (and easily foreseen) fuck ups.

If we replace First-past-the-post voting, we could easily see the republican party get replaced with a more reasonable conservative party like the democrats.

Plus, you know, screaming at people unrepresented in government to vote for your preferred political party isn’t actually democracy.

If Alaska can do it, so can your state!
