Harm reduction is fine, but faced with a view going that way, why not use ranked choice. First choice might be I've cream, but if you can't do that, perhaps going somewhere else works.
love ranked choice! harm reduction in the meantime cuz if it’s gonna be a bit of time to get that running :)
Flashbacks to when I lived in the UK and so much misinformation in the (failed) referendum to get it there.
Made me realize: Consider the average voter and then consider explaining the merits of different voting systems to them. It'll never happen.
It happened in Maine. And Alaska. And is on track in Nevada.
Democrats pushed through RCV in all these states and North Carolina, before Republicans repealed it. If you want RCV, if you want the option of a viable third choice, you need to vote Democrat in the meantime.
