So is oligarchy, the invisible hand, if it ever did exist, clearly no longer does if the market movements are determined by insider information and government bribes, I mean lobbying. Innovation is constantly stifled when that innovation costs rich people potential profit. Stock brokers shut down their consumer apps when those consumers invest in ways they threaten large hedge funds. Capitalists are about as good at following their dogma as Evangelical Christians.

Legally? Prison.

I know I should be used to it by now but it shocks me that there are likely millions of christian conservatives who would yell at you for this, even though this sentiment is literally echoed exactly by Jesus.

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

That verse swings both ways. God isn't counting all your good deeds for the 'least of my brothers', but none of your transgressions against them.

Guess we're about to find out what happens when you take 600,000 economically disparaged people and temporarily lock them up in an understaffed for profit penal institution that is currently in the middle of historically low classes of recruits. Im sure this will make everyone involved a better person.

Fascism is great for any buisness that is already established. These people are already buying off the government, they're not the little guys who could be taken over by a fascist government, they're the ones pulling the strings.

I've long know I wouldn't make a good lawyer because you can't say things like "Listen here you little shit" even when you're right.

Then it's simply not a democracy, yet I still often hear politicians, media pundits, and normal people claim it's the best one. Where does the truth lie?

Imagine If I worked for Kellogs and I hired a guy to follow you and yell about how good corn flakes are every time you look at your phone, every time your TV shows go on a break, and every time you pass a billboard in your car, or a marquee on a building. Even if we assume that person does nothing else illegal somehow, that could easily still be harassment, which is definitely not free speech.

Really cool feeling when your state has primaries long after super Tuesday and the candidates were already mathematically locked in before you get a say. I swear I only get a chance to influence presidential primaries half the time or so. It's strange to watch a 'democracy' keep moving when sometimes your voice doesn't count because of where you're from.

Ads are probably closer to brainwashing than they are to legitimate free speech. Things that are legal can also be problems.

There are troves of leftist literature that detail how liberals would sooner side with fascism peacefully than risk any kind of violence. They're being vindicated by current events globally. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. They will do anything to maintain the order that keeps them as about half of the ruling body of the country.

STAR voting encourages single candidate votes too much if you're voting for the underdog. Lets say it's Biden Trump and Sanders. If I want Bernie, assuming hes the underdog to Biden, I have incentive to not rank Biden at all because if I do he gets points that could push him ahead of Bernie. Its in my best interest to make sure Bernie gets the biggest point differential from my ballot which means only voting for Bernie and no one else.

So for anyone who's going to vote what would be third party, the best they can do is not rank anyone else, defeating the whole point and ensuring what people call the spoiler effect will still exist.

ALL the systems you proposed have problems, not just RCV. You have to pick your poison so to speak.
