Everybody Sucks Here.

We deserve the freedom to vote for who best represents us, secure in the knowledge that our vote will still be cast against those we don't want in office if our top pick didn't win.

Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to understand why the spoiler effect exists.

Idk why people are down voting you; you're not advocating for voting 3rd party but rather for moving towards a system where we can do so safely.

Down votes are prob mostly from starting with "Everybody Sucks Here"

I don't need to think Biden doesn't suck to admit it's optimal to vote for him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Agreed

It's probably the people who don't give a shit about FPTP but want you to vote 3rd party anyway, for...reasons...definitely not to harm Biden's chances of winning the election because they're foreign agents, not those reasons, other, unspecified, reasons

Interesting... I assumed the down votes were most likely from Biden fans who hate it when people say him and Trump both suck.

And of course both sides of the establishment coin would down vote any hint of a suggestion that we need ranked choice voting

You don't need to be a Biden fan to understand that project 2025 would be one of the most destructive changes in modern history

One party in particular is stifling attempts to change FPTP. So step one is to remove them from office.

Is this different than ranked choice voting?
