Are you for or against ranked choice voting? Why?

I am for it. It ultimately presents the least objectionable candidate. I think it would really temper the extremes and possibly even break down limited party systems to free up more electoral choices.

we have a system in australia called
preference voting.
sounds similar. as candidates drop out. they can donate their votes to a 'preferred' candidate.

so essentially. someone ends up with a whole bunch of votes they didn't receive themselves.
its 100% designed to keep tyrants in power.
and why labor just won the federal election with 30% of the vote..

the only way we can change this . is if we get rid of the majority of politicians in canberra all at once . and replace them with ppl who will change the voting rules back to a fair a balanced deal.

i got more chance of shitting sherbert rainbows..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout that seems like it keeps votes within a party system though. I think voters should choose who their vote goes to if their primary drops out, not the person they voted for.
