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.

I'm for it. Our presidential winner-takes-all system severely limits our choices and discourages voter participation.

@badminton Of course you are. It takes votes away from legitimate voters

@Slade how?

@badminton Having ranked choice implemented has stopped a lot of people from bothering to vote here, a situation we don’t need. 😞

@Slade I must disagree. In Ranked choice voting your ballot will give you two or three choices of candidates. If your first choice doesn't win then your vote goes to your 2nd choice, and so on. It seems to me more democratic

@badminton I understand what it’s supposed to do. But I’ve seen what can actually happen. Not a fan.
