I think this is true for a lot of things. iPhones, Nike, Spam

Hoarding is hoarding

Politicians say a lot of things

But then they wouldn’t have anything to scare you into voting for them with

Yeah it’s just people trying to show how big their penis is with a car

At least they’re consistent

Wow uptight crowd

Does Citroen make SUV’s now? They must be smoooooooth

Haha because it’s from aliexpress. I think it’s a great idea though. You can haul things. Don’t need roads. Looks cool. Good for the environment

Tell me more

i’ve thought about that for high performance vehicles, but probably more important for very large vehicles. like a B/C license.

damn, i would have expected the french to have better taste in their vehicles

Americans just love being the biggest on the road. Bigger is better in their minds. Maybe we put an extra tax on very large vehicles.

Yup. Y’all had it for a while.

That’s awesome! What city? What was the process for getting it on the ballot and what helped getting it passed?

To assume that all of the progress people are making towards RCV is without thought is incredibly ignorant. Lots of resources you can research to understand the benefits, how it works, and case studies for where it’s working now.

If you don’t support RCV for some reason, just say that. You have to criticize those who are working towards something that’s actually benefiting voters.

You can sit around and wait for electoral reform, but change happens in baby steps. You don’t just jump to a constitutional amendment if nobody can get behind something like RCV.

Wasn’t trying to address your points because they’re just speculation. We’ve never had RCV nationwide for federal elections so can’t say how it would affect the way people vote. I don’t think the 2 party ruling system goes away with RCV, but it’s a step towards making politics more equitable. There are only benefits to giving voters more options. It’s not that “it can’t hurt”. It’s that it will benefit voters.

How does RCV discriminate? Which demographics?

Any voting system is prone to errors and any change will have growing pains. Doesn’t mean you don’t move forward. People need a way to vote for who they want, not who they don’t want. RCV is one solution. Doesn’t impede on any others.

If Star has traction in your city I say go for it! RCV just seems to have the most momentum.

Reforming the electoral college is definitely needed as well, but a much longer runway since it likely requires a constitutional amendment. You can implement RCV without forgoing electoral college reform or abolition. No single change will fix it all, but RCV is beneficial in moving towards democracy and has a lot of momentum already.

I think after people learn and get used to RCV (and when older generations die), their voting styles will change. No more voting solely out of fear. It also requires the major (wealthy) candidates to align more to the smaller (less wealthy) candidates. There’s really no reason to be against it. In some states they offer both styles of ballots so you can just vote for one person if you’d like. The only downside is that it can be confusing to new people.
