Simplicity tends to sell better than complexity, and RCV is the one that’s known of already.
Agreed. And that’s why I think approval is such a big improvement over ranked choice.
“Tell us who you approve of, candidate with the most approval wins”
Is a hell of a lot simpler than
“Rank every candidate without ranking multiple as the same level, then we check if any candidate has a 50% majority, if not, the lowest candidate gets booted and the next wave of second choices comes in, repeat until there is 50% majority.”
And that’s before the peripheral benefits.
So far they’ve been more than happy to ignore everything except the status quo, unfortunately.
Agreed. It’s honestly sad.
My city/state has been warming up to these kinds of talks and candidates at least, which gives me a glimmer of hope. But for now it is not enough.
I go to star trek for hope, and 40k for a very fucked up form of “hope” that involves a lot of masochism.
