    But you’re against rank choice voting (wasn’t sure, but the person above said you were)?

      I’m against spending my time advocating for it because I don’t think it’s a solution to the problems. I’m no more opposed to it than the current system.

        But it would let you get the person you actually want to win to have a chance while also preventing the worst party in your eyes from winning.

        I would absolutely pick West first and Biden second, third, or whatever depending on the candidates if we had that system, but in the current system I’m not voting for anyone other than the 2 parties that actually have a chance of winning because the only way you’d get that 3rd party to win is if somehow you convinced the entire country to ditch the idea of voting Democrat all at the same time, and even then the 3rd party would be the new Democrats that absofuckinglutley will have corpo scum “invade” and corrupt. They will go where the power is, they have no party.

        Ranked choice allows us to see the scum and choose a better candidate, hoping others see the same.

            Thats perfectly fine, it’s your vote! If we ever get a vote for ranked choice just don’t sit that one out! That will allow you to vote your conscience and still have a chance :)

              you see how I would not like ranked choice, right? I would be compelled to vote for people who I think should not have the position.
