Ranked voting is dumb and terrible

Date: June 25th, 2025 10:41 AM Author: Violent public bath cuck If there were a viable third party it wouldn't be a waste of your vote to vote for them. The reason third parties feel like a waste is that they have almost zero popularity. It's their views that suck. Only one in a hundred people actually like them. But you want to feel special so you can rank Lander number one but Zohan two so you can lose on the first ballot but you're voting a second time to block Cuomo? How about you grow the fuck up and vote your conscience and too bad so sad your candidate woefully unpopular and it's on you to decide whether to throw your vote award or not. Third partymos cannot accept that no one wants them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5743084&forum_id=2#49048456) |

it's just absurd to think that some normgroid ape is "rationally" doing a "ranked choice" of 5 different people lmao |
|
Date: June 25th, 2025 10:58 AM Author: Violent public bath cuck What it is is it's voting twice. You're voting for someone you know isn't going to win but you're saying wait wait, I deserve a second chance here. I knew my buddy was only going to get ten votes. But it was REALLY heckin important that I express my voice. Anyway back in reality I'd rather have this guy than the other guy.
It's so needy to give libs two votes but they must have their do-over Mulligan vote after they've got their super important feelings off their chest. |
|
Date: June 25th, 2025 10:55 AM Author: Charismatic coral international law enforcement agency principal's office It seems to me that ranked voting will go away naturally with time. How far off are we from the candidate who gets all of his die hard supporters to only vote for him and refuse to rank vote other candidates? At that point the strongest coalition will win and ranked voting will die. Alternatively, it will never die because voters are cucky and don’t know what they want. |

Date: June 25th, 2025 10:57 AM Author: Walnut range ? If somebody has strong enough support that people ranking only him makes a difference, then that's no different between him having a lot of 1's and then those ballots have 2-5's that will never matter anyway. What IRV prevents is a third party vanity faggot from siphoning 10% of the vote from the candidate closer to them. Some of those might vote for only their guy anyway, but that's no different than throwing the vote away in a FPTP system. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5743084&forum_id=2#49048494) |

Date: June 26th, 2025 11:32 AM Author: Violent public bath cuck You're insane. I have zero thoughts about NYC. This shut really started to bother me when it happened in Alaska. You have no clue and you're just making shit up. I only talked about NYC because other people did. My main issue with Alaska was it felt like no one ever dropped out. Without a primary it seemed like the candidates were running against each other forever. The general election sucked because you had two Republicans and a Democrat and I the the Dem won narrowly because of ranked choice which is why LTM thinks he loves this plan. I think the R would have won if there had been a primary but the two Rs went scorched Earth and so some of the Rs put D as their second choice instead of going for the other guy. Now maybe the outcome would have been the same if there were only two candidates on the final ballot instead of three, we'll never know. But I would have much preferred that one of the Rs get eliminated in the primary that way the general election could have been one on one. I think the R candidate should have been given the runway to combat the D opponent solo rather than have to run against a D and another R. I just don't like the whole system because it creates too much intraparty fighting instead of settling business up front and focusing on one candidate and bringing people together. LTM think MAGA kooks would be done forever if there were ranked vote generals because all the fence sitters could vote for a moderate neocon and then D second. This is an absurd system and it sucks.
