The other thing brilliant about the NYC mayor race is that all the same characters are on the ballot again in November. So it's like what was the point? We got faggy ranked voting but technically no one was actually eliminated? So we get to rank vote them again? Liberals really do hate life and themselves.

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.

democracy sucks, but at the very least you have to give normgroids a maximum of 2 candidates, or a yes/no choice on something

it's just absurd to think that some normgroid ape is "rationally" doing a "ranked choice" of 5 different people lmao

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.

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.

? 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.

I don't like ranked choice voting because suppose someone ranks 8 no-chance faggot third party candidates, then the Dem 9th and the Republican 10th. Their 9th place choice is going to count just as much as a normal person's 1st place choice.

A round robin playoff is better than single elimination because you get a total ranking of competitors instead of letting a bad one slip through by the luck of the draw. So by your own admission ranked choice voting is better than plurality voting.

right that's why the final 4 teams in every sport each play each other once and are awarded points for winning and the team with the highest points total is crowned champion.

Like how do we really know that the Knicks were not the best team in the NBA? They didn't even get to play the Thunder and the Timberwolves.

Wow! You're so smart!
