I don't think that's realistic in a democracy unfortunately. It'll always come down to who you like better, but not who you actually like. Even countries with popular vote parliamentary systems don't have the luxury of voting for people they like.

I feel ya. All we can do is try to keep our loved ones and each other safe and improve our lives.

If that's all we can do why did we even bother coming down out of the trees?

If we had sane voting, like STAR, we would be able to express such a preference without wasting a vote we need to cast against the worse choice.

Has that worked well where it's been implemented?
