- i support ranked choice voting/STAR voting. and you should too!

but i swear by this point, we know. we are aware. the same point doesn’t need to be spammed every 3 comments. if it was as easy to overcome as copypasting the same four paragraphs every post, we’d have thrown off this oppression by now.
this wouldn’t be a problem if the spam wasn’t inserted into the most irrelevant of spaces. people are dying, their rights are being stripped. and yes, RCV would help this but politics is about working within the confines of current reality, not a hypothetical scenario where we fixed things 6 years ago.
just cool it with the spam. engage with each other as humans, not concepts to be dealt with.
We are in this darkest timeline. I was speaking to an older family member who lives in Alaska where RCV exists and she kept saying that it wasn't a fair system because "they just change your vote to someone you didn't vote for."
