Right....And if a strong libertarian helped split up the vote, to the point that the (R) didn't get 50%, it's very likely that the (D) would be handed the election, as most libertarians I know of don't support republicans at all, for reasons that are all too obvious today.Or the people of Maine are simply more like left than right, and their values are better reflected in RCV. A libertarian in Texas would be 2nd every single time if voters were allowed to express it via a vote. Otherwise, we can never tell what voters really value. It's binary.
Read the thread Einstein.Do you have an explanation of how it's a scam?
Straw man.Or is it "just because"?
Dood.mkay
Nope.That's exactly what RCV would accomplish.
Nonsense.The parties would still be around, but people wouldn't be cowed by the lesser-of-two-evils threat.
^ Co-thread win.Not many people realize this.
And all his party has to "fix" this are half measures, nibbling on the margins, and pipe dreams about impossibilities (like lifer politicians willingly voting to shorten their careers).
That can be fixed. Limit a runoff to 3 or 4 candidates.I get it....Flood the ballot with schmendrick jobbers who have no chance to win (probably funded by one or both of the majors), then kneecap the real winner because they didn't crack 50%, then hand the election over to the loser, because they got more 2nd or 3rd place votes
No room for shenanigans there......newp!
The mere act of casting a vote for a 2nd choice is the essence of the LO2E mindset.....A crying shame that dblack can't me made to realize this.Nope.
Nonsense.
Baseless nonsense actually...
The irony!!!!I think that many of them are. But I don't think ideology is a function of intelligence. They're mutually exclusive. Seriously, I look at ideology as more of an affliction. It can warp the perceptions, thought processes and behaviors of perfectly decent and intelligent people.
Though runoffs are less odious, they're still an invitation to jiggery-pokery....Look at what happened in Georgia.That can be fixed. Limit a runoff to 3 or 4 candidates.
It doesn't split up the vote at all. It simply allows more that an binary choice to better express the will of the people.Right....And if a strong libertarian helped split up the vote, to the point that the (R) didn't get 50%, it's very likely that the (D) would be handed the election, as most libertarians I know of don't support republicans at all, for reasons that are all too obvious today.
I thought be voted for deranged conservative/kleptocratic puppet Biden...?Pipe down, cultist. You voted for the most radical, extreme leftist administration in American history. Our current food, fuel, and housing prices are your fault. Not to mention the state of the border, and the war in Europe your president started.
Correct, it isn't accurate. I responded in post 5, and I tried to keep it real, real simple.
Not that it matters for you folks. You're going believe whatever your universe dictates.
Right now, normal SS eligibility starts at 67.5. It should be moved to 70.Full retirement is already age 70.
Social Security eligibility is 63 years, which should be increased to 65.
"I will repeal and replace Obamacare."Great big statist faggot with list, with no real concrete answers about how they expect from Point A to Point B.
When you say normal SS eligibility starts at 67.5, do you mean full benefits are earned by waiting until 67.5? Because I can start drawing at 62 if I choose. Just at a reduced amount. Which would also affect my wife's draw when she became eligible.Right now, normal SS eligibility starts at 67.5. It should be moved to 70.
Screw that. I retired at 61.We are living longer, we should be working longer.
Is that a bad thing?And thanks to Trump, Obamacare is now immortal.
Right now, normal SS eligibility starts at 67.5. It should be moved to 70.
We are living longer, we should be working longer.
You really have no idea what you are talking about. RCV would be a significant blow to the stifling dominance of the two party shitshow. Voters would be able to vote for the candidates they truly believed in, as their first choice, without the fear that it might "help" some other candidate who terrifies them. That lame assed excuse goes away entirely with ranked choice voting.No, they'll just be confused as fuck, and the ruling class (primarily leftists) will swoop in to feast on the carcass.
Exactly.Or the people of Maine are simply more like left than right, and their values are better reflected in RCV. A libertarian in Texas would be 2nd every single time if voters were allowed to express it via a vote. Otherwise, we can never tell what voters really value. It's binary.
How exactly!? That literally can't happen under RCV. That's the whole fucking point.Right....And if a strong libertarian helped split up the vote, to the point that the (R) didn't get 50%, it's very likely that the (D) would be handed the election, as most libertarians I know of don't support republicans at all, for reasons that are all too obvious today.
