If you’re promoting ideas, it’s on you to explain them clearly - especially with something like voting reform that requires buy -in from the general public. My expertise is in communication - it seems yours is not. You do sound mad, I'll spare you another rant - blocking. Peace be with you.

The problem with many "scientific" approaches is that they work in theory, but don't reflect how people operate in the real world in practice. I like that FairVote talks practice, but I'm not wedded to them. And everyone is advocating for something - there's room for disagreement. Be well!

No - This doesn't disprove my point. In this example, everyone voted for every candidate. This is highly unrealistic - in the Mamdani example folks made it clear to NOT rank Cuomo if you don't want him. You only vote for ppl you support, so the winner still had support from a majority of voters.

Glad you liked it! The thing is that Approval Voting can allow someone to win with less than 50% support, and is vulnerable to strategic voting over sincere voting (approving of more than one person can actually make your vote count less). Here's a handy comparison! fairvote.org/resources/el...
Ranked Choice Voting vs. Approval Voting - FairVote
RCV is the fastest-growing reform, reaching 11 million U.S. voters. Let's compare ranked choice voting (RCV) vs approval voting.
