Need a reason to get behind ranked choice voting? Just look at who's trying to squash it.
The will of the people should be the law of the land, not dictated by a bunch of clowns with money machines.
Ranked choice for all, now!

@jaykuo How about putting capitalism in a bubble of frugality? Then, start pointing fingers. It's no fun if everyone has to play by the same rules, is it Ted? The ruling class is the ruling class, they're all friends, regardless of party affiliation. The kayfabe is over clown. Ranked choice for all, now!

@7sleepersmusic Polls are hard to take seriously when looking at the sample size, especially combined with the pool they're sampling. Until ranked choice is the law of the land, private interest will always have a way of skewing the numbers.

@gooba42 @kibcol1049 Until there's ranked choice voting we'll continue to be hammered by each swing of the pendulum. It's easy to tell which politicians (D and R) are controlled by the ruling class, they vote against it.
"Ranked choice voting distorts election outcomes and erodes the public trust in election results," said Senator Gavarone. "This disastrous electoral system has no place in Ohio. I'm proud to see Ohio take this important step in maintaining our spot as the leader in election security and integrity." I think by distort she means keep them honest.
The Ranked Choice Voting Act, S.3425, has been introduced and it's not even seeing the light of day. Hmmm, wonder why.

Wisconsin had ranked choice for all of a couple years back in the early 1900s thanks to Fighting Bob, a Progressive Republican, two words you don't see next to each other very often, but the Stalwart Republicans repealed it. A bridge too far.
"The will of the people shall be the law of the land." Instead, we get the will of the parties control the show.

Election Assistance Commission completely gutted just before midterms, to be restocked by, yours truly, Donald J. Frump.
I don't know what's more concerning, decapitating a commission in an effort to make those that believe its more than symbolic go totally berserk, or him converting its role of guidance into one of surveillance.
Wake up, everyone, why do you think Captain Huey wants Hyperscalers to come online so fast? There's nobody left to keep track of the books. Until, after the fact, and then, it's a witch hunt! Kaboom! All the freaks come out of the woods, again, to fight for their Savior.
He's already giving Wisconsin the turn of the screw, doing everything in his power to put his lackey, Tiffany, in charge of the state.

Wrestle the stick away from him only to give it to whom? Beware giving it to a shill all the way on the other side too.
Power to the people, ranked choice for the people, right on!

If American #psyop propagandized #BC actually elects a #populist, #racist, faith based hate government we are truly in for a civil war on the West coast.I rarely believe the polls though, as modern polls are often rigged by Right Wing owned media to push their dream narrative.
These #Populist Conservatives can’t see that the #MapleMAGA wave is breaking in the States and will soon break in #Canada.
I’m done with the prospect of a divisive Conservative government destroying the culture we have built while forcing their Christian ideals on the rest of BC.
If they manage to win by harnessing racial hate and anti lgbtq+ narratives, #BritishColumbia has truly chosen strife over peace, division over unity and populist hysteria over sanity.
Those of us left will respond in kind. Eff these populist, hate driven politicians. Their day in the sun is done, we will not let their cancer of hate destroy our province.
This isn’t about politics anymore, it’s about a culture war supported/created by #American interests, stoked by power hungry, desperate #Conservatives and supported by washed up former #Liberals helping them attain power.
This is what happens when the BC Liberal (United) party just admits they are cosplay Conservatives and line up to stack the deck against the Left.
We now NEED #ProportionalRepresentation or #RankedChoice voting to prevent an inevitable culture war, both Federally and Provincially.
Without it we will continue to fight each other, in turn opening the door to American fascists who will exploit that divide they helped create to further shatter our country’s resolve.
Stay strong BC, I still have hope in a better outcome but am preparing for the worst. Push back the hate or end up wallowing in it.

Also, lobby for Ranked Choice Voting / Instant Runoff Voting (RCV / IRV), and educate folks regarding how it works!It has the potential to break the two-party stranglehold, thus forcing politicians of all stripes to listen more carefully to voters and work harder at serving the public, rather than simply trying to be the lesser of two evils.

This video about varieties of ranked choice voting is fascinating. It was linked by @benroyce not long ago and I only just got to watching it today.
It makes me quite interested in approval voting, but frankly it also makes me think that instant-runoff works as designed and would be a vast improvement over what we've got.
(The video also doesn't talk about the complexity of resolving ties in approval voting, which further makes me want to push for instant runoff - the perfect can be the enemy of the good enough, leaving us with what we've got today - the wholly inadequate.)

@johnzajac I continue to think that we need to use ballot initiatives and lobbying to push for universal ranked choice voting. Those tools remain available to us.
RCV rewards appealing platforms and punishes extremist platforms. Over time people will get so hooked on the results of an actual representative democracy that they will refuse to give it up to appease the oligarchs. There will eventually stop being oligarchs.
The most recent highly-visible example of the power of RCV was the election of Zohran Mamdani, who won because of his platform and despite big money on both sides.
And we should be able to sell this to the rural right-wing too. Choose the zealot who exactly matches your crazy beliefs, whatever they are. And still over time as they come to realize that they're not sick or starving and that their kids have a future, they'll be moving in the direction of government that exists to help everyone. They won't get to universal healthcare or universal basic income as fast as some of us, but they will get there.
Here's one of many analyses out there:
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-future-of-the-instant-runoff-election-reform/
If violence is our only tool, we've already lost. Violence doesn't offer a safeguard that reforms will hold. Only a system that engages the public in a positive way has any hope of bringing about the changes we desperately need.

Between rejecting Flock, city owned and operated fiber and the recent push to get #rankedchoice voting (#RCV) on the ballot, I'm willing to admit I'm jealous of #LongmountCO.
Louisville ran fiber, but out sourced the operation to T-Mobile.

I'm excited to live in a place with ranked-choice / instant runoff voting!
City elections in Saint Paul use that system: https://www.ramseycountymn.gov/residents/elections-voting/voters/prepare-vote/ranked-voting
Next month is a mayoral election. This'll be the first time I've voted this way, and it's delightfully hard -- I know who I want to rank first, but now I need to rank the other candidates. So I need to go off and actually look up what those candidates have said.
(One big concern of mine is the Summit Avenue bike lane project, which I think is important because (1) I live very close to Summit and use it, partly because (2) it's a major east-west bicycle route for the city and needs to be improved.)

#Mamdani!!!!! This is great news for the world.
And how did it happen? Teen agers and 20 something's talking to older relatives and encouraging them to vote in the primary.

All #RankedChoice ballots should include an explicit option of "Not Acceptable", to make it clear that some candidates do not deserve even your fourth or fifth vote.

Proud to have voted 'yes' to make this happen. Rather to have selected yes as my #1 choice.
