approval voting would be absolutely massive in impact, i think far beyond what you're imagining.

that's only true of federal elections, not universally tho.

LOL, it's cardinal (rated) not ordinal (ranked), but yeah.

i know. and my point was, that's irrational. other voters determine the election result YOU have to live with.

that person is STRATEGIC VOTERS, who are about 90% of the electorate. even if you want to vote honestly, you're still subject to the whims of other voters. indeed, practically the …

it doesn't really matter how you define "honest". what matters is how people actually vote. the only really crucial distinction for "honest" versus "strategic" is that "honest" can…

nailed it.

a common fallacy of basic logic. with FPTP, strategic voting means NOT voting for your favorite. so at the very least, you'd "vote for the person you'd normally support under FPTP,…

there's no such thing as "acceptable" or not, there are just utilities and _relative_ satisfaction. you want to get the most satisfaction possible from the options you have. https:…

this is dead simple. thousands of voters have had no problem. https://approval.vote/ if you really want to get into the game theory, here it is. https://www.rangevoting.org/RVstrat…

it's the worst of the commonly discussed alternatives. https://www.rangevoting.org/BayRegsFig
