    In theory ranked-choice voting should moderate positions; however, we all know the GOP will just keep nominating the most loathsome morons it can find and some will win somehow.

    I look forward to the first Congress Critter who speaks solely in tongues and handles live snakes on the House floor.

      Ranked choice voting has a "center squeeze" effect where centrists can more easily eat shit than in fptp. Not only is this favorable to lefties / underdogs, the mechanism by which is happens is hilarious

        I am not aware of an argument against ranked choice voting that isn't also just an argument against democratic appointment

        Ranked-choice voting presumes rational choices are being made by the majority of voters over time.

        Lol...
