2 months agoGetting rid of FPTP is a priority, and I’ll support just about any reasonable alternative. But I never understood why Ranked Choice was pushed over Approval.
Approval is easier to understand, which fixes the main criticism of Ranked Choice. It’s also more immune to the spoiler effect.
True, the complexity argument is usually given in bad faith. But I’ve seen even people who advocate RCV get confused about how the rounds work and how this affects the voting strategy.
