This was a Trudeau campaign promise in his first e******n. He reneged on it.

When I challenged the Liberal local candidate during next e******n campaign he the told me that it would would give to much power to a fringe faction because of our system of minority governments and non confidence v**es that result in snap e******ns. BS.

The major city I used to live in uses it. Our municipal e******ns are not party affiliated, officially.

RascalReally?, Ranked Choice V****g is just another way that Democrats have to commit v**e f***d. It goes right along with stuffing the b****t box at 2am and programming b****t tabulaters to add v**es to Democrat candidates and take them away from Republican candidates.

Independents and those do not adhere to the party line down b****t choices might favour might Ranked Choice V****g.

It is better representation of the general population.

It offers less control for party machinery.

Wrong on both counts. Read the articles so you won’t look so stupid.

That is your opinion and it is one opinion, written with negative spin. It is not a stupid idea.

The idea would not have been around for so long if the basic idea did not have some merit.

American Vet

BS. It is a terribly stupid idea. The idea of murder has been around a long time -so do you think it ‘has merit’?

Maybe Santa will bring you some common sense and intelligence.

Well I know where you stand on the scale of intelligent answers and civil discourse.

You never fail to disappoint me.

American Vet

Of course you just know things. Part of your psychiatric problem.

Seek professional help.

Frankly, ranked choice is much better then what we have. I read these opinion pieces and they don't know what the hell they are talking about. It works. Yes, we might not have what a majority want. But what the majority wants might really be h**ed by a minority. And the minority might be just as h**ed as the majority. But they both could live a lot better with number two. The country or district might all function a lot better with number two that a real super majority at least don't h**e. As we have it now, both sides h**e each other and their ideas and opinions so much that nothing gets done to the satisfaction of the people. Then throw in the equivalent of none of the above or below in the case of ranked choice and we have real choices. Throw the bastards out and elect a candidate that might not be first choice of 51%, but someone who was a second choice or third choice enough to be a consensus candidate we can live with and work with. Think biden and Trump. Would you biden v**ers rather have a JFK Jr then Trump. Or would you Trump v**ers rather have JFK Jr rather then biden. A second place candidate would be a hell of a lot better then either extreme to most people.

Alaska's rank choice v****g in 2022 gave us RINO Lisa Murkowski again. Are you ok with that result?

If I had just that choice, I would probably v**e RFK Jr. against Biden. From what I've seen on the news, he has some good ideas. I'd have to read up on him. I haven't because I doubt he has a chance. Perhaps, I should do more reading up, huh?
