CMV: National Ranked Choice Voting should replace the Electoral College & within congressional races
As my post implies ranked choice voting should be implemented in the United States in place of the electoral college, as well as for congressional races.
It promotes third-parties, as people are more likely to vote for someone, when they know their vote isn't wasted, and ensures they don't end up promoting the "greater of two evils". It gives independents a voice, and gets rid of the electoral college, that gives people of certain states more power than others, while *actually* ensuring that the candidate with *majority* support gets elected. I
In the Senate and the House, it will lead to third parties gaining support and some seats, ultimately leading to multi-party coalitions while ensuring local representation.
Real talk, the timing matters more than people admit which explains why reactions are split Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Reaction: Damn the Elighisl language
Trying to be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled
From the outside, this feels more about execution than intent which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Looking at this, the follow-through is what will decide this which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just how it reads to me.

Real talk, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which explains why reactions are split That part stands out.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that friction is hard to ignore Interested to see the follow-up.
this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what changes the context. We’ll see how people react over time. That’s the impression it gives me.
At first glance, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

From a practical angle, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s where it gets complicated That part stands out. We’ll see how people react over time.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s the impression it gives me.
Looking at this, this solves one problem while creating another That’s just my read on it.

Looking at this, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.
If you zoom out, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
From where I sit, this solves one problem while creating another which makes the reaction pretty predictable Let’s see what happens next.
At first glance, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where it gets complicated

I get the idea, this feels like a half-step, not a full move That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here.

From a practical angle, this solves one problem while creating another so the response doesn’t surprise me Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.

Bluntly speaking, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what changes the context. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Putting bias aside, the way this is presented changes how it lands which explains why reactions are split That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me.

Trying to be fair, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome
