I’m confused as to why you’re a third party voter who is against ranked choice though
in the system we have where we vote for people to take positions of power, i will vote for the person who i want to win that. if i have a chance to change this system, we will be eliminating positions of power. i don’t care to change how our masters are chosen: man need not be ruled.
Then why vote at all? Why would you want Jill Stein holding power over you? Dismissing the only chance you have to actually vote for a person you want to win seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. But it’s becoming more and more apparent that you live to troll, so I guess that follows.

if i have the opportunity to advocate for a differenty system of choosing masters or advocating for a system with no masters, every minute i spend advocating for the different system with masters is a minute i’m not working toward the system i actually want.

it takes literally no effort and i like to do it. in an ideal world, i don’t want jill stein or anyone else to hold power. so long as this system exists, i’m not sure i want anyone else, but i’m honestly torn between her and cornel west right now.
I’m against spending my time advocating for it because I don’t think it’s a solution to the problems. I’m no more opposed to it than the current system.
But it would let you get the person you actually want to win to have a chance while also preventing the worst party in your eyes from winning.
I would absolutely pick West first and Biden second, third, or whatever depending on the candidates if we had that system, but in the current system I’m not voting for anyone other than the 2 parties that actually have a chance of winning because the only way you’d get that 3rd party to win is if somehow you convinced the entire country to ditch the idea of voting Democrat all at the same time, and even then the 3rd party would be the new Democrats that absofuckinglutley will have corpo scum “invade” and corrupt. They will go where the power is, they have no party.
Ranked choice allows us to see the scum and choose a better candidate, hoping others see the same.
Thats perfectly fine, it’s your vote! If we ever get a vote for ranked choice just don’t sit that one out! That will allow you to vote your conscience and still have a chance :)

Don’t bother this dude literally spends all day spamming political threads with garbage on Lemmy.
His username is literally commie. Don’t have to look much further
this is just a personal attack
It’s not wrong though
this is just more name-calling.

But you’re against rank choice voting (wasn’t sure, but the person above said you were)?

I would not pick biden at all.

you see how I would not like ranked choice, right? I would be compelled to vote for people who I think should not have the position.
