Well, yes, but I don’t think most people want Biden to be president. Most people are voting for Biden because our election system is shit and he’s the only one likely to beat Trump. If we had ranked choice voting or approval voting (whatever it is called when you choose every candidate you support), we could vote how we want and get someone else we actually liked. Biden ain’t great, he’s just not a dictator wannabe. I don’t know of anyone voting for Biden because that’s who they want. I think a lot of us have the sense that Biden is only running because Trump needs to lose to potentially save us from a dictatorship.
If we did ranked choice we would probably end up with Biden as the milquetoast compromise candidate between Trump and someone who is actually progressive.

So basically the exact same results we have now but with significantly better odds of it improving the impact of our votes?
Sounds like too much effort better not try anything
We should have ranked choice voting, I just don’t expect different results.
If we had ranked choice voting, we could’ve had Bernie as President. He woulda stopped sending isreal weapons in October
Good luck with all that.
If the US goes full fascist, the world will feel it. So you’ll need the luck as well.
Absolutely.
