without ranked-choice voting a third candidate usually does nothing more than to split the majority vote allowing a minority supported candidate to win.
Yes

this is called ["push poll"]( \--its rather a political marketing strategy than a real poll. its set to change public opinions and make them vote for the candidate who is polling high in the push poll.
Yes

voting for the guy or gal who atleast shares some of your ideological positions.

this is democracy though, vote and change it.

it isn't "rigging" to allow black people to vote.

this is all fine and good except for 2 things: 1- nothing has changed ot will for the 2020 election as far as the electronic baloots. 2- the dnc still runs the show. if they dont want bernie for a candidate then guess what's going to happen? yeppers--they will not nominate him. thats why bernie has essentially fucked himself with this election. he is flying under the democratic banner instead of independant. their party means their rules people----same as last time and same as next time. why berners dont know this is beyond me.
Yes

it supports a political system. telling people to do anything having to do with voting is a political statement.

imo this is all just pr for these companies. if they want to make a difference, do it with their mountains of $$. they push for or against legislation when it benefits their bottom line to do so. actions speak louder than words and corporate $$ enacts more change than individual sentiment. if they truly want to support the cause to make voting easier, then i invite them to do so with their money and actions rather than words.
Yes
1
so the argument here is that the state is making it easier for predominantly democratic voters to vote, easing their burden and granting them convenience, without doing so uniformly throughout the state.
Yes

barring major shenanigans on the part of the dnc, the 2020 election is over. trump has it in the bag.
Yes

you say "vote blue" and to a longstanding conservative, that's pretty threatening looking and i understand why. i'm voting blue, yes. so don't worry. but i wish i still lived in a democracy.
Yes

i think we can all agree that the voting process was just a fun way to engage with our favorite characters and they all brought something special to the show. 9 - 9!!

don't vote for just anybody. but vote blue. we don't need another conservative piece of shit in office.

i can't believe he got voted in not long ago, he's so garbage.

this is fucking shit. biden lost my vote next term.
Yes

do these kinds of election finance reform do anything to stop people from out-advertising their opponents simple by being rich in the first place, or benefiting from fake news campaigns like “ontario proud” which overtly bundle together private money from special interests?
Yes
1
really? when you point to the fact that 1 in 10 2016 bernie voters voted for trump in the general, they say that was disillusioned voters looking for a change candidate. so people think those voters would stay with bernie if he is the nominee. i still doubt that will happen.
Yes
1
this is really my point about electoral reform - big ideas with little or no care as to how they would work in practice.
Yes

that's why she didn't get my vote.

this initiated bill provides ranked-choice voting for the offices of united states senator, united states representative to congress, governor, state senator and state representative for elections held on or after january 1, 2018. ranked-choice voting is a method of casting and tabulating votes in which voters rank candidates in order of preference, tabulation proceeds in rounds in which last-place candidates are defeated and the candidate with the most votes in the final round is elected.
Yes

hey, thanks for your response but i wasn’t asking why people are voting for yang. that i completely understand.
No

i say it often, but can't say it enough. get the word out, pester your friends, vote. we need to send a message that is very loud and very clear that america values more than corporate profits. i don't mean to sound overdramatic but this election truly is the most important that i imagine many of us will ever see in our lifetimes.
Yes
1
i voted wrong.
Yes
1
i have literally not said anything against what you are saying. stop being hostile towards people that are on your side. vote blue, duh; but also push for the reform of systems that actively give the fascist side of the country more power. call out the racists and "christian reich" of the country before they burn this county to the ground, cloaked in the flag, holding a cross, and chanting bible verses.
Yes
1
so please vote for her, democrats wont, but you can.
Yes
1
even if this poll is an outlier, it absolutely destroys the narrative that biden is the runaway favorite to win. i honestly have considered him our biggest threat, so that in itself is a win.
Yes

and we let them vote?

100% right. jimmy carter is often overlooked but i find him to be the sterling example of the cincinnatus from the plow, the noblest of men and was a fine president at a terrible time. and hegot shafted on the iranian hostage who released them only when ronald reagan neocon was installed. jimmy carter had put us on a path of energy conservancy and independence but he was the last breath of the liberal democracy. the neocons had been dreaming of the moment and finally advanced their candidate ronald reagan. and it's amazing how people have amnesia about him. he totally fucking ruined the banking system caused its complete collapse with the deregulation of the savings and loans and destroyed the real estate market coast to coast in the united states which the taxpayers ultimately bailed out. a repeat story of republican boom and bust and people forget it. his greatest achievement however was repealing the fairness doctrine and allowing shortly thereafter the founding offox news by murdochand the propaganda arm to spew bullshit as they want in a fake news format. it was his finest achievement. but people in a specially younger are clueless about the larger arc of politics that plays out for 30 40 50 years and get lost in the noise of the personality of the candidate and the hot button issue in front.
Yes

we can't even get electoral reform. this is fantasy.
Yes

why not all of it? personally i feel voting is bit limited. again, this is capitalist society. the more responsible consumers we have, the bigger impact we can have against shady ass corporations. we've been trying your suggestion since the beginning, and it hasn't got us very far, at all. it's time to make stances against stuff that might make our lives a hair more convenient, but will send a stronger message.

- the uk government in england is refusing to allow scotland call another independence referendum because they know they’ll leave now that they’re definitely loosing eu membership. very democratic.

time to get rid of the electoral college.
Yes

no part of the steele dossier was used to bring in mueller. that was 100% because trump fired comey then bragged to the russians that he got rid of him to stop the russia investigation. not the trump investigation, but the fbi investigation into russians election meddling activities.

also, in what way did he win "the majority of america?" the electoral vote? yes, he won that, and yes that is what determines who is president. but he didn't get the majority of voters, he lost the popular vote by 3 million people. not to mention his approval rating among average americans right now is hovering a little bit above 40%.
Yes

hopefully we can force him to resign and win the special election.

that was well said. the are so many things that have gotten to me. lately it's been this idea that only n95's are the only masks that work. although they may be the best, any covering is better than nothing. the world is slowly backing away from trying. i don't want to express hatred, but holding it in is not good either. i've been trying to back away from making cruel comments, but at the end of each day, i know that most naysayers will not learn, and a lot more people are going to get sick and die because of right wing politics. i voted republican my whole life and voted trump into office. all of this shit, the hatred, lying, the selfishness of the party has driven me far left of them. dump lying about the election, his shitty job on fighting the virus etc. they have made a mockery of christianity and democracy. i have become a deist. it has finally become political for me. their war against knowledge, science and reality is insane. the only thing stopping me from opening the floodgate of my opinion is the hca and reddit rules. i will say this in a way that preserves my membership here. if any person hates our democracy, our diverse people, and the general advancement of science, health and freedom, i feel that natural selection (evolution) will take it's course. i don't have to do or say anything, but get popcorn and watch. i will throw in smartass comments as i watch them lose their breath. i will watch their prayer warriors fail. these people may cause the extinction of humanity, but it is nice to see them go before we do. the rest of the creatures on this planet will benefit from that. i will wear my mask, get boosters, and social distance until the virus kills all of us, or science has a breakthrough. i have done something to fight the pandemic. i am the real patriot. lol. i am a liberal. they politicized it, and i have taken my side in this fiasco on mankind.

democratic policy goals poll in everything from "slight majority" to "heavy majority" in terms of american favorability. the issue is that majority preference does not matter in our elections, election rules that restrict or limit voting or voting power do. it's why the gop has been able to hold on to much more power than would be expected given the broad level of non-support for their policy platform- it's not the messaging, it's the rules of the game.

at the end of the day, it boils down to: should you have to pay the state government/courts before you get the right to vote. the 11th circuit said no.

i don't think ranked choice would benefit the us election all that much when the winner takes all system stays. because there aren't enough leftist to win many elections ranked choice voting would probably still mean that your vote goes toward liberals.

Yes

and yet that's what the unionists latch onto for their argument. i suppose the tories can't come outright and say the real reason for no referendum, their incapable of telling the truth. you have proven my point its a trap that either way it suits the unionists.
Yes

dude. the establishment is gonna change their tune about the popular vote and delegates in 3 days. bernie is set to win both by all accounts. he won't get over 50% which leads to a brokered convention, and biden becoming the nominee while receiving less votes. this guarantees a trump win, which it seems the dnc doesn't mind.

the democrat wants to keep this victim mentality going so the black would vote for them because they're telling them nice things while blaming republicans for racisms, and the white people get to show how "not racists" they are just by simply supporting democrats. they're going out of their way to make everything about racism so that they don't have to do anything to get votes. you can't solve a problem that barely exists on a systemic level. and it is the same reason why the hollywood elites and all the establishment love this kind of bullshit coming from the left.

call me naive but this isn’t something i’m afraid of at all. i do believe he could try to retain his office and i do believe he might try to take drastic measures to do so, but if he actually loses the election, at the end of the day, there’s not a damn thing he can do to keep it. the time between november and january will be the most tense months ever, but the second the new president is inevitably sworn in, trump will have effectively lost all power and he’d be dragged out if need be. and there wouldn’t be enough republican politicians willing to commit career suicide to back someone they realistically know to be so crazy and without a chance of winning that fight anyway. unless he manages to pass a constitutional amendment in the next 12 months, he’s going to have to give up that desk if he loses next year.
