MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘<a href="https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@br00t4c</a> In countries with a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Parliamentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parliamentary</a> form of gov't, they have no primaries, no two-party system, no spoilers and elections take weeks instead of years.We can do the same thing here simply by switching to "<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a>" (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCV</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IRV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRV</a>).

No more 2-party system. Greatly mitigates the influence of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BigMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigMoney</a> in politics. No more lengthy/costly Primaries.It needs to be the law Nationally, but ten Red states have actually OUTLAWED <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCV</a>/#IRV completely. You don't have to guess why. 😡

It:1) Ends the 2-Party system.2) No more spoilers.3) It *greatly* mitigates the influence of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BigMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigMoney</a> in politics thanks to shorter & less intense campaigns.4) Elections become less "confrontational" (fewer attack ads) as candidates strive to be voter's *second* choice as well as first. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InstantRunoffVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoffVoting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCV</a>

MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘<a href="https://mastodon.social/@tofugolem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tofugolem</a> The quickest/easiest way to "get the money out of politics" is to simply adopt <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IRV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRV</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InstantRunoffVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoffVoting</a> for ALL elections.This would totally eliminate the most costly part of running for office: "<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Primaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Primaries</a>" (followed by Runoffs.) No primaries also greatly shortens the time spent running for office, and the time spent by candidates fundraising. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCV</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElectionReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectionReform</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CitizensUnited" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CitizensUnited</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congress</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#money</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/@BernieSanders" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BernieSanders</a>

Aquarius OtterIn a country like the US, even the promise of <a href="https://queer.party/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a> and maybe top-two+ voting is incomplete without at least a partial return to <a href="https://queer.party/tags/FusionVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FusionVoting</a>. <a href="https://queer.party/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCV</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/IRV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRV</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/InstantRunoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoff</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/InstantRunoffVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoffVoting</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/TopTwoPrimary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TopTwoPrimary</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/FairVote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FairVote</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/RankedChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoice</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/ElectoralFusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectoralFusion</a>

MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘(Porting my bookmarks):The benefits of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCV</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IRV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRV</a> are manifold:1) No more (expensive/lengthy) Primaries. 2) No more spoilers. Winner always receives at least 50%+ of the vote. 3) No more 2-Party system. 4) GREATLY mitigates the influence of big money in politics. 5) Would make political debates/ads "nicer" as candidates try not to offend so they are at least someone's 2nd choice. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InstantRunoffVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoffVoting</a>
