      Replacing First-past-the-post voting will allow the people to elect a better conservative party then the republican or democrats. It would even end the disenfranchisement of those not represented by the two party system.

      Who could possibly be against that? Republicans? Of course! But how about the democratic party? Do they support democracy? If history can help predict rhe future, the answer is “fuck no, fuck you, vote how I want or else”.

      Feeling free yet?

        Alternative vote

        Ranked Choice voting

        Why are these presented as different systems? The Alternative Vote is just another name for Instant Runoff Voting. And ranked choice voting is a name for a whole class of systems which includes IRV, as well as Single Transferable Vote and some others not linked here, but in practice someone who says “ranked choice voting” usually means IRV, and it’s IRV that the video describes.
