We are in a decisive moment in history

Support ranked choice voting, and strategic voting becomes a thing of the past, allowing for greater variety of political representation.

Except Ranked Choice doesn't actually fix anything, and in fact can make things worse.

RCV is the only voting system designed that fails the monotonicity criterion.

What that means is that ranking a candidate higher on your ballot can cause them to lose.

Which is insane, and a deal breaker, and not the only massive flaw with the system.

A lot of it stems from the fact that RCV is, at its core, a series of First Past the Post elections on a single ballot.

You cannot fix the problems with First Past the Post by just iterating First Past the Post.

No, the only way to actually fix things is to ditch Ordinal voting in favor of Cardinal voting.

www.equal.vote is a good source for more in depth analysis of actual fixes.
Agreed. First-past-the-post voting system has to go.
So vote green or PSL. Got it.

I am a socialist and a vote for De La Cruz is a vote for Trump. Mathematics will never allow a third party to win in this country. Don't let our ideals open the door for a fascist. Vote Kamala, and then try and get a socialist into office during the next democratic primary.

I can tell you're not a socialist

EDIT: because a socialist would understand class enough to know the democrats will never allow a socialist to gain power through their ranks
- I can tell you're not a realist.
  
  EDIT: because a realist would understand the current political landscape enough to know the republicans will never allow a fair election if given the means to prevent it

If you'll take time to read things for the first time in your incredibly short 'life' you might notice this post has nothing to do with greens nor Republicans nor democrats.
- Same third party "let's get Republicans elected" vibe, two weeks before an election that decides if a Fascist gets elected.

If you vote for the candidate who mathematically cannot win, over the candidate advocating for an immediate cease fire and two state solution, then you are only helping the candidate who has said the only thing Israel is doing wrong is not killing people fast enough.

I like everything about their platform except this;

cut the U.S. military budget by 90%, seize the 100 largest corporations

I just cannot get behind that. I could see breaking up monopolies, taxing medium and large corporations way more, but seizing, nah.

All corporations should be eliminated or owned by the government, with only owner operator businesses being unowned by the government.

Quite frankly profit motive is the most destructive force in human history, eliminating it should be the number one priority for any human wanting to continue humanity.
It's the coolest part of her platform.
Seizing the 100 biggest companies seems like a good way for the government to end up running a lot of things it doesn't actually want to be responsible for running, and by extension end up just running those things directly into the ground or selling them off to be privatized again

There are things I think make a compelling argument for seizing, but not based on size, that seems like an awful idea. I live in NC, where there's one company that provides power giving them a local monopoly. Also they love fracking. Duke Energy can go suck a dick. THAT kind of situation makes a strong case for seizing private entities and making them publicly funded infrastructure. Also taxpayers have funded so much internet infrastructure that we never actually got, that should probably also be national infrastructure 😅

I love Claudia De la Cruz!
