The Electoral College is important because it ensures the President of the United States is selected by the constitutional majority.

Why the Electoral College Matters More than than the Popular Vote . The issue of winning the popular vote and losing the electoral college is fraught with uninformed debate. Our country has always been a state to state compact. It's embedded in our name: United States of America. -

ha, right, yeah....
I'll break my rule here and say this:
When a thread leads off asking for your opinion on a topic, normally you give your opinion. That can include a link or video, but hopefully the poster would add something of their own. At the very least they wouldn't just post a video listing both the pro's and con's... as that would make no sense...
Maybe you were being dense on purpose, or maybe I could be more clear... here - what are your thoughts on ranked choice voting? It seems to have a lot of positives and I can't think of a compelling reason not to go to it. What are your thoughts?

Well, I didn't really see enough on the video push my opinion very far over the center.
Then again, if it means so much to you as that you would get upset over that then there must be something fucked up about it. ?

It sounds like something a 2nd place guy would like…
both sides could benefit but it still is a hokey gimmick
-
liberals always want to change everything, even if it has zero affect, or change for the worse.
that way, they can feel good about owning the change.
I take it as a challenge to getting rid of the electoral college,
not a solution to any problem.

Here's another overview oh, apparently from someone who supports the new system.
-
Any arguments here against it?
Seems like a pretty simple way to make a more fair election, reduce the impact of "dark" money, etc etc.
Some states have already implemented this system

Seems like it would only work with four candidates but of course then you're almost back to square one. It could help eliminate a fringe candidate from siphoning votes from an opponent.
And in response to Vapor, it certainly would not have eluminated one penny of dark money.

Definitely not for the general election of the POTUS.
However, it can be subject to debate for state and local elections because it doesn't appear to be another scheme aimed to benefit demonrats ...as does eliminating the Electoral College, requiring no voter ID, and allowing illegals, sixteen yr. olds, and felons vote.

At the presidential level we seem to be in a cycle of people picking the lesser of two evils. You don't like either main candidate, but you really don't like one, and you want your vote to matter, so you vote for the other. Ranked Choice Voting at least allows other options than the main two parties to be viable. People that would prefer a third party candidate can now vote for that person, and if they don't win, their second choice can still be the candidate they least dislike of the main two.
Anything that allows us to move away from our broken two party system is a positive in my book. And in doing that I think it makes the elections more fair for all candidates running as they'd actually have a shot. Not to mention there is a growing share of independents in the country. It also eliminates the need for a bunch of runoff elections but that would be up to the state.
If the number of viable candidates is higher it at least spreads around the funding and theoretically reduces the impact. If it isn't just funding candidate A to bear candidate B, there are now viable C, D, etc, then pushing in funds to beat a certain candidate is less obvious. I mean it'll still be there, we'll still have lobbyists, we'll still have corruption... but it's a step in the right direction.
Idk I'm just not hearing any great reason not to do it. I think any movement away from a two party system is a good one.

Everyone would, but they really don't seem to have any motivation to do so.
The campaign is about why the other person is bad. Why their policies are bad. Attack ad after attack ad.
Throw in other parties, other viable candidates, and now you're not campaigning on just the other candidate being bad, you now need to campaign on how you are the best option.
It also helps certain people's votes matter more. Because with the current system, if you're in a solid blue or red state, it really doesn't matter at all
