    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

          I wonder if there is a mental illness that defines those who don't believe in anything, won't learn anything,

          and demand that everything has to be different.

          still won't make them feel good about themselves.

          that might be woodpecker on the right, sure.

                      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?

                        hey, senile old man, I said nothing about the electoral college (but you gotta love your sources regardless)

                        you can do ranked choice voting and still keep the (broken) electoral college as it is

                          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

                                  How does it make the election more fair? How does it reduce the impact of "dark" money?

                                    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.

                                      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.

                                      hey, senile old man, I said nothing about the electoral college (but you gotta love your sources regardless)

                                      you can do ranked choice voting and still keep the (broken) electoral college as it is

                                        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.

                                          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. ?

                                          What is the "center" position here?
