Non D or R here: I'm the prisoner.

I'm losing.

You all suck.

I'm not even in the same prison, I'm a Brit, and I strongly agree with this. I actually get to vote in a non-FPTP election as well and, surprise surprise, it produces much better results.

Really? San Francisco ended up with a relatively unknown hack as District Attorney due to a ranked choice system.

Seems like just trade one problem for another.

By definition, the "relatively unknown hack" in question was preferred to all the alternatives by the majority of the voters, so what's the problem?

If the "problem" is "people actually have to pay attention to their governance", then...?

Huh? That’s true either way.

The issue with the ranked choice was the rules, the runoff resulted in some random person with fewer votes winning.

Chesa Boudin isn't a hack.
