Yeah, I agree with them. Ranked Choice voting is extremely confusing. First you have to rank the candidates in the order you prefer to win, then…oh wait, no. It’s really not confusing at all.

So they think we're too dumb to understand...I shouldn't be this angry before bed. I hope they can hear how fucking prejudice they sound.

This is about protecting establishment career politicians, not about what voters want and not about what they are capable of understanding.

Estblishment corporate dems 🤝 All elected republicans:

Disenfranchising the American people in the name of job security.

Damnit democrats all I want from you is voting reform and then we can move onto better parties.

Although I guess this is them realizing that and not wanting to let go.

DNC loves calling poor people too stupid to help themselves. Insane that they don't get called out more on this.

Why would only Black Neighborhoods be confused by this? Elaborate.... No go ahead, be my guest, you brought it up, now tell me.

Goddamnit democrats. This is some republican shit.

using racist dog whistles to protect shit policies for the entrenched benefactors of said shit policies.

The system will fight to prevent systemic changes that weaken the system.

This is the same, tired argument Sarah Palin and other Republicans made here in Alaska when it didn't go their way. How stupid do you think voters are? If they're that easily confused, maybe do a better job at educating them, in say, a classroom when they're young. Maybe bring back Civics classes.

Oh no, poor people are too dumb to know that the only right choice is the corporate democrat! They might want people who represent their interest and not just some guy who will uphold the status quo!

The more I think about it this is a brilliant strategy for democrats to establish ranked choice nationally. Nothing gets a republican harder then something the democrats don't want. And if I've learned anything if conservatives want something it is all but inevitable.

"Someone could get the most votes, and not win!" McCarthy said at the time.. "So if you come in 3rd, you win. What? 'I got a lot of second votes, I got a lot of 3rd vote — what does that mean?'"

I don't think it's the "Black areas" that are getting confused about how it works. Or perhaps he's just pretending to not understand? 🤔🤔

If the dems actually cared about the voters, their primaries wouldnt be rigged.

Don't patronize your own voters. Not a good idea.

Ranked choice voting is like the little brother of March Madness brackets, and plenty of people take part in that every year.

This is entirely about wanting to force strategic voting so as to not lose power for the mainstream within their own party.

When you can win under an unrepresentative voting system even good people will feel compelled to hood onto that.

What a terrible excuse too, if you think someone is ignorant then enlighten them. Teach voting systems to the public.

What is confusing about, " pick your favorite, pick your second favorite"? You think if you asked them the same question about ice cream, they would be confused? Also, you don't HAVE to pick more than one. My understanding is that if you vote for an eliminated candidate, then your 2nd choice will be used on the next round. But they don't even need to know that to pick their favorite ice cream. It seems good for democracy? Someone let me know why it isn't.

Remember: Democrats are just as dependent on FPTP for power as republicans

I find it interesting that politicians never seem to make this argument about taxes.

See, this is the sort of shit folks are talking about when they say both parties are the same.

yea i like to make up complete bullshit all the time

Surely they were misquo-

Nope that's what they said. Yikes.

If it's actually confusing then put in the effort to explain it better. But I seriously doubt it would confuse people.

Sounds like a racist excuse from people who want to keep their power.

Well well well if it isn't the hard bigotry of no expectations

Cool that's not racist at all

Of course they do, an the Republicans as well.

They don't want to give up their power to some random amazing third party. They want to keep the power between the 2 of them.
