      Yes, I know it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck. But it is still not a duck!

      He was elected by all the locally based media conducting a counterfactual campaign of manufacturing a violent crime crisis and convincing the people of New York that only a cop or a vigilante could save them.

      Given that it worked and Sliwa is an absolute maniac and a Republican in a New York election, the fascist cop (but I repeat myself) would have won regardless of the type of voting.

      Hopefully the people of New York will be less credulous the next time the billionaire owned media tries to wag the dog, but I doubt it.

      Why do you seem to assume that RCV doesn’t require options that aren’t terrible and an educated electorate?

      It’s not some magical solution to our problems. If the choices are shit, you still end up with shit, it’s just ranked shit.

      Hitler probably would’ve won in a ranked vote as well [at the time]. Nothing about ranked choice guarantees higher quality candidates. I’m sure most don’t telegraph their corruption either, unless they’re named Trump

        Actually, ranked choice voting might’ve been able to delay hitlers election since the KDP and SPD voters probably wouldn’t put the nazi party as their second choice

      Thankfully, with the majority of the US there is no ranked voting. So therefore we only elect the best!
