NYC. You wanted ranked choice elections despite my warnings.. - vision63 - 07-02-2021 Now ya got it. Election day was on the 22nd of June. Lordy. Re: NYC. You wanted ranked choice elections despite my warnings.. - RgrF - 07-02-2021 If you don't want something to work and you're in charge of the levers of government charged with making it work, guess what - it won't work. Cambridge, Mass, one of the least corrupt city governments around, has made it work for over 50 years. Re: NYC.

Fallacy of composition – assuming that something true of part of a whole must also be true of the whole. Re: NYC.

Rome wasn't built, etc. Re: NYC. You wanted ranked choice elections despite my warnings.. - vision63 - 07-02-2021 DeusxMac wrote: That's like saying Inglewood has made it work for 50 years. C'mon man. Fallacy of composition – assuming that something true of part of a whole must also be true of the whole. They're two cities of the same size. Inglewood and Cambridge are pipsqueaks with just over 100,000 people each. Ranked choice just a ploy to allow marginal candidates an avenue to negotiate their way to a potential victory. Candidates form alliances and make deals to steer their constituencies. It's not a straight vote. A democracy means the majority wins the first time. Not some round-robin tennis match. Re: NYC.

But they effed it up anyway in NYC. Couldn't wait to do it. Our unfair "open" primaries in California are a whole other ridiculous system designed to uplift the unpopular. It hardly ever works. They're popularly known as "Jungle Primaries." Everybody is afraid of people simply voting. Re: NYC.
