If you don’t have ranked choice voting you do not live in a democracy
Til that only Australians and the Irish live in democracy. It's used in other places, ofc, but on smaller scales.
Not to say I'm against it or anything, I'm all for it, but your statement is a bit exaggerated.
It's not bad to have high standards, as long as they don't get in the way of making things better
Many countries claim to be democracies but if the available choices are only x, y or z. The people are not truly expressing their will, 30% could like x, 30% could like y, they could all hate z but z gets elected because 40% like z.
That’s not democracy.
