so you talked about the benefits, if you fair vote why not discuss the negatives. Is that because your afraid too talk about those? you should educate people not lead them to a decision

I believe in a party list system.

fwd with Andrew Yang

Stop paying retirement and benefits to these people.

The Fair Voiting method is synonymous with Proportional voting found in Europe & some other countries. See my comment on Ranked Choice Voting aka Non Partisan Primaries. 50% of us are now Independents & the Republican party is trying to steal our voice.

What about STV? What about party list?

Mmh, I still think "normal" proportional representation is better. In this system you still end up with only one candidate, and that means that some people might never see their #1 choice elected. It's better than FPTP though.

If the babykilling anti-Christian Nazis don't win by cheating in the first round there's always the second and then the third.

The more choice the better

👎🏾

RCV is bad for democracy.

Can't wait to read the book!

And it seems like an iron-clad opinion poll. I can pick a minor candidate who exactly shares my viewpoint as choice #1. And that shows up in the officially counted results as what one voter really wants. And everyone who might agree with me sees how close we are to actually winning. And all the strategists see how many votes are out there for a given point of view. This would be way better than polling companies calling the 200 people who still have landlines, or however the heck it's done these days.

Would this TRIPLE the size of Congress?

You are awesome and smart! Being against RCV is non American. It’s the only way to get the corrupt greed demons out of our democracy. Period.

Ranked Choice causes more problems than it solves. Studies in New York, Minneapolis, and Oakland show 2% to 10% more spoiled ballots in poor precincts than rich precincts.

While I support the voting method....I don't like the idea of tripling the salaries pensions of elected officials.

If only John Cleese spent more time these days making the cases for things like this and getting big money out of politics than whinging about young people and parroting bullshit "culture war" narratives on GBeebies (what we call that dumpster fire that is GB News).

This video needs updating to suit us now in 2024.

What they are leaving out and what few people realize but what Congress itself published is that the house is run by one person, the Speaker of the House. The Senate is run by one person, the Senate Majority Leader. Those two pick the with a majority by their party on each committee, the committee chairs, the bills heard in the committees, And tell their party members how to vote. In other words, three people run our government, the president and those two. And they are told what to do by a political party who elected them, who in turn are controlled by the ultra wealthy political elite who fund the parties and the candidates. That is the root cause of the political divide and of most of our political problems, including the national debt. That is masked by everything they are talking about. There is only one solution that is practical, nonpartisan, and solves the root cause of control by the political parties and those who control them by changing two government processes to create the first realistic, scalable, direct democracy. Parts of it have been used around the world with great success in eliminating political division and producing better results.

Sounds like a good idea to me. We can also increase the number of seats in Congress. "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand. . ." -US Constitution (article 1 section 2) P.S. I didn't get it at first, but now I understand why some people prefer STAR voting to regular ranked choice voting. Mr. Beat's video "What's the best way to vote?" is worth watching.

This is just common sense. The political tribalism will just lead to more dysfunction and authoritarianism until we fix this problem.

Vote Kennedy if you want change! Thank you FairVote for promoting these very important policies. 🙏🫶

Ranked choice is so dumb

Federal Ranked Choice Voting is the next step. When the Independent party wins this election for the first time in American History, Kennedy-Shanahan will undoubtedly move quickly towards implementing this system to guarantee the future of our Democratic Republic for future generations of We the People. Long live the US Constitution and our great Nation.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard. Talk about election manipulation.

Considering RFK Jr.'s conspiracy nonsense, I'm not too concerned about him affecting Biden. Trump's got issues, however, as he's also a product of blind conspiracy fanatics.

If the democrats would have allowed a primary to happen then this wouldn’t be an issue at all. The people who scream loudest about protecting democracy are the same ones not giving their own constituents the chance to choose their own candidate. And are attempting to jail their opponents candidate. The elites in this country have interests in the people’s input. Just shut up and vote for who they pick.

What Democracy? America is a REPUBLIC.

Why not try eenie-meenie-minie-MO

I can mail in 50 times?

Don't fall for the two party system's fear tactics. Voting independent or third party is a nessesary protest vote.

RFK Jr is going to spoil it for both Trump and Slow Joe. He is going to WIN!

Sounds like a new way to interfere with elections

the solution is to vote for RFK

Ya, this is a Republic not a Democracy.

Lolol the latest dem voter interference technique

Fairvote is doing God's work

We need this so badly 🙌🏻🙌🏻

This is incorrect - what is the difference with what we have now each district is made up of by a certain number of people. If you enlarge the district and have multiple representatives it breaks down to the same number of representatives Example if each district has 100,000 people with one representative. Then you enlarge the district to 600,000 with 6 representatives it’s still the same number of people The difference the people will not have one person to go to for help but multiple and end up getting no help. My town board is at large with 4 representatives you can complain or ask for help and nothing gets down. Towns with wards you have one representative and you can go to them for help. If they are bad at their job you can vote them out. With multiple representatives you never get rid of the bad apples. Rank choice voting is a better way to elect people to the office Fair districts it’s done already in many county, state and federal districts. 🤦🏻🤦🏻 unfortunately not all areas have it. We just need to implement it across the country for all positions As for contacting my representative I will tell them vote NO just for the reasons of enlarging districts with more representatives. It’s the dumbest part of this bill remove it and then it will pass

hell yeah. lets abolish the supreme court while we’re at it.

Great info!

No not more politicians less politicians that have accountability.

We don’t need more people. We need stuff done.

These two should brand together more often since they are supporting the same movement.

What happens if a party gets lets say 10 electorate seats but gets 0 party votes. Wouldn't that overshoot the 120 seats in the parliament?

Do we forget that we live in a democratic republic? Yes, a republic not a democracy. Our founding fathers gave us this gift. I will say for RCV that it is intriguing, but I am still reading and searching for the best way to choose our representatives.

Important to know as we start using the method in our elections.
