lol … lmao even
Huh. I never really put that much thought into STAR and just sort of blandly agreed when people said that it was better than Instant Runoff because idk… it sounded aesthetically cooler? lol. brain very simple. I continued to support Instant Runoff instead mostly because it seemed more achievable due to momentum., I never really thought of the material difference between them like that. Thanks for this post.
The more I’ve learned about it, the more I’ve been convinced that China’s Whole Process People’s Democracy is the current world benchmark for democratic control of a state. Voting in candidates should just be one action in a constant process of polling the people for what they want or need and implementing those things, and if that system is comprehensive enough then the specific voting system you use for representatives is almost an irrelevant detail.
