1. Ranked choice is scary when you think of how MANY really don't

know enough about the candidates to figure out which ones actually reflect the same general ideology and goals. Or which ones are dingdongs, which are proven competent, which have records of integrity, and which ran on red-flag campaigns of massive lies.

Remembering how in 2020 many here earnestly listed their first and second choices as either (I) Sanders or (often) a mainstream progressive liberal Democrat, of different ranges of experience and places on the liberal spectrum. Including Elizabeth Warren, who was extremely different both ideologicaly and in other very important ways was far more like Biden than Sanders. What we'd be seeing happening, or not, now and the outcomes of their presidencies would have been very different.
