On top of that, it's clearly something each individual would prefer. If I don't get my first choice, I'd rather have my vote go to my second choice than essentially no one.
I know you're being downvoted, but I agree with your assessment re: concern trolling. The position seems disingenuous.
- jacobr1 4y agoThe general points is valid one, I don't think it was disingenuous (though I agree it is probably mistaken). The broader concerns is legitimacy. It is more important that there be a general acceptance of the election results, and peaceful transition of power, than the results themselves be optimally fair. That said, there is no reason we can't have both and plenty of jurisdictions do have fairer systems without collapsing in civil war. But we should lose sight of fact that gaining buy-in from the populace at large is one of the factors required for successful democratic-governance.
