Approval still disincentivizes third parties. If you're the tie breaking vote(which is the only time your vote actually matters) your incentive is to vote only for the candidate you most support.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoIn terms of strategic voting, if you are okay with 2 candidates in a close 3+ candidate race, refusing to vote for one of them in favor of the other risks the candidate you don't prefer winning the election. I think your idea about being the tiebreaker is a little reductive, since it really assumes you are choosing between 1 of n candidates you like, and that the other candidates are known to be losers.
