I phrased that badly. I meant that they may choose to vote for only their favorite, as tactical voting. It says they don't approve of any other, to send a message.
But it's not clear they will feel the message is sent if their candidate loses, and they are stuck with least favorite choice because they didn't select an alternative.
- eru 2y agoSo they _should_ vote tactically, and only send the message when it doesn't hurt them.
- ClayShentrup 2y agotactical voting is normally what we call it when you DON'T vote for your favorite, e.g. a green party supporter votes democrat. with approval voting they'd obviously vote for green too. some of the people who normally vote green under the current system might _still_ only vote green with approval voting, but very few would do it unless green actually had a chance to win. https://www.rangevoting.org/BulletVoting https://www.rangevoting.org/BulletVoting
