Our #voting system is broken. Even if all citizens could easily #vote (without the Right's many #VoterSuppression tactics) and meaningfully choose their representatives rather than vice versa (#gerrymandering), there's another fundamental problem:
We're required to choose JUST ONE candidate, and don't get to put anything on the ballot about how great or terrible the others are.
(Much better: #RangeVoting a.k.a. #ScoreVoting. You give every candidate a rating. Highest average wins.
More expressive than ranked choice / IRV; more incentive to vote honestly.)
In our current broken system, anything other than voting for the #Democratic ticket is effectively a vote for the #Republican menace.
someone suggested to make #flag for approval voting so i made one. and then i made one for score voting cuz it's the best ๐.

The #postConsensus reformation continues!
My talks on post-consensus, cooperative decision-making were well received in Scotland ๐ Thanks to those who promoted and came.
I'm glad to be talking again in #London ๐ on the 16th Aug at #Newspeak house https://douginamug.gitlab.io/posts/2018-06-15_coopdecisionsevent/
I will explore why #scoreVoting is a cooperative practice when #consensus can't be reached. Please come or forward to anyone you think might be interested ๐
Hello! Next week I will be talking in #Edinburgh (and the week after in #Glasgow) about post-consensus, cooperative decision-making ๐
I will explore why #scoreVoting is a cooperative practice when #consensus can't be reached
Please come if you can or forward to anyone in central #Scotland you think might be interested ๐

In a couple of weeks I will be talking in #Edinburgh and #Glasgow about post-consensus, cooperative decision-making ๐
I will be looking into why #scoreVoting is a more cooperative practice than #consensus after a group goes past a certain stage and how to do it.
Please forward to anyone people in #Scotland you think might be interested.

Ever been in a meeting where everyone agrees to do something, but then there is a super-long debate about which time it should happen? It kills me every time...
We tried out a basic, hand-written poll which made deciding a time way quicker and kept the meeting running. I whipped up a printable one too: https://nc.matthias-larisch.de/s/2Vf4MasWbREJe5u
@mattcropp @h @jd There is some strong evidence to suggest that there are real limitations to how much we can care: shared #mentalModels, #dunbarNumber and #cognitiveBias.
When we reach the limits of care, the limit of consensus, then #scoreVoting with the options of 'status quo' and 'none of the above' is the most cooperative #decisionMaking framework I've encountered.
