A thing that never stops being funny to me is that electoral reform is stymied by the fact there are separate camps who want instant-runoff voting, Condorcet ranked voting, and proportional representation, and they don't cooperate. Seriously one of the funniest things to happen in human history. First Past the Post has a plurality of support so it wins every engagement. First Past the Post wins by First Past the Post rules.

And the approval-voting camp— oh, let's not talk about the approval-voting camp

@mcc I maintain, unironically, that I’m fine with *any* of these systems but if I have to rank them, I would put approval voting first.

@avi if I were doing a ranked vote I would rank approval voting above FPTP but if we were doing an approval vote I would not approve approval voting and therein actually lies my objection to approval voting
