Reply to comment by nucleosome in Controller Rebecca Rhynhart to resign today and launch run for mayor by jberk988

I’m all for ranked choice, but getting rid of the appeal to emotion is not one of the benefits. It’s just easier to tear down your opponent with some fearmongering than it is to make a cogent and articulate policy argument in a 30 second tv spot. And with even shorter ads on YouTube, it’s just getting worse.

Ranked choice would completely change the political landscape. Candidates would have to appeal to half of the electorate to get elected.
