@chad @Azih On #CBCRadio #TheCurrent this morning, they claim that the #UCP won many ridings with very narrow pluralities ("1300 votes would have made the difference") but that they beat the NDP in popular vote by a much larger margin. #ProportionalRepresentation might not have given the result you desire.

You should also consider what the results would have been with #PreferentialVoting .

So apparently you win an argument against a so-called #Democrat on a CloudFlare'd instance with the following, which caused them to delete the entire thread:

*We preface with we* don't do twoPartyPolitics *and for a country that espouses democratic values* the US *needs* #preferentialVoting.

With that said, Trump did try to not to instigate war against Russia, and before the *second, garbage, sensationalised, #impeachment fiasco* he even showed interest in investigating what was happening in Ukraine.

Also *Trump* did put #Afganistan *withdrawal* on the agenda. (remainder uncorrected)

THE MAGIC of #PreferentialVoting.

Australia has preferential voting so a person can make their #vote transfer to another candidate at FULL VALUE.

We just tallied quotas of minor parties that were good enough to be placed ahead of #majorParties and Greens.

The quota was exceeded in EVERY state!

So if everyone who voted for quality #minorParties numbered as many quality parties as they could, we'd have 12 #independent minorParty #Senate member in parliment.

Your preferences matter!

Australia's Identify and Disrupt Bill is an attack on the people. It allows #police to hack you without adequate protections.

Use #flightMode to #protest.

It was hurriedly voted into legislation by the two #majorParties on 25 Aug. This coming election put the #majorParties dead last — not just last of the minimum, six votes.

I oppose this move by the #DougFord ministry to eliminate ranked ballots in municipal elections.

Among other reasons, it would be unfair for me to insist that #ElectoralReform be tested in local government before considering it at a provincial or federal level, and then favour banning it for municipalities.

If only #JillStein received over 5% of the vote four years ago - you'd have been able to vote for her this time around.

The #USA needs #rankChoiceVoting, asap. Without #preferentialVoting your corporate giants will continue to have your country eating out of their dirty hands.

#JulianAssange's big mistake in 2016 may have been that he expected #America to thank him for exposing corruption.

Perhaps he didn't realise how dementing the two-party system is in America.

Instead of celebrating his #leaks and coming out in droves to give #JillStein more than 5% - US voters simply doubled down on deranged ideas of #Russia and #Putin controlling everything.

Today, the level of polarisation has not changed - proof that the US needs #preferentialVoting (aka #rankChoiceVoting).

@schestowitz
A good quote by #RalphNader. If only he had won. The answer is #preferentialVoting or #rankChoiceVoting.

There are other more #extreme options, like carving up big #countries into smaller ones. Much like the #Fediverse, in fact.

@strypey
They are insidious. The #fauxLeft in the US also vicerally despise third party candidates like #JillStein because they think he Dems are a valid choice still, and due to a lack of a #preferentialVoting system (aka #rankChoiceVoting) they attack the true left alternatives.

The US is on the decline though. Their #neoliberal model has failed - it's just a matter of time now.
