There's no discussion/persuasion. That's a crock. It's several hundred people grouped together playing individually on their phones. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 12:01 2
- Then why not (I'm gonna say it Iowa!!!!) have a primary? -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 12:08 1
  - *shrug* Would make more sense to me. But... TRADITION! - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 12:09
It’s basically ranked choice voting + time. - spamlet Feb 22, 11:59 5
- I do not have an issue with ranked choice, in theory. - ty97 Feb 22, 12:00 4
  - I wish I remembered who did the show on the Irish elections. It may have been TAL. - spamlet Feb 22, 12:03
  - Ranked choice has a tendency towards the squishy middle choice. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 12:02 2
    - But I think that's likely a better indicator of overall viability. Especially when you have this many candidates. Bernie is going to lead in - pmb Feb 22, 14:31
    - I was guessing this, which is where my reservation lies I guess. I don't know that you always want that person -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 12:07
