Genderless Rodent 🏳️⚧️28 июл., 18:18I will never understand the reluctance of people to attempt to understand the basics of how our new voting system works.
Fischer 🛠️🚇28 июл., 18:19I do enjoy that it’s the ranked choice haters being undermined by their unwillingness to learn about it
Connor he/they28 июл., 19:29I also hate this question. There are three progressives to rank in D4, but the question “do we rank Zimmerman or Clark to keep out Arnold?” will haunt me until forever* *November
Genderless Rodent 🏳️⚧️28 июл., 19:33I feel like the math on ranked choice voting makes this less of a choice one needs to make, but I might be wrong on that. But I really hope I'm not.
thelistener28 июл., 21:44I haven’t noticed much difference between Clark and Zimmerman but I’m willing to learn. Is Arnold worse than both of them? Thank you.
Genderless Rodent 🏳️⚧️28 июл., 22:09I couldn't tell you any time they've voted differently on major issues off the top of my head. Eli does appear to be worse, though to what extent is hard to describe.
Justin28 июл., 22:19Clark and Zimmerman are strategic and effective. Clark gets less attention by keeping her mouth shut. Eli's politics appear to be further right than theirs, and he'd more or less be serving as a direct conduit for Schmautz and crew, though he's not the thinker either Clark or Zimmerman is
Genderless Rodent 🏳️⚧️28 июл., 22:35That's...honestly really surprising given how he acts and what values he expresses
Nathan Williams28 июл., 19:49Clark will almost certainly make the top 3 without extra strategic voting.
Connor he/they28 июл., 19:35That’s how I feel too, but I am definitely susceptible to being afraid of a bad outcome.
really? in front of my FIFA Peace Prize?!28 июл., 22:45Arnold is bad enough I'd rather deal with the transexterminationist weasels we have in Zimmerman and Clark, which should tell you something. There is also that Eli has refused to answer easy softball questions like "should gay people have basic rights" plus the cop thing.
kmachiz28 июл., 19:38Only if there are less than 6 better candidates. There is really no point to thinking about gaming the system we have in place other than entertainment value.
Fischer 🛠️🚇28 июл., 20:04yes. zimmerman’s lead over arnold was small enough for reallocated progressive votes to matter after green hit the 25% threshold
Jeremy Beausoleil Smith28 июл., 20:58I’d like to see a deeper conversation on the strategy of exhausted ballots. It is possible that it may be better to only rank the progressive candidates in District 4. Ranking anyone we do not support seems counterintuitive to getting progressives elected.
Fischer 🛠️🚇28 июл., 21:12with only three progressives who’ve hit any kind of viable fundraising threshold I don’t see the argument for leaving zimmerman off your ballot IF you have a genuine preference between him and arnold. just rank him below the candidates you actually like
Jeremy Beausoleil Smith28 июл., 20:51We have 3 good progressive candidates in District 4 and we should not rank candidates that we don’t support electing to office. This is an excerpt from the City of Portland FAQ page on Ranked Choice Voting:
Phil Kast28 июл., 22:57also vote strategy is fun for extreme high info bsky observers. But it doesn't fit on a lawn sign, and DONT RANK ZIMMERMAN / DONT RANK ARNOLD does.
Phil Kast28 июл., 22:56Well I don't live in D4. But I listened to his anti-Kanal rant at the beginning of the year and simply would not rank him after that.
