    1. Instead of thinking of #RCV as just a tool for electing people to offices, we should also consider it as a way for legislatures to vote on legislation. It would help clarify a lot of the policy debates going on around now.

    There are big differences between people who have the following preference orders WRT the stimulus checks amounts: Me, most Dems: 1. $2k 2. $600 3. $0 Trump, some "burn-it-all-down" style progressives: 1. $2k 2. $0 3. $600 Centrists: 1. $600 2. $0 3. $2k GOP: 1. $0 2. $600 3. $2k

        Unfortunately, without #RCV, many of these positions get lumped together with each other and you end up arguing with people who you actually agree with, at least partially. The same thing can also be seen with the #M4A/#ForceTheVote debate.

          ...which is actually multiple separate debates being conflated, all of which could have their own separate options being presented as a slate of #RCV options. Don't have time to get into that now, though...
