What if Canadians used the Popular Vote system? [OC]

it does not help with a 2 party system. that is why this is a con job. this helps to deal with multiparty systems where there's a lot of splitting of the vote by parties that comprise of people with the same agenda. it helps in the primaries where you have more than 2 candidates as well.

however, the con, is in the fact that the system the US republicans are implementing will divide the electoral college votes rather than giving them all to the winner of the presidential election at the state level. by tricking liberal states into implementing this system they are getting conservative electoral college votes that they never would have gotten in the first place. all the while conservative states are conveniently not converting to this system. so conservative states still get the winner takes all electoral college votes while liberal states are having their electoral college votes split up.

this has nothing to do with the rank choice voting process. the conservatives are just doing whatever they want and just labeling it "rank choice" to confuse the people.
