We studied it in Canada, including how it was used in Australia, and it was the only electoral systems out of all the ones listed that actually widened the gap between voter intention and seat distribution from FPTP.
In most contexts, we're mostly talking about Single-Winner elections.
In the context of electoral systems, "Congress" and "Senate" are multi-seat legislatures. Hence the talk about proportional representation, IE how many Americans vote Democrat vs how many Democrats get elected. Without that discussion you'll never get a 3rd party elected.
Really bugs me how americans talk about "ranked choice voting" because you guys seem to mean STV, which is a form of proportional representation with multi-member districts.
But in Canada, "ranked ballots" meant IRV, which was basically FPTP with a ranked ballot, and ironically exacerbated the worst parts of FPTP like the trend to a two party system.
Is it just a mirrored/inverted display facing upwards under the windscreen glass?
I used to do that with my old smartphone. It had a "HUD mode" where the whole screen became mirrored, then you just slide the phone to the end of your dash, and boom you've got a google maps HUD.
The share of China’s national income earned by the top 10% of the population has increased from 27% in 1978 to 41% in 2015, nearing the U.S.’s 45% and surpassing France's 32%.
Why is income inequality rising? Are you saying the Chinese working class are enjoying the trickle-down benefits of billionaires getting richer?
Further, you have no proof of the PRC lying about pubkic ownership.
Again, billionaires, and their existence, is proof that the profits are not publicly owned.
Even further, they cannot indefinitely build towards Socialism.
No they can just lie and say "we're in a transitionary phase to socialism" indefinitely while being more repressively capitalist than America could ever dream of.
as firms grow and get folded into the public sector and socialization increases
Again from the same link posted above, the opposite is happening, China is privatizing.
"The state-owned (vs. privately-owned) share of China’s wealth fell from 70% to about 30%"
The presence of structures potentially contradictory to higher stages of Socialism, like banks, stock markets, and billionaires, does not mean they are not progressing towards those higher stages.
So what does then? If income inequality is rising, billionaires are getting richer, public ownership is disappearing, privatization is increasing, then what are you basing this idea that they are "progressing towards those higher stages" on?
Given our prior interactions, I already know you aren't a Marxist, why should anyone trust your evaluation of Marxism?
I'm a socialist. I'm trying to get you to think about your definitions by challenging what you believe with the facts. Like this idea that China is "working towards socialism".
Do you also believe Trump is "working towards Christian values"?
Chinese public to Chinese billionaire: "Can I have some of our public profits?"
Chinese billionaire: "No."
Again, saying they're "public" and actually being publicly owned are two different things. The PRC is just lying. They can be in this "building towards socialism" phase indefinitely while they profit off the labour of the working class.
And a simple observation of their economic makeup will see things that you typically see in capitalist economies, like banks, and stock markets, and billionaires, things that are pretty explicitly the antithesis of Marxism.
China has a capitalist economy, not a socialist one.
It sounds like you've been soaking up Chinese propaganda!
You're like those Christian Americans who truly believe that Trump is promoting "Christian values" despite being as far as you can get from Christian values.
All it takes for socialism is to just wave the flag and talk the talk, but not walk the walk, eh?
Because there's fewer foreign bots trying to make you hate everyone in your country, and fewer social media engagement bots trying to make sure you stay online arguing with someone.
