We really need ranked choice voting, or something similar… Democrats will always be my strategic vote, but they’ll pretty much never be the first ranked vote from me.
Has to be RCV for me. In STAR voting optimizing your voting power means only picking one candidate, or your second picks could spoil you first choice. In STAR when voting for the underdog, Id never so much as rank another candidate because it would mathematically soften my vote.
At least you realize it, unlike a lot of people who sat out this last election and got us into this mess.
