Are there any more debates? I really want to see Bloomberg getting dunked on again/Bernie dunking on everyone else.

But they are not voting for delegates, they are voting for presidential delegates.

To clarify: stv transfers excess votes and votes from unviable candidates.

So let's say you are voting for 5 seats in a council and there are 100 voters. So it's 20 votes per seat. So first thing you do is transfer the votes of everyone who got MORE than 20 votes to their second option. After you get through all the excess votes, you start to eliminate all those who are last, until you get 5 candidates with exactly 20 votes.

In a caucus you don't do the first part, because the excess votes matter. I.e., you get 35 votes you keep those. In a caucus you only do the "transfer from those below viability" part. I.e., the same as ranked choice.

Yeah but functionally there isn't much difference between '35 votes for he gets two delegate,' and '35 votes for Bernie's first delegate, 15 votes transfer to his second delegate.'

This thread should probably be closed now that the caucus is underway.

Would you still support FPTP over the delegate system if the race was between 5 flavors of leftists and Bloomberg with a tiny lead?

The next election the nazi party will most likely win a plurality in my country. I'm voting for the leftmost party as long as they are prepared to make deals with the neoliberal parties if necessary to keep the nazis out of government.

In a world where 5 leftists split 70ish% of the vote all the way to the convention, Bloomberg isn't even a thing.

I keep cracking up imagining the whole reason he is running is so he can make sure there is no deeper investigation into Epstein.

He could probably just pay trump a lot of money and become head of the agency in charge of investigating everything
