This is exactly why Bernie shouldn't except the frame that Bernie Bros are even a problem. He should push back and say this is ginned up by the MSM in bad faith.

Anyone who has ever listened to or followed the Chapo hosts knows it’s not gunned up.

it was genius for warren to continue on the sex creep stuff since there are so many service workers in NV and every single woman in that industry deals with pervvy customers on a regular basis

Trump’s buddy and ex-RNC finance chairman Steve Wynn was flirting to loving his casino’s employees for decades, and his ex-wife coaxed the board into ejecting him after it was revealed the company was paying child support to the hairdresser. The phrase “I want to know what a grandmother feels like” caused Nevada to throw up in it’s mouth about two years ago this time.

But I think Warren’s looking ahead to Super Tuesday here.

Umbridge is elected even though 99.98% of the voters preferred Dumbledore. Do you see the issue now.

You had to dream up a scenario where nearly 10,000 voters enable two voters to decide everything? That's the least likely thing ever, and if it is ever a real problem then we might as well do away with democracy entirely.

In a proper voting system that absurd situation isn't possible at all.

That was an extreme example but that problem would occur all the time, because under approval voting the candidate preferred by a majority isn't guaranteed to win.

Yeah no poo poo, if you let individual voters pick as many candidates as they like someone could win with fewer unique individual voters. That’s called consensus and it’s part of the design.

I don't get how approval voting is supposed to be better than IRV / Ranked Choice / whatever. The latter gathers more information from voters to determine their preference - wouldn't that naturally lead to a result closer to what the electorate wanted?

It seems to me that IRV could be worse for representing a variety of options? It benefits candidates who have a lot of soft support but are widely seen as not being electable for reasons. You can make a show of support for a candidate at the back of the pack without having to do so exclusively. I guess Yang would be the guy in this cycle that fits that description best, there's a lot of people who liked his message but wouldn't vote for him to the exclusion of other candidates.
