In France, there is run-off voting. You get to both have the cake of voting for who’s gonna be the best, and then eat the cake of even if your favorite lost, you can keep the most evil out of power. I’m so jealous of this and I urge everyone to please help keep the fachos out!

Sometimes it’s pretty frustrating thinking about election systems since not only are fair elections impossible, even if we did have fair elections, people would still vote for some pretty bad policies. But let’s make the best of the world as it is (without giving up on saving it), and please vote.

@Sandra I get what you mean

I wouldn’t call it cake though

More like a shovel of dirt…

@codeforchaos Yeah, that's a more accurate description, but there's still two shovels.

1. Try to vote for the overall lesser evil.
2. Try to vote for the lesser evil among the runoff candidates

It's understandable that most people are too exhausted from being pelted with a dirt shovel in step one to then sign up for another round of dirt shovel in step two, but I hope those who can, do.
