Ranked choice voting helps make voting more open to all candidates, rather than just a popularity contest between the two with the most advertising.

Voting is available to all citizens, that are not felons. Your comment is even more foolish than Mitch Moore's comment.

Most people are libertarian, favoring civil liberties and economic freedom. What we end up with are Dems who are against economic freedom or Republicans who are soft on individual liberty. Ranked voting is the only way to give the majority of voters what they truly want.

We do not want round after round of voting to rank candidates and split votes unfairly. Ranked Voting ensures the middle ranked candidates will always win. To understand this watch the clip https://youtu.be/QD5OVSDpyNU

Thanks for sharing, I was not aware of which candidates it ensures wins, makes sense, I just know it supports cheating which disenfranchises all voters.

Can easily have all Democrats or Republicans with no real opposition from opposing party. This option really does not give real choice.

Yup...Missourians are awake to how they put in the Resident. CTCL$ Boone got over $680,000 in 2020. Follow the money, you find the dead and fake voters.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
