quixote , 10 days ago @RolloTreadway @ChrisMayLA6 Theoretically, yes. In practice, some methods are much less reflective of what people want than others. First-past-the-post, winner-take-all being one good example of very gameable by politicians. Ranked choice voting (aka preference voting, cumulative choice) seem to do a better job of reflecting majority voices. Method does matter. You're right that people shouldn't be promoting it based on whether they "win" or not.
