compressing it to approval voting doesn't hurt very much and makes the ballot extremely simple.

IRV is a strategic mess that maintains a two party system.

That comes across as weirdly aggressive when you're referring to earlier in the same post. Like I'm dumb for not somehow seeing that before I finished my own post.

Also what's the definition of honesty for approval voting? Where am I supposed to draw the line?

The chart is pretty but I'm not trusting that chart without a lot more info.

I didn't say I want instant runoff in particular.
