They wouldn’t though, right? Presumably you’d vote for the one that doesn’t excite you and not the one that wants to be a dictator…
Comment on Instead of only voting for one candidate we should be able to upvote or downvote each candidate
nix@merv.news 1 year agoExactly, but I think Approval Voting needs a Downvote option as well, so exceptionally bad candidates can be disapproved of by a voter. So a candidate that doesn’t excite you doesn’t get the same “points” from you as a candidate that wants to be a dictator.

The downvote option turns it from Approval into Score.
I personally like STAR, which is Score, but then adds in some extra features to make it all work better.
