This predictably would just lead to a two party system where you upvote your guy and downvote theirs.
I want the US to be able to vote a third candidate and have it not be an utter throwaway.
Comment on Instead of only voting for one candidate we should be able to upvote or downvote each candidate
Carighan@lemmy.world 1 year agoYeah but there needs to be an “explicitly not this one”-rank, and if you have to also rank republicans in the US, a whole lot of those.

Afaik, you don't have to rank every candidate in most RCV systems. So If you don't like someone, you can just leave them unranked.
