    We cannot ignore that the blobs have forward facing eyes, and are thus predators
  • Broke Political Compass: Socialist vs Capitalist + Anarchist vs Authoritarian Woke Political Compass: Apple vs Mango + Old houses vs Spooky houses
  • One thing I noticed about approval voting is how many blobs are outside of all candidates' ranges. If they want to vote honestly then they don't get a vote at all, so they're essentially forced to be strategic.
  • In case somebody is interested: There is actually a theorem called 'arrows impossibilty theorem' which states that there is no fair ranked voting system that satifies certain quality criterias. One of the criterias is in fact the here mentioned spoiler effect doesnt occur.
  • I love how whenever something bad happens, the blobs look down and shake their heads
  • @dickybear
    as a Chinese i have to say u ignored our system where you don't get to vote.
  • @trayfr
    For some reason, the fact that they are blobs made them somewhat more human and I felt bad when they lost and had that sad expression.
  • The blobs have evolved a lot. They learned to search and hunt. They formed an economy. They eradicated a disease. Now, they are looking for someone to be their leader.
  • You forget to mention a "Put in" voting: No matter who you vote, Putin always wins.
  • What you describe at 6:23 is what happened in the French presidential election in 2002, "forcing" the left-wing voters to vote for the moderate right wing candidate Chirac, who got elected with a crazy 82.21% of the votes in the second round.
  • Plurality voting inevitably leads to what I like to call "Yes-no politics" where one party says "yes" to one issue and the other says "no". It reduces nuance and creates an easily divisive, black-or-white ideological landscape in viable politics.
  • One of the most accurate parts of this video was how much the candidates were changing their positions
  • @fgcp2964
    The example you used for Australia was the Senate, which doesn't have single member electorates so that adds a whole other dimension to it. Each state gets an equal number of senators (with smaller numbers for Territories) so - while they do have preferential voting - they are also elected with a plurality based on preferences, rather than a majority. A better illustration of your point would be the House of Reps.
  • Thanks for this. Ranked Choice vs Approval is on the Seattle general ballot, and this is really helpful to visualize voting strategies.
  • @carykh
    As someone who believes CGP Grey's voting videos from 2011 should be shown to everyone, I'm so glad you made this! I feel like every possible political issue arises downstream from the voting system itself. It's hard to overstate how important that is.
  • @opalxo1
    Man, I wish elections were as simple as houses and mangos.
  • I like to think that in real life each person will have a different range size. But when there's no option to choose within their original range, they might "expand" their range to find the closest candidates fiting their ideas and don't let the other candidates to have a chance.
