isn’t that effectively wordplay? say, i like chocolate but vanilla more. then i choose vanilla but i’m not against chocolate. it doesn’t matter when two given choices.
but that’s doesn’t account for non-late-stage FPTP. given more than two choices i’d have to vote for a candidate. voting against other candidate may not work because largest minority wins.
Doesn’t against and for mean the same thing with only two choices?!
I think it’s the opposite. In FPTP system the largest minority wins. If you vote against one candidate, it will (probably) create another minority. To make sure the candidate loses, the largest minority have to agree for another candidate just any candidate won’t do. Related cgp grey’s video - https://yewtu.be/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo
is that a debian reference?
