Coming back around to this bcuz I think the numbers show that is exactly the case. A candidate that could capture even most of that 60% instead of it going 3 ways would beat him

And again 60% of first choice votes means that "most" people did not choose him with their first and main preference
November 12, 2025 at 2:12 AM
Like we think strategically about it but the results over and over do not bear that out bcuz people approach RCV in different ways including voting their preference and then voting all sorts of different things down the ranks

I think you can say that with 2021. But that mischaracterizes the dynamics of 2025. Im not sure why youre so adamant that second (or third) choice votes are some resounding sign of grudging acceptance. Voters dont engage with ranked choice that way at all

Like this was not some overwhelming win and a slightly different race coukd have different outcomes. Like for example Jazz Hampton got like 14% of the first round and half his second choices went to Frey. That shows that mist folks think he's fine at best

I dont think theres some "silent majority" theres a loud majority. 60% of first choice votes were *not for Frey* idk what the hell else you call that

I think this was very much "the deil you know" bcuz they werent given a compelling option from the menu that they hadn't tasted before

Except many many voters were very vocal about not liking him but being more against Fateh than being mad at/annoyed with Jacob. Which gets to her point!
