I'm asking what changed though? If you mean the criteria, that was announced in Round 1

It was announced in a huge thread that no one could read all of. I think such a big change should be highlighted better.

The candidates pass votes along somewhat for the tiebreaker criteria in Round 4. I didn't like change vote in the initial round because I figured it would become a 2 person race before it was an actual two person race. If the last round is more than two people, that eliminates that concern. I do like ranked voting as well but the poll feature on here obviously doesn't support such a system.

It depends what the purpose of having a vote is. If the goal is to encourage organization and passion, the system will be designed differently from one designed to reflect the consensus of the group. By that criterion--a good one, IMO--the system is objectively a massive flop.

I don't see a way to break things into primaries by group. Are you being serious about a bloc primary for a short simply poster v. serious discussions block or was that just a swipe as some people cause I really don't think that's a real solution you are putting out there.

It's a real suggestion, but just one of many possible dimensions that blocs can be formed along. Just pointing out that there is no need for them to be along ideological lines, and, in fact, those will be inferior to ones organized around competing visions for the group.

Sure. That's one of the common criticisms of non-partisan primaries.


What? That when all the superdelagates pledge early on for one candidate it skews the view of those yet to vote? Yeah, I've seen that. Just don't recall seeing you acknowledge it.
