Scott Santens

I would like speak to him and be his advisor.

And, you know, I would be a part of making this happen if it was, if I had the potential to do that, because I just want it to happen and make sure that it's designed the best way that we can design it.

I mean, I think Justin Amash is such a great example of why ranked choice voting is so important to all of us too.

He's running a campaign, and we do know that he is for this.

He's for recurring cash payments, and I'm not sure if he's for UBI, like a permanent UBI, but he's certainly, I think, open to it.

And given the choice between two anti-UBI presidents, at least Joe Biden is anti-UBI so far, and

Trump, even though he's been for the stimulus, he speaks in a way that I think is anti-UBI.

But Justin Amash has no chance of actually winning because of the fact that we exist in this two-party system.

All he can do is function as a spoiler by reducing the amount of votes going to either Biden or Trump.

I have no idea which one would get more votes from him.

But that's really unfortunate.

It shouldn't be that way.

We should be able to vote for whoever we most want to vote for.

And then the way the ranked choice system works is if no one gets over 51%, then those are the least votes.

Those votes are redistributed to the second choices.

And then you do it again, and those are redistributed.

The next one is redistributed to the third choices.

And so in that kind of system,

you actually can have third party candidates that actually can win because people will vote for them without fear of the spoiler effect.

And I think also we would drastically see a difference in the amount of partisanship we have too, because right now our politics is negative partisan based where so many people are voting against the other person instead of for the person they actually want.
