I appreciate the article and its through examination of voting.
I agree with this idea and its implications.
However, we see that we would be in favor of this option, but I know not all people use rational thinking.
In fact, some people want to vote specifically for "the winner" and may vote based on who they perceive will win. It feels good to be on "the winning sude" and know that your opinions were "right". They would appreciate a similar simple option of "for X".
We see that is mass minnow upvotes.
The irrational world is heavily populated and must be considered.
Persuasion helps.
@strangearray that is a very good point. The herd mentality is a dynamic. Whenever something is good for lack of a better word people jump on it as they want to be part of the "good".
Just looked at some of you posts, I'm following you now.
