I'm sorry but that title is just giving the wrong message. This is a very important political issue, and people who don't watch the video to the end will only read that.

A little click-baity. Better title would be: Why Approval Voting is better than Rank Choice Ballot and First Past the Post. Should we put it to a vote?

Thank you so much for mentioning Approval Voting, it is worth noting that Fargo ND and St. Louis use approval voting. We continue our work to enable communities across the country to implement our reform. Learn more and join in on the change at

The video is about voting systems (and it's a great one for that subject), not democracy. Voting is the bare minimum thing to do in an "healthy" democracy, people should be engaged more often and take decisions more often, rather than electing people to take decisions for them.

The reason why Arrows theorem does not apply on scoring/range voting systems, is because these can be used to answer whether a candidate is good at all, not just better/worse than another candidate.

@JordanDHeath Bring back traditional monarchies! People started hating monarchies because of French absolutist monarchies. Life is hierarchical naturally.

Glad approval voting was mentioned! The title of the video should have been a question, approval voting saves democracy. Look into @5starvoting
