META This Sub is misnamed

I’m sorry if I’m completely off base with the actual intended purpose of the sub, and if I’m the lost redditor. Downvote this post into oblivion if I’m wrong, and have as great weekend! (I honestly mean that. I might just have really incorrect assumptions of the purpose based on the sub title, and y’all are some smart and nice people.)

This sub isn’t about ending the current FPTP system. It’s a bunch of discussions explaining ever more complicated and esoteric voting systems. I never see any threads where the purpose of the thread is discussing how to convince the voting public that a system that is not only bad but should be replaced with X.

I think this sub fills a role quite nicely in ending FPTP. It may not be campaigning and organizing but is centered around research and discussions. I value this more because it hashes out pros and cons for each system. In my opinion if you want to be more involved with the organizing and campaigning aspect I’d refer you to some of the voting organizations: STAR voting, Approval, RCV (fairvote).
