A quick definition of rank-order voting:

Rank-order voting is a way of voting where people rank their choices in order of preference. This means they choose who they like the most, second most, and so on. The votes are then counted and the person with the most first-choice votes wins. If there is no clear winner, the second-choice votes are counted and so on until someone has a majority. It's like a game where you pick your favorite players in order and the one with the most points wins.

A more thorough explanation:

Rank-order voting is a type of preferential voting where voters rank the candidates in order of preference. This means that instead of just choosing one candidate, voters can rank all the candidates from their most preferred to least preferred.

For example, in a school election, a voter might rank the candidates as follows:

  1. Samantha
  2. John
  3. Amy

If Samantha doesn't get enough votes to win, the voter's vote will be transferred to their second choice, John. This process continues until a candidate has enough votes to win.

Rank-order voting is used in some political elections, as well as in corporate elections where shareholders can rank the candidates for the board of directors.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
