      1) The candidate who comes into a contested convention with a plurality but not majority of delegates should probably get the nomination 2) They should not get it until *after* they have negotiated and compromised with enough of their opponents to get a majorityhttps://twitter.com/resisterhood/status/1233080560739848192 …

      The ins and outs of a possible brokered convention are less about the superdelegates’ back room fantasies than they are about the candidate with a plurality’s ability to coalition-build and negotiate to a majority of pledged delegates https://twitter.com/reidepstein/status/1232991488579112960 …

      That's how it's supposed to work That is, in fact, democratic It means that enough people voted for the other candidates that those other candidates have the right to demand concessions from the leader

      It's really not democratic. Or, rather, it's only vaguely democratic if you assume that we are meaningfully seeking to cast votes for delegates instead of, y'know, the person we're voting for. I don't care what the delegate I vote for thinks I want.

      It's more democratic than just throwing all those votes away and saying the first past the post winner wins the nomination

      It is very much not. Those votes were not for a second person in the first place. If the Biden coalition decides to glom onto team Bloomberg then those Biden votes were thrown away no matter what. These are not ranked choice ballots.

      Honestly I think it's highly questionable that a pure ranked choice system is "better" than the idea of a coalition government If someone is everyone's second choice should we just hand them the same power on a silver platter as if they were everyone's first choice

      Or should they have to earn it by negotiating with the people who actually were people's first choice

      That sounds good too, as I noted elsewhere. It's just deeply distinct from tossing a bunch of delegates in a room and hoping they have our best electoral interests at heart.

      Again, that actually isn't how it works, in a contested convention the delegates generally follow the lead of the candidate they were pledged to and it's understood to be a conversation among the campaigns

          Eh, maybe. I suppose the operating assumption is that the candidate themself can be reasonably entrusted to represent their voters, and, if they can't, then their voters should have voted elsewise. The presence of delegates in the structure is so weird though.
