Something that I think is frequently overlooked is approval voting! Why have a single transferable vote when a voter would be happy with more than one candidate?

Thanks for your feedback!
There are many kinds of electoral systems, but in this space limited format, I only selected the ones most commonly discussed.
Unless you're referring to multiwinner approval voting, I also don't see the benefits of approval voting over STV, as approval voting is winner take all.
If you are referring to multiwinner approval voting, then STV would still be superior, as it forces voters to consider which candidates are more preferred.

The red bar sinister and green checkmark smell of “telling you what to think”. Comes off like a cheap chinese product banner image on Amazon.

Perhaps, but are you suggesting we should not fight for a healthy democracy?
(and yes, a healthy democracy requires that every vote counts, as it would in proportional representation electoral systems)

Haha. Yup, it's ugly, but maybe someone else can do something better with it, it's licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0.

Just curious, what part of my comment led you to reply with “are you suggesting we should not fight for a healthy democracy”?
Also, encouraging liberal voters to vote for a fringe party with less than 3% of the vote, like the Green Party, leads to the right-wing party winning.
“Vote Green Party” is a sure way to see national outcomes even further away from your ideals.
