#BRAMYIR is similar to #StarVoting in that it is calculated using scores rather than ranks and looks at all scores in the first round, but unlike #StarVoting this process is repeated with the remaining candidates for as many rounds as it takes.

Introducing, my concept of a People's Primary.
Many people are tired of the political parties having all of the power in the first stage of our elections, here in the USA. If this concerns you, please promote this with the hashtag #PeoplesPrimary and please Continue Reading…

We call the process of privately owned political parties using caucuses and primaries a "primary election", but it's not really an election at all. Rather, it's a part of the process by which such privately owned organizations decide who the people can vote for in an election.
More accurately, the so-called primaries are a step in the process of privately owned political parties making an official decision about which candidates they will allow the people to have listed on the ballots of the actual election, known in the USA as the general election.

If you don't know whether someone prefers the Democrats or Republicans but you know they would prefer to vote independent or third-party, would you rather they vote for whichever big party nominee they prefer, or would you rather they vote for whoever they really want?
Please read carefully: Which of these would you be most against someone doing, if you know absolutely nothing about their voting preferences. Would you rather they not for whichever big party nominee they prefer, not vote for whoever they really want, or not abstain from voting?
I wonder if I should have put "NOT" in all caps, for emphasis. There wasn't room to add the word "NOT" directly in each of the answers, and even if I had and also put it in the question that would have just made it a double negative. I hope I worded the question obviously enough.
