[EM] Has this idea been considered?

[Jameson Quinn]

First, I'd ask people on this list to please stop discussing tax policy
here. It's not the place for it.

More or less. My impression was that we had agreed that a statement should
explain and support no more than two simple methods, and mention as good a
broad range - as many as could get broad acceptance. For the simple methods,
it seemed that people were leaning towards (Condorcet//Approval or
Minimax/WV) plus (Approval or SODA). For the "generally agreed as
improvements", I think we could get consensus that the aforementioned ones
plus MJ, Range, and a catch-all "condorcet methods" (since in practice they
are unlikely to differ), would all be improvements over plurality.

So, I guess the question is: is there anyone who would support Approval but
not SODA? Respond in text. Also, I made a poll on betterpolls - go vote.
