We have a lot of promising autodeterent proposals, & that’s important
because the previously best Condorcet, wv, doesn’t get rid of the lesser of
two evils problem (LO2E) as well as I’d like:

 Because the candidate-lineups are dichotomous, I’d vote 2-valued,
all-or-nothing, like Approval.

But then might not the lesser/evil voters do the same, & insincerely
toprank their evil, the Democrat?

No good.

Maybe only the new Condorcet-class, the autodeterents, can deliver on the
Condorcet promise.

lv & wv seem the strongest, most direct, most undiluted & most reliable
clues to offensive strategy.

…for use by GWAGLE, Diff, & it’s alternative, Ratio.

I like Black, & it might have some autodeterence, though diluted.

So: Smith//Borda(=<).

Of course there are several Borda versions.

For this purpose, & also for plain Borda, I like Borda(=<):

A ranking gives to each candidate a point for each candidate whom it
doesn’t rank over hir.

Equal topranking is fully-effective. Bottom-ranking is less effective the
more you bottomrank.

Of course all of the following are applied only in the Smith-set:

GWAGL(lv,wv):

Elect the candidate who beats with biggest wv the candidate with lowest lv
in a defeat.

Diff(lv,wv):

Elect the winner in the defeat with largest wv - lv.

Ratio(lv,wv):

Elect the winner in the defeat with largest wv/lv.
