I do think some of the jokes are a little (or very) questionable, but it’s rarely the ones targeting nerds. I’m also autistic and also like it, even if it’s far from perfect.

It’s not a great system honestly. Throwing away ~14% of votes (that is several million people) isn’t very democratic. It’s not entirely pointless, but at least having a main vote and one fallback vote if the main vote doesn’t make 5% would reduce that number by a lot, without encouraging heavy fracturization of parties (while still remaining computationally feasible to count, which is a real problem with systems that fully remove strategic voting).

At least this time I’m happy that neither the libertarian car fetish party nor the tankie light party made it in, but systemically it’s not great.
