I was confused by GP's post, as well! I have only seen quadratic voting used to decide amongst non-binary questions: positions with at least 3 (or more) possible outcomes. It seems weird to mix voting across a bunch of different issues. |

Also, mathematically a question with > 2 choices isn’t ultimately that different from a ballot with multiple binary questions. You can imagine my scenario with credits allocated to a single non-binary question as well, just substitute “poisonous question” with “poisonous option/individual” (though it is harder for me to demonstrate with non-partisan or bi-partisan examples).
Edit: Some plausible examples for distributing credits across issues include multiple open seats and top x contenders get them (so n binary yes/no “do you want x to have a seat?” questions), a ballot to determine which candidate you’re most likely to align with based off their yes/no stance on multiple questions (which is a problem if anyone’s stance is boiled down to a simple yes/no but that’s unfortunately the state of politics today with no shades of grey), etc.
