the proposal uses Condorcet as a standard, and tries to add Quota and
Supermajority options in a way that does not break Condorcet.
the way that Quota is handled does break Condorcet, by allowing a winner
that is not the Ideal Democratic Winner. my amendment fixes that issue.
my amendment does not address the issue of Supermajority.

it inherently biases the default option. my amendment removes that bias.
