2·2 days agoJust like in WW1.
how does an 11 year old surrender? walk up to a border crossing and say “please relocate me” and hope they don’t rifle butt her head?
Is that what you get when you cross a dog with a cantaloupe?
1561·6 days agoIn Canada we were told that putting execs in jail would “hurt jobs” and we had to pass a law that said they just get a fine instead.
The execs in question were caught selling hookers to Qaddafi’s son.
Where in the bible does it actually say that?
2·12 days agoWe studied it in Canada, including how it was used in Australia, and it was the only electoral systems out of all the ones listed that actually widened the gap between voter intention and seat distribution from FPTP.

Specifically here, where it is called “Alternative Vote”:
I’m mostly just frustrated about how it keeps getting renamed.
But it is entirely possible to invent an electoral system that is worse than what we have now, and it seems politicians might have done that with IRV.
In most contexts, we’re mostly talking about Single-Winner elections.
In the context of electoral systems, “Congress” and “Senate” are multi-seat legislatures. Hence the talk about proportional representation, IE how many Americans vote Democrat vs how many Democrats get elected. Without that discussion you’ll never get a 3rd party elected.
Really bugs me how americans talk about “ranked choice voting” because you guys seem to mean STV, which is a form of proportional representation with multi-member districts.
But in Canada, “ranked ballots” meant IRV, which was basically FPTP with a ranked ballot, and ironically exacerbated the worst parts of FPTP like the trend to a two party system.
Stick with the real names of electoral systems!
Ah but they badly mimic it very quickly!
I can be writing buggy code in a fraction of the time it took me to steal those code snippets myself.
The “english” setting does nothing.
No, it means 50% of the cable must be submerged or buried. Little speed bumps all around.
Those are definitely Russian propaganda talking points.
This is how they get us. Infiltrate the groups that we already agree with, like pro-Palestine, anti-Israel, then flood those communities with “…and also we should all hate NATO!”, and people like this guy can’t tell the difference.
