Now, now, let’s not go over board.
Just this guy, you know?
Now, now, let’s not go over board.
What gives you the idea that I have any such idea? I find that quite puzzling.
A nuclear detonation is a very delicate and precisely controlled process. It doesn’t just happen because a bomb goes off near the nuke. So sure, they can say anything, but there will be obvious evidence.
Speaking of saying anything, I’m going to look for reliable confirmation that this even happened. I’m not taking Trump’s fucking tweet for it.
Yeah, fair enough. But the war cry doesn’t quite match the cause. This ain’t King George. You elected this one
What do you mean “taxation without representation”? This is the US government taxing the people of the US for buying imported goods. The people who elected said government. We’re still solidly in leopards eating faces territory.
Great. Now I’ve got that stuck in my head.
No thanks, we don’t want Elon
Say 50.1% of the population vote to leave so it’s on, then some people change their minds or some people die while others turn 18, then it’s 49.9% who want independence so it’s off.
Thats exactly how it went with Brexit, except that they still went through with it.
Fry it all on the same pan.
It’s hard to avoid completely. Just clicking the link can be considered buying American. (Even worse that Wife and I subscribe to NYT. But WaPo got cancelled)
Perhaps help pass voting reform and then split apart once the system allows that without obliterating the party.
Yeah, split the right wing vote! Let’s go!
You think it’s somehow fair that he gets 2/3 of a neighbouring country?
Nobody considers him a threat.
Thats not quite right. He’s a threat in the same way as a toddler with a hand grenade.
I agree there is a simple and more concise way of answering, but I saw it as a teaching moment to go a bit more in depth.
Yeah, I think what you’ll really get with a wall of text like this is that people don’t read it and you missed the chance to influence them at all. Case in point: I didn’t read your response. Just skimmed it for the above paragraph.
If you feel the need to write a lecture, at least answer the why question first. Otherwise people really don’t care about the mechanics of the damned thing.
You’re answering the wrong question. That’s a “how” answer, not a “why” answer. Surely there is a simple one-paragraph explanation of why FPTP is terrible
On a side note, Ranked Choice specifically is only slightly better than FPTP compared to say Ranked Robin, STAR, or Score voting.
Whatever you do, please don’t split the alternative voting vote and let FPTP win with 40%.
Absolutely. And if they have the zucchini flowers for starter. And it’s all good, really.
I can’t remember if Artichokes are in season… I think I saw some at the market yesterday, but if they are then the Romans do great things with them. Both Roman and Jewish style.
You misspelled “a minor bit of pedantry”. Sorry. It had to be done.
