Sorry, you don’t get how it works or how voters behave at all. This isn’t some hypothetical. This works in dozens of other countries, thousands of other elections. You’re hand-wringing about who people choose to vote for. Letting people vote for their preference is literally the point. Completely eliminating the biggest thing stopping Americans from voting for the person they actually want to vote for.

America’s biggest problem is that votes don’t transfer. All this rhetoric that everyone has to weigh in behind the “viable” centrist candidate - consistently drifting right - or “it’s a vote for the Republicans”. And the establishment expects you to vote for that person who can win, their policies don’t matter, so long as they have the best chance of beating the other guy. Republicans are doing this too. Potential third party voters are doing this too.

What?

The opposite of this is true. Assuming you’re not describing a different thing by the same name - an American speciality - ranked choice allows you to vote for the most extreme option as first choice and if/when they are eliminated, your vote is not wasted but assigned to the next most extreme option. How exactly would it boost moderates except in that once the extremes are eliminated, your vote goes to the moderate that you want rather than it failing to oppose the people you don’t want.

I appreciate your admission that there would be some bugs but the no comment cult took your input and made it the nominee voice to disagree with me. Anyway, here’s the incredible list of bugs this release caused, many of them install-breaking.

Bi promiscuity stereotype is strong

That’s not what he said at all. He pointed out that recommending a game and then listing examples that aren’t actually part of the game’s core rules is a bit weird. It sets an expectation that may lead to disappointment or argument.

“I love Rimworld, it’s got so many Big Naturals in it” would be, I presume, misleading *

* I’ve never played Rimworld but I assume it has Big Naturals mods like everything else

Particularly if they are releasing so many small changes. This is a nonsensical change log and really shows the difference in maturity between this and other projects. Releasing lots of small changes all in one release is a bad idea. This should have been a major version release or 3 patch releases.

Edit: I have angered the Jellyfiles

“Give me liberty or give me 40 more years of wage slaving consumerism and hoping my demographic isn’t next”

Holy shit these are two different guys

I need you to tell me that you understand that cancer is a bigger existential threat than China. You understand that right? You know even one single woman?

How does more people understanding breast cancer threaten existence?!

Yeah you didnt get the point of the post.

Forklift licenses are great though.

Its the Club World Cup, it means nothing to anyone

Well one happened in living memory and people are still living in the houses of displaced people in Palestine.

This isn’t just about land. This about homes, farms, legacies, birthright, inheritances that have been stolen by living people from living people. Not a vague concept of belonging.

Your election season is 2 years long and is somehow measured by how much money is spent reaching voters.

It is absolutely normal when not campaigning to work with people who can actually effect change, particularly if the masses seem more intent on vying for virality of their protest sign selfies and not upsetting anyone rather than actually resisting fascism.

Half the time I think when American liberals say they want to “resist fascism” I think they understand that to mean that they’re fighting the urge to actively take part in it.

It’s a comment made by a person who lives in a country where in living memory a small spark of resistance led to the eventual defeat of the most powerful empire on Earth.

“Almost impossible”.

Sorry guys we didn’t want fascism but the alternative was just, like, hard.

If only there were some unique way in which Americans were better prepared than most populations to deal with quickly resisting and overthrowing a tyrannical government.

Oh well.

Right. Just so we’re clear then, he knows Mattel is a company, and he thinks companies can impose tariffs on the USA.

And that’s better?

I don’t know why you’re describing my mother as masculine but she apologises

The problem with the term “toxic masculinity” is what exactly can we describe as “positive” masculinity? Is masculinity only toxic, or are there positive things that aren’t feminine?
