I moved center
Instant Runoffs..Term limits.
then the culture war got spicy
2016 sucked because I couldn't rank HIllary at the bottom
I took..a new rule in 2016
Bottom how?
once I know who is in the presidential election I nope out for the next 6 months
In ranked voting you rank candidates from who you want most to wh you want least
I watched all of MASH in the time I would have spent keeping up with news in that time.
I felt MUCH better.
hmm
MASH is pretty good for a tv show
Indeed, I tended to only really follow factual claims of a specific nature during the 2016 elections
Eh, I noped out completely
Ironically, though i've found Tim and othrs. I follow the news a lot less. It's too fucked to one side or the other and there's so much crap reporting it's like, what's the point?
Neither Candidate was for me
so I just like. "I know how this is going to go..I lose either way..I am just gonna take a break."
I am working on a piece of technology which will hopefully make it financially viable again for news organizations to do high volumes of good-quality general reporting, which conveys an accurate picture of how certain the claims made are.
idk, i'm hoping for a rematch in 2020 , hillary vs Trump round 2.
be hilarious 😃
currently, the clickbait offers better ROI than quality reporting, I want to flip that around.
I would be fine with that Paradox
IRV can have some substandard results.
another year of not watching news
I could watch all of star trek
And IRV is really... not appropriate for the U.S. electoral structure
I probably won't be following 2020. I'll either be voting Trump or 3rd party barring some act of God . Im not looking forward to the insanity of that election cycle given how crazy it's been this year for the mid-terms
which is intentionally undemocratic
for non-nefarious reasons.
It would work for the primaries
oh sure
IRV primaries actually make lots of sense.
which is were the real rigging comes from
we should have IRV and have all primaries on the same day
The electoral system has caused a lot of problems, its supposed to potect agains the tyranny of the majority but it just means parties fight over territory instead of actually helping their constituents
well, if the party itself wants their primary rigged, they'll figure it out.
I listen styx's videos while cooking up breakfast and getting set for the day, cause he uploads them at like 6:40 my time, and then i listen to tims vids after i get home and have supper. Thats about all the news i watch anymore
@Risotto territory is the right unit of representation in federal politics though
I do Beck, Mahr, No Agenda and some youtubers
