He tells the truth, and I like hearing the opinions of someone politically different from me.
Yeah Tim is an investigator not a pundit
It's great, honestly. And it's really helped me see how far left the left is moving today. Like, my views ahve changed very little, always left-lib, just shy of center. Things have shifted so that I'm "on the right now." So I definitely need more people on that side of things.
idk, his beanie makes me feel like he has something to hide.
I think he is hiding babies under that beanie.
I'm probably left of Bernie but I'm also a reasonable person
Before he became a lefty-hacker he was a 2%er in the Aryan Nation and he got his tattoos on the crown of his head
to show how serious he was about it
hence the beanie
Honestly, I am on the side of anyone who will advocate for term limits.
I want ranked voting
Well, I started on the left since I grew up in a cesspit of literal communists.
That too.
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
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
