Nope, not even a little. Seems it was just a formality that never meant anything.

Wild, thanks for the input, think im gonna try and read a little more about this and other rcv initiatives. Would love to be able to understand how they pass and fail in case my state decides to put it on the ballot in the future.

Was it too confusing or did someone spend a lot of money playing ads that kept saying it was too confusing I wonder. I'd actually love to hear what the local ads and media around that ballot measure were like if anyone is local to Oregon.

This article is literally why. Political outsider with popular policies won, do you know how much money a voting system that does this will cost the people writing those laws?

First Ranked Choice vote.

Elect Progressive.

Other politicians: 'Okay that's enough RCV for America'

I see interests colliding in the future and I'm curious to how it plays out. Mexico is clearly going to be much less diplomatically available for Trump, so long as he keep his same rhetoric and plans going. This significantly lowers the leverage US auto makers have in lobbying Uncle Sam to use diplomacy to keep Chinese EV plants out of Mexico. Trump certainly seems to be driving Mexico toward China, and his economic moves in his first term drove China to Mexico, these bridges are already built, many of the Chinese goods that he kept out of the US simply went south.

Unironically probably something like that. Nature will take what we give it and keep going best it can, the ashes of the old world will fertilize the new one, and it wouldn't be the first time nature on this planet has done something like that.

Don't be too modest, we will take countless species with us. Some are already relegated to museams due to nothing but human interference. Yes the giant rock will persist but we will disturb enough life to seriously jeopardize the future of many if not most forms of life.

They don't even put the answer in the title, this is peak irresponsible journalism.

Removed for calling out Israeli sportswashing. Gutless mod.

"Insinuating they shouldn't be allowed because where theyre born is bigotry"

Is it bigorty when they keep Russians out of europe? Is it bigotry when Russians cant join sports leagues? You going to start deleting all those comments too? Becsuse from what I've seen it's perfectly acceptable to be hard on Russia here because of their war. This mod action is hasbara and inconsistent with the way the rest of this community is moderated.
