But the evidence isn’t immune.
Thank you for providing an example.
Let’s say E is everyone’s second choice, but nobody’s first choice. E is the first candidate eliminated because E got 0% of the vote.
Let’s say it shakes out like this:
40% A E C B
21% B E A C
20% D E C B
19% C E D B <- You
40 A D 39 D B 21 B D
60 D 40 A
First round, E is eliminated despite being the most popular candidate by far.
Second Round, C, followed by B. D wins.
But if 3% of A voters switched to C, then A would have won because D would be eliminated, sending their votes to C, which would have eliminated B, sending those votes to A. But D and C voters hate A, so it’s in their best interest to also vote for B. And now we’re back to fptp
When considering the quality of a voting system, you want voters to be honest (i.e. not strategic in their votes). Voters should pick the candidate they agree with, not the candidates they think they must support to avoid a catastrophe.
That looks like it! Thanks!! I honestly don’t remember enough of the one I saw to be sure if that was the same project, but it is definitely the same concept and looks like the creator put a lot of work into it to make it perfect.
I asked because years ago, I saw a ROM for NES that took the original Japanese version and retranslated everything to English, fixing a lot of broken clues and storylines. I haven’t been able to find it again.
Anti-Semitic people would wipe out Jewish people in Israel if the United States withdrew its support of Israel. That doesn’t in any way justify Israel targeting civilians or engaging in genocide, but it’s disingenuous to claim only one side is threatened with annihilation. Nor does it imply that both the threat and the action are “totally the same thing.” Nobody is suggesting that.
I don’t have one. Do you?
This also bugs me in movies whenever someone is kicked off the boat, but they’re given a small rowboat and some provisions. Like, that wasn’t an extra boat. It serves a purpose on the ship, and everything that takes up space on a boat is precious. A “spare” rowboat could be the difference between life and a horrible death. It could be months before they find a port where they can buy a replacement rowboat.
Are all the bugs and mistranslations there?
Everyone knew a shady guy who promised to mod your PlayStation to play burned games, but few wanted to risk turning their console into a brick.
No worries about coming off as defensive, I completely understand how you would read my comment as an attack. It wasn’t how I meant it, but I recognize that I was fired up about it.
The superintendent is absolutely posturing, and I don’t think he believes he will win in court. But I believe there is a chance he wins in court, especially given the number of activist conservative justices we have on the bench.
I don’t have any doubt about what he meant by “teaching the Bible,” and I am certain it had nothing to do with providing a rounded and thorough depiction of various religious and cultural practices of a pluralistic multicultural society. The guy is a christo-fascist and a bigot. He belongs in prison for trying to abuse his position in government to subjugate his constituents.
Oh I completely agree with you, and I don’t begrudge anyone who’s willing to do what they have to do to keep their jobs. My point is just that fascists don’t play fair. They won’t put their hands on their hips and smirk disapprovingly at malicious compliance. They will keep stepping on your neck until you do exactly what they want without question. You know that when they say the Bible, they of course mean their interpretation of their version of a Bible of their choosing. They aren’t going to permit debate on the topic.
Malicious compliance is still compliance. If you concede this hill, the next one will be a requirement to teach the Bible as historical truth. And then it will be to prevent teaching actual science.
Agreed. But it still encourages strategic voting and discourages third-party spoilers. It’s fptp with extra steps, and it gets worse the more candidates you have. If you don’t pick a frontrunner first or second, there’s a chance your vote isn’t counted at all.
Unfortunately, RCV doesn’t end the two party system. It’s better than what we have, but only marginally. My hope is that when voters complain about it, the next step is not to repeal RCV but to evolve into Star voting.
One guy is slightly hoarse.
The other is a delusional fascist.
So basically both sides the same.
So… we’re doomed?
Corrupt judge makes corrupt ruling. We’re going to be untangling 2016 for generations.
No shit.
You’re right, but the reason that hasn’t caught on is that talking to your “smart” house is stupid. You can’t possibly program every possible command or situation, and telling Alexa to dim the lights in your kitchen to 40% is slower than using a dimmer switch. Actual smart homes are automated to the point where you don’t need to talk to your room.
The covering up happened before he was elected. It could not be an official act.
