Why would the Democrats ever support ranked choice voting?

Seems like you feel that they care about how you vote but not anyone else.

That’s not what I said. I said they don’t care about why you vote for them if you do.

They might very much care about why you don’t vote for them. That’s why the Democrats always tack to the right, btw - the most marginal voter controls the platform, and Democratic leadership believes that the imaginary moderate Republican is more marginal than the left.

And that’s why voting third party is a much more effective thing than not voting (as plenty of people did not in 2024). Voting for a non-Democratic candidate shows exactly what they’re losing and why. It’s quantifiable and can’t be argued.

Democratic loyalists often want to claim that third party voters lose elections for them. They don’t - but if they actually do, then the answer to that problem becomes obvious. Per Duverger’s law, how it’s worked since the collapse of the whigs, is that the party needs to either adopt those positions, or die.

I have. And you’ve said you’ll vote for the Democrats be cause you think that votes against the GOP.

I don’t think it does, but regardless, they don’t care why you vote for them. You’ve made it clear they have your vote no matter what, and so your questions don’t matter.

Oh, that’s the fun part of it - it’s your debt, but on the children’s insurance. They’re moving the care from one patient to another (to max out family out of pocket charges), but the parents are on the contract and can be sued.

That’s in addition to a deduction of taxes they pay in their country.

In the US, the penalty for not filing is in addition to whatever to is owed.

If you’re a US citizen, you need to file once you’re 18 pretty much. If you don’t go to the US, and don’t live in a place with lower taxes, that’s it.

And that Black people will get benefits if we have social programs, and can’t have that.

Both our kids were charged 6,000 to be born . . . Fun trick, where they charge the baby, since the mother has probably hit their out of pocket max, and that lets them jack it to the family max.

More Luigis please.

Iraq wasn’t just the GOP. Most Democratic leaders - including Hillary Clinton and Biden - supported and voted for it

Deploy the Jodi Brigade

One of the main cheerleaders of the Iraq War. The point stands.

Again, if you want to say it’s a bad deal,it’s a different argument. Russia wasn’t demanding territory,and that’s what the poster was claiming.

Putin at one point was the US’ favored guy, as Yeltsin’s heir

British press is already there. Anything to pretend it wasn’t Israel.

It was one thing to be stupid enough to believe Trump was actually going to go against “the swamp” in 2016.

But in 2024? HE HAD ALREADY BEEN PRESIDENT YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

Worked as an American consultant for the Dutch government in IT, can confirm this absolutely. It’s a case of finding private companies to funnel money to instead of actually creating capacity, all because of the incorrect illusion that the private sector is magically efficient.

My unofficial advice to my colleagues while leaving my posting was “stop hiring people like me. Spend the money on developing good internal devs”.

Yeah, I would switch from my Framework to a Slimbook if they offered upgradability.

They could make parts that work to the Framework spec, that is open source, which would he awesome.

Must be nice to decide that Ukraine has to keep fighting when you’re not one of the conscripts dying.

Britain didn’t suspend elections in WWII, they used a parliamentary trick to avoid them.

Nobody doubts Britain’s a democracy

They’re a monarchy. Without a constitution.
