Can we have ranked voting everywhere please?

[Gredival]

Nope because Republicans already talking about how this proves it's bad

Peltola will have to run again in the November midterm for a full-term, but this energizes her campaign, will increase national dem party funding for her, and motivate Dem voters who may have felt too defeated and pointless to vote Dem in an assumed Republican state. I hope like hell she can win again in November.

Bonus, all three candidates were at an event together being interviewed while the winner was announced for their reactions. Palin is now calling for Begich end his campaign but she just lost lmao.

This is something that I have been hoping for, for awhile now. Palin losing with it to an Alaskan native comically shows its value in one the greatest contemporary ways possible.

Actually both parties hate ranked choice. Moderates are the only people who really want it because it defeats the extremes.

Man she sure is all packed in there

Didn't it get implemented as a way to try to thwart Murkowski after she voted to impeach Trump?

Well in Alaska, the Dems are the moderate by default, so in this particular instance they love it.

Why is younger Begich a Republican? I know older Begich was a Dem and his father (so presumably younger one's grandfather) was one as well.

I don't see a world in which ranked choice doesn't help her? The Dems' second choice is always going to be Murkowski ahead of a MAGA Republican.

I think younger Begich is a nephew, dunno why he's a Republican other than if you are going to commit to statewide electoral politics in Alaska it's way better to be a Republican.

Totally agree on the "it makes no sense" point about RCV vis a vis Murkowski, just saw someone on Twitter say that, I don't know what the history of implementing RCV was in Alaska other than that it's new.

Sir, I am not a moderate, and I want it.

Cuz you're a tard and want to be able to vote your conscious without the guilt of the fact that it lets the other side win and create material negative consequences that you are responsible for.

Like ranked choice voting is good, but it wouldn't be necessary if less people like you existed.

Can mods ban themselves for breaking forum rules?

[Gredival]

I have never ever enforced any no-word rules because they are universally stupid. Trying to judge the appropriateness of language out of contextual use is insipid and shallow analysis.

Amusing. Yeah, anyone who doesn't believe in the hegemony of the neoliberal order is the problem. Anyone who knows the Dems are
utterly full of shit and have shit policies. Despite the focus on the smaller fish in it who sincerely do want better. Anyone who votes for what they believe in is the problem. They should just shut up and vote for whoever you determine suits yourself. You know, real democracy. How fucking insulting to any level of decency and integrity.

Should have a discussion with your fellow mods about that then.
