Hmm *Looks at F35* Imma put a baby in you 😩

Somehow more hinged than the comment I originally replied to, God I love you NCD, never change.

Niche? I thought it was an idea the entire Dem group was putting forth legislation on

There's a difference between the Democratic base and the Democratic Party politicians who make decisions. RCV is somewhat popular among the Democratic Party politicians, it's basically unknown of/uncared about by the base. That's how it's both niche, and desired by the Party. I'm sure you knew this though.

Yes, Dems should take time during campaigns to talk about actual policy. That's what campaigns are for.

That's what they do. Literally every single election.

99% of status quo talking points are boring because our representatives are bad at their jobs.

No they're boring to you, because they're not meant to appeal to you, you do not represent the majority of the Democratic base, the Democratic base is mostly middle aged college educated liberals, not hyper-online leftists.

Ignorant American here, is that not what the Green Party is supposed to be? Is there a reason why Corbyn and the left wing labor/independent MP's shouldn't just join the Greens?

What?

Really? You think the Democrats should be spending valuable time in an election year talking about a niche electoral reform that most people would need explained?

There's a reason 99% of political rhetoric revolves around bread and butter issues or something that can be used to scare people. RCV is neither of those, and most people who are actually dedicated to getting RCV already know about FairVote and the Democratic party's willingness to pass RCV.

It's from some of the most senior democrats from the progressive and centrist wings and would permanently destroy Gerrymandering, I'm pretty sure most democrats would support it given the chance.

It found “no evidence” of Hawaii officials making preparations for the wildfire, despite days of warnings that critical fire weather was coming, and that the lack of planning hindered efforts to evacuate Lahaina before it burned.

Having personally experienced a wildfire almost the exact same as this, I really really hope the people of this town can get some accountability, my town barely hit national news and got zero accountability for the failures of the city government.

They still are, the Wikipedia page just hasn't been updated.

Edit: Actually, if you'd just look at the "Legislative History" section of the wiki article instead of reading just the top summary, you'd see it got reintroduced in 2024.

They are.

Liberalism is far more than just the economic liberalism of the 1700s. Most democratic voters are actually liberals and not leftists as well.

Though since FDR, Liberalism in the U.S. has somewhat lost its meaning and turned into anything left of center.

This Minaret features heavily in a book by British Politician Rory Stewart, "The Places in Between" He also started a non-profit to try and preserve the culture and traditions of the local area. It's a very interesting book, I highly suggest reading it.

Saying this after saying to vote third party is certainly a pot calling kettle black moment.
