if he decides “if I die, the world dies”, we’re doomed.

Unlikely, he's got kids.

They're hardly in a corner. They could stop invading and broker a peace deal at any time.

Russia still has plenty of nukes, and they could fire them all before anybody has time to react. If that nuke is an ICBM, though, as soon as it leaves the silo the world would know, and the counter barrage of nukes would be firing up before it even lands.

Obviously an ICBM is armageddon. However a tacticsl nuke, one dropped from a plane or something onto Ukraine would be a different story.

The world will be far less inclined to launching ICBMs over that. So it's just a game of how much they can get away with.

He of all people has earned a retirement, but I'm still thankful that he'll be around to add a voice of sanity.

Maybe running a political party off of hate wasn't such a good idea.

I'd take RCV over nothing, but STAR and approval are significantly better like the other user said.

Some reasons for approval

• Addition is the only math involved. So it is extremely easy to get live results during counting. It makes auditing votes extremely easy.
• It is dead simple to understand, so the least amount of voters will be confused by it.

A longer form explanation of some of the other stuff:

That's not really the point.

The higher the turnout, the better. It's easy for them to do a repeat of the 2000 election. But not if there is a wide enough margin.

"We got caught by the public, and we want to keep this excuse possible in the future. So we're dropping it from now so the court doesn't set a legal precedent that will fuck us over."

I think the "weird" attribution has a way of infecting his supporters as well.

If you support a criminal, that doesn't necessarily make you a criminal. If you support a corrupt politician, that doesn't make you a corrupt politician.

But if you support somebody weird? Well that makes you weird. Trump's weirdness infects you. It's the cheese touch of politics.

And IIRC, he only did so through siphoning off the value of free facebook/craigslist furniture.

It sucks that the only reporting on this is shitty tabloids.

I feel like this article is really missing out the part where oil interests are intentionally funding hatred of other modes of transportation. The PragerU video on "The War on Cars" is a good example. They are funded by oil companies, and this is public information that is easy to find. And they use that platform to prevent other modes of transportation from being safe or viable.

Our planet becoming nearly uninhabitable or uninhabitable with millions if not billions of people dying seems like a bigger problem. But then again spreading hate about the LGBTQ+ is more important to the spokesperson for 'god'.
