The Year 2100
  • Yes.

    Also, anything that isn't ranked choice voting that allows people to specify an order of preference at time of vote is not good politics and is not going to, and shouldn't, sit well with progressives. Tit-for-tat is additionally an issue that many voters and progressives consider objectionable (source: exit polls). You can call it basic politics if you want, but if you're progressive you'll need to accept that it's going to continuously cause us to lose elections and bleed voter support. People are clearly tired of establishment politics. Trump has proven that twice. Running as an anti-establishment candidate both times and winning, both times.

  • The Year 2100
  • That is simply not true. Stop spreading misinformation. In addition I did not claim they made the decision for each candidate. What they did was run a first-past-the-post cacus that allowed candidates with conflicting interests to allocate their political weight against a clearly popular candidate. If they'd done ranked choice voting from the start, it would not be an issue, instead they allowed candidates (like Bloomberg) to spend millions, gather significant support, and then cast that support to a vastly unpopular candidate. You're literally trying to argue Hillary was a good candidate with the best chance of winning but both polls, exit polls, and the caucus itself showed that not to be the case. Without the collaborative actions against Bernie by the other candidates allowed by the DNC Hillary would've never headlined the 2016 ticket.

  • The Year 2100
  • Did they change the vote totals?:

    Yes. Every running candidate next to Bernie pulled out, dedicating their votes to Clinton instead. It was blatant and out in the open. Hell, Bloomberg even "entered" the race late in caucusing and pulled out shortly after an insane ad spend dedicating his votes to Clinton as well. That's "putting their 👍 on the scale".

  • The Year 2100
  • That would be every running primary candidate shifting their votes towards Hillary instead of distributing them evenly. In addition there was the Bloomberg run "out of nowhere" when Bernie was looking to be the headline candidate.

  • The only thing I like about Trump: he gives the game away. He says the quiet parts out loud. just come right out and tell everyone he's bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs
  • I feel this is mostly true, and I say that because people champion Biden as pro LGBT yet I, as a member of LGBT, specifically remember a younger Biden on the news saying gay marriage was settled law and nobody should be worried about or believe in it; That marriage was between a man and a woman and that's how the US population wanted it. It didn't make me feel great back then.

    That being said... I still don't like what Trump says out loud, and I hope our country makes it through another 4 years of it...

  • 💡 Matter Lights!
  • There's a difference between Matter (the interoperability standard) and Thread (The preferred matter communication protocol) and you'll see a lot of devices advertised as "Matter over thread" which is important because for those you'll need a matter bridge device to act as an edge router for the mesh "thread" network the devices create. These can be had cheaply though and if you're one of the like 1 in 3 Americans with an iPad you already own one.

  • Hue do be having that "it just works" track record. Which is absolutely divine magic in my opinion because if you took one small look at their back end infrastructure stack you'd never imagine it could be... Reliable... Somehow? Like.. Look at this...
