a lot of the people complaining on twitter are not even gamedevs and don’t know what Godot is

You’re probably right. Homophobes aren’t the brightest of the bunch.

  • Corps and foreign investors shouldn’t be able to own housing (multi unit should be co-op/market rate nonprofits)

  • Individuals should not be able to own more than 5 homes. (The number is semi arbitrary, but at a certain point it is very clearly hoarding, and therefore shouldn’t be allowed)

  • AirBNB and similar should be heavily regulated. (They turn permanent residences into short term, which reduces capacity, and drives up prices all around)

  • Shift to a land value tax system as the primary means of tax collection. What few landlords/scalpers exist after the above changes will have even less room to breathe. And it would punish vacancy, which would put pressure to keep as much housing available as possible.

There may need to be some exceptions. But if changes like this were to occur, we wouldn’t have this problem.

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:

Maybe next time leave the ladder behind instead of taking it with you.

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.

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.

“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.”
