Liberals, Conservatives, and any voter in between (especially newly registered, young voters, or undecided voters) should please just take the 10 mins and listen to this. It is super insightful and non partisan.

Next up is deciding if I should work on a new feature, create a good front-end or improve documentation. Anyone willing to tell me what I should start on?

There are also sensible "savings provisions" so that, for example, if there are 5 candidates and a ballot has one to four on it and the fifth box is blank, it gets counted.
It's also very rare for a candidate not in the top three after first preferences to win.
It's a good #voting system IMHO.

I guess this shouldn't be a surprise as an #actuallyautistic #lgbtqia2 person to see this kind of thing happening... especially when Elon's own daughter is trans and is disown her father.
Can we start talking about parental privilege yet?

The Supreme Court’s decision in Allen v. Milligan on June 8 appears to be a win for voting rights, however, its longevity is still in question.

Whether it's a so-called #democracy or a corporate #bureacracy, there are always "correct" ways to do things. But what if that never seems to get you any results?
As #EmmaGoldman might say, "If #voting changed anything, they'd make it #illegal."

TX - where liberal votes go to die. State is passing several laws meant to overturn Houston's votes; the only county with so many (liberal) voters.

Such variations are extremely common in #GreatBritain and competent #electioncampaigners can work them to their advantage.

"Allowing incarcerated people to vote wouldn’t be a revolutionary act, but a reparatory one for a long history of oppression of communities we see over-represented in the penal system."

Which brings me - at last! - to the other part of her claim -namely that losing some people from #Labour #headquarters after 2017 affected performance in 2019.
Curiously enough it may have done so. This is because some of them appear to have gone on to work on the #tactical #voting websites referred to. If they were as professional as claimed then presumably they would have known that their advice was #misleading.

53 followers · 1047 posts · Server union.placeThe #Conservatives would still have won in the absence of that #Misinformation but by rather less seats than they did. So it was not immediately consequential.
However that experience makes me in particular - and probably others - deeply distrustful of any future initiatives involving #tactical #Voting. Missing out on twenty seats would matter a lot in most likely scenarios!

115 followers · 193 posts · Server union.placeThis piece is really great. #Progressives and people concerned about the #ClimateCrisis should read this piece and internalize it. We need to start telling new stories about #ClimateChange; focus on making the #future better, even marginally; and maintain perspective over what’s happening and how we can valuably contribute to addressing it in tangible ways - not primarily through our personal choices/consumption but through #advocacy, #organizing, and #voting.
