I’m confused. How did these people own their homes if they had a second mortgage owed?

It’s Dubrovnik, Croatia

That’s pretty low. Based on prices in my neighborhood I assumed median was easily over $1M.

Do they have separate housing for sex offenders?

But do they have a separate place for them to go?

Yeah maybe make separate housing first. Maybe tattoo their foreheads also. Ankle monitor so people are notified when they enter areas they’re not supposed to be in.

The entire world would have to work together to map the brain at this rate.

Stop sending money to Israel, or forgive student debt, or vehemently support RCV and reformation of the electoral college and restricting stock trading by members of the government.

Tell your politicians to support RCV legislation:

Fair Representation Act p2a.co/ZraNU5n

Voter Choice Act p2a.co/9OZd4JL

We would have to dismantle capitalism entirely and a huge cultural shift to fix that. Huge spending caps on campaigns would be a good start.

RCV allows people to vote for candidates of a third party without wasting a vote like they would now. The problem is that much of society is brainwashed with red vs. blue politics and it would take a long time for everybody to get on the same page about a third party candidate.

is it just RCV with 5 rankings, or you rank every candidate?

venusaur,
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

Most people would still give A and B 5’s or 4’s, so C still loses even if they get all 4’s, no?

Ah right assuming A and B are opposing candidates. Kind of a way to eliminate the most popular opposing candidates in a runoff assuming there is a middle of the road candidate that everybody likes.

In RCV this might be translated differently tho. Maybe 26% vote C #1, 49% A #1, 25% B #1 with C #2, then in runoff, C would win.

I don’t see everybody liking the same candidate for #2.

Is anybody using Star voting now? I just feel like it can be gamed. If you want your major candidate to win, you wouldn’t rank anybody else highly.

Thanks for the video. I totally agree that there are other voting systems like approval voting that may be better, but lots of traction with RCV already. Can be a stepping stone to other voting systems. Perfect is the enemy of good enough. Gotta take baby steps.

I agree but I don’t think it’s sexy or emotional enough to get people in the streets. It definitely should appeal to BLM and pro-Palestinian crowd, but it’s not gonna get people fired up like “stop killing people” will.

I’m going to start canvassing for it locally and see where it goes from there. I think given the two candidates we’re stuck with for the upcoming election we’re ripe for a change like this.

Please also tell your senator to support the Voter Choice Act to help fund the transition to RCV.
