That would make sense

Yeah what is it with 2023 and enshittification? This has been such a bad year in general

Agreed. The best thing is, only one state needs to adopt proportional representation for sending reps to Congress for it to have an impact. Even a small new party with a dozen seats is likely to be a tie breaker.

It’s because the election system is First Past the Post. If they changed it to Ranked Choice Voting, all candidates from both primaries (plus independents) could run in the election and it would be up to the public to decide which of them is best, with their vote going to a fallback candidate if their favourite doesn’t win.

The US sorely needs at least one state to adopt PR for sending Representatives to Washington.

Very well argued. This is quite unrelated but just out of interest, how realistic do you see constitutional reform in the US?

I like this because I can see the bee in it (when I know it’s meant to be a bee) but I think it’s lacking some more defined features because currently at a glance it just looks like a region of colour.

To add to this, iirc Labour said their policy would be to closely mirror EU regulation in most areas unless there was a good reason not to

I got the king Kong Mini 2. The opposite of a brick (it’s tiny), probably US compatible, and the back literally has screws on it for when you need to change the battery/sim. Also £80

I think one of the reasons we might be discussing Reddit so much is because it’s the one unifying topic that everyone on here can relate to.

What did it predict?

Prime examples being the stuff around Brexit or Roe v Wade

Is he like another spez?

I’d love to visit Svalbard, or another remote northern locaiton, too. Is Svalbard the one with the abandoned Russian coal mining settlement?

Oh sorry to hear that :-( I feel very lucky now that it just seemed to click for me
