Thanks, well said

Where does 500 years come from? Capitalism goes back at least 3000 years, right?

The Body in the post isn’t included when federating with mastodon.

For example this post https://lemm.ee/post/62817829 has text in the body

Now, after a little more than two years, the company has packed up and left, abandoning the wells and associated crypto infrastructure in violation of state law, according to state regulators.

But when seen from mastodon it isn’t there. https://mastodon.online/@Sibshops@lemm.ee/114432974900978842

That’s an interesting perspective on things and gives me something to think about.

True, it’s just a voting system. It can’t do those things unless people vote for those things to happen.

The thing RCV does do is break us out of the control of a 2-party government. So we could have a communist party with RCV, but can’t in our current system.

How are you measuring useless?

Australia has RCV and has more than 2 active political parties.

It’s up to the states. It already implemented in Maine and Alaska, with a majority of people in those state approving of it.

It’s kind of why we need Ranked Choice Voting.

Okay, but like this is kind of a smart way to squash the paid protester conspiracy theories.

“Soros is paying people to dance against Trump.” just sounds rediculous.

This kind of thing can backfire. They will just respond with another Bible quote and now the conversation is in their area of expertise.

What’s the historical context? Like is Nazi Germany copying the restrictions put on after WW1?

Good enough reason to boycott coke products, anyway.
