All Israeli’s have to do military service and they get a bonus afterwards that they often use for travel. Thailand was full of Israeli kids when I went. Would be awesome if Thailand did the same.

Uh, $61B to Ukraine. $26B to Israel. That’s not expensive? The entire foreign aid bill was $95B. That’s just this bill. They’ve already been sending billions this year.

This isn’t funny money we’re playing with.

The 2024 budget for dept of education this year was $90B. Dept of health and human services got $144B.

Philippines assuming the US is gonna back them up here. And they might, but Ukraine and Israel are expensive. Wish they’d spend some of that money on American people.

Jesus. This sounds bad. I presume the cenotes are not a viable source of water?

venusaur, to world in ‘Not genocide’ says Biden after ICC warrants sought
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

I think what we believe to be genocide is actually a byproduct of Zionism. They’d kill whomever was living on that land, but since they’re Muslim it’s easier to justify and looks like genocide.

It’s cuz other leaders want to do the same and don’t want the precedent set

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
