  • Did you compile and use that on your phone or are you using the app in the app store?

  • Do we know how it does that. Signal is praised for security, but a lot of things it does feel iffy and don't make me trust it.

  • To add to that. Russian government was demanding to be able to access messages or will ban Telegram in the country.

    Did not hear anything beyond that, but Telegram continues to operate there.

  • I normally was recommending RCV, but today someone mentioned STAR which is like RCV 2.0. The RCV works flawlessly with 2 parties, but as the number of candidates grows and they are equally viable then actually the less preferred candidate might win, because people place candidates in different order. This can cause candidates that might otherwise win, be eliminated too early.

    STAR essentially works like RCV, but you give candidates "stars" (1 to 5 rating) and you can have multiple candidates ranked on the same level (of you like both equally).

    Any idea why STAR might not be good?

  • Exactly. You want other parties? Make your state switch to RCV first.

    Mathematically First Past The Post always locks up to 2 parties and this can't be fixed without switching to something else (RCV is best, as it gives you provide your first choice (your favorite small party candidate), but you can also specify 2nd, 3rd etc choices as a backup making sure your vote doesn't spoil and you won't get someone you definitively don't want.

  • That's how spoiler effect work (another technique used by Republicans to kill the vote of anyone who otherwise would work against them).

    If you want to make 3rd party a real option, push your local politicians to adopt Ranked Choice Voting, like Alaska and Maine did.

    Voting for Jill Stein or Cornell West with First Past The Post (current system) has the same effect as not voting at all.

    Those people don't register enough popularity to even be eligible for a debate, there's a snowball in hell chance of them even winning a single county.

    Also Jill Stein was cooperating with Kremlin in 2016 election and helped trump by squashing some votes for Hillary.

    Edit: best demonstration how GOP uses 3rd party candidates is this election for spoiler effect.

    RFK Jr declared that he was running (I guess that were going that his last name will steal some Democrats). As stats were showing that he actually was pulling trump's voters away, he just suspended his campaign and of course endorsed trump (hoping that his voters will switch back to him).

    Don't get fooled, until we replace FPTP, 3rd party candidate has mathematically no chance of winning and voting 3rd party is pretty much same as voting for GOP. Whatever you can say about Republicans their party ALWAYS votes on every election (including those smaller every 2 years), and Democrats only win if their base bothers to show up.

  • Gerrymandering and in fact any tampering is most effective when turnout is low.

    If turnout is unusually high it actually can backfire turning very red counties into blue (they gerrymander by spreading people in heavily red counties to neighboring blue ones just enough to turn then red, so the margins are much smaller)

  • I'm assuming you are from California. The map is from 2019. Currently California's minimum is $16 and fast food workers now have a minimum of $20, so almost double of that.

  • California since then increased minimum wage to $16 and fast food workers have a special minimum wage of $20.
