@crispius pretty sure the only way we're getting accountability is if america decides to start having a general strike until we get accountabliity.

1) flock gives free access to ice
2) kneel harder you kneeling shit
3) ain't no one gonna punish these folks when they're lying. Which they are.

@skry @petergleick This is the correct way.

LA times is still oligarch media.

If it's owned by an oligarch or an aristocrat, or if it republishes articles by an oligarch or an aristocrat, you should never pay attention. No matter how interesting or even good the article is.

The NYT especially is good at employing a few good journalists to make sure people stay hooked but making sure their overall narrative is oligarch supporting trash.

@dangillmor The NYT is aristocrat propaganda and no one should read it.

Sulzberger dictates their narrative.

@SeanCasten Thank you for responding! Yeah, I know the folks that do the math tend to be really worried about that but I'd be curious to see how it worked out if we tried it at scale.

But also, I'm not too worried about a second round, although I get that gets into cost.

My layman's impression just watching the world, though, is that multi-member districting seems to come with some severe polarization issues of it's own, whereas the evidence we have is 1-person RCV seems to encourage work

@SeanCasten I saw that! It was great!

I used to be a big fan of proportional rep and multi-member district, but I'm watching Europe's parliaments get totally deadlocked and not be able to keep government running, and I'm wondering if multi-member isn't helping.

Has anyone tried something like the US system but just with RCV*?

* By RCV, I mean any modern voting system, I'm not picky... approval, condorcent, ranked, whatever...they're all better.
