  • What specifically do you feel Walz didn't do as well as Vance?

  • The same way you organize anything. Start by talking to a couple trusted coworkers to form an organizing committee. All the members of the OC need to talk to coworkers, handle workplace drama, agitate for better conditions, educate people about unions, maintain systematic campaign tracking, and fight against the boss during their union busting campaign. When I worked remotely, it was as simple as sending a dm like this:

    Hey, would you be able to talk over break? Some coworkers and I were discussing some issues and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

  • Unions generally don't write or repeal laws, but a union contract can negotiate overtime pay where there isn't any.

  • how does approval voting allow for spoilers? The experts that study election systems consider it eliminated under approval voting. It's literally impossible to be a spoiler, because there's nothing to spoil. There could be 4 real candidates and 16 no-name candidates, and nothing would prevent people from voting for 18 candidates. All of the eliminations you're concerned about happen all at once, because it's about having the most total votes. Votes for "spoilers" does literally nothing to affect the chances of other candidates.

    As for "genuine voting", how does one determine whether a vote was strategic vs genuine? Why does everyone have to conform to a ranked system that is highly susceptible to runoff upsets? I don't care if people vote strategically, because if the options are check boxes or not, strategy is very limited. STAR is based on instant runoffs with a bit of range voting mixed in. Both are highly susceptible to strategy, as well as several undesirable traits that don't exist with approval. Please explain to me how it prevents strategic voting.

  • Approval voting is where you mark any number of candidates that you want, and the person with the most marks is the elected person.

    The most important issues with a fair voting system are eliminated by this method. Strategic voting will always happen under our performative democracy, which means that all parties are pathways for getting close to the actual goal. It's only a problem if people are overly worried about genuinely "voting your truth".

  • Approval voting is the only method that meets all the requirements for a fair election without elevating an unpopular candidate.

  • Pentagon wants to give controversial white phosphorus shells to Ukraine, White House says no

    Jump

  • For all intents and purposes, white phosphorus is a chemical weapon that causes chemical burns which means it's use is highly susceptible to facilitating war crimes, even unintentionally. It's use should be banned from war.

  • I've always known and used them interchangeably, my health teacher had to update the ancient health textbooks through her lectures. This meant that when it came to the sex ed portion, we stopped using the 40 year old textbook almost entirely and used a modern bookless curriculum.
