do the math, it’s not particularly difficult

well, have fun keeping R in power then

Go for it, but also vote D where they’re the only realistic option to R.

Otherwise, support for a third party becomes support for R, as previously with the greens

Who says electoral reform only happens in blue states?

The comment I replied to

Electoral reform in the blue states must happen. Red states as well but we all know republicans stance on more democracy.

Hey, if you organise but vote D in the cases where it’s the best chance to keep R out, I’m happy

If you don’t vote D in the cases where it’s the best chance to keep R out, you’re effectively supporting R regardless what you’re telling yourself. If you’re also organising, nice, but if your organising is to convince more people to effectively support R like you, we’d all be better off if you quit.

Oh no, this option isn’t perfect in every way for all people, and thus indistinguishable from being worthless?

Let the greater of two evils win until there’s a perfect option to vote for. Got it.

If you do electoral reform in just the blue states, you strengthen the republicans who will then take all of the red states, and get a bit of some blue states

I don’t really undestand what that means, which might be me just being dense

Very true, just look at Hitler and Mussolini, famously defeated by strongly worded letters and no bloodshed

Captain Hindsight, but wrong

Yeah, he doesn’t seem to have been very nice.

Still, don’t go shooting people because of religion.

It’s not like we’re limited to criticising just one thing.

(gnu) make at least used to have pretty good info pages

I really like the man pages, but they’re an encyclopedia, not a tutorial. Great for looking up specifics when you already have a foundation. Not so great when starting out

That would also be nicer than an army of people sincerely believing they’re doing the right thing by not voting

Isn’t that the same thing?

I hope they at least got paid. Doing that level of BS for free would just be sad

Sounds about right…

Cpu time is the time your process actually uses the cpu to process things, rather than waiting.

It’s often shown as a percentage in top and other performance monitors. So 10% means it’s spending 1/10th of the time actually calculating things

I have a theory a lot of people are functionally illiterate and thus prefer videos as they can’t skim well
