A few weeks ago, I'd have agreed with you, but now? The Democratic party that just lost 10 million votes.. We'll spoil that party? The one that just lost a fair election to a convicted felon? You want to protect them from being spoiled?

We have 4 years, which is, again, the most time we'll ever get to try something like this because that's how 4 year election cycles work. What is it exactly that they're doing successfully you don't want to spoil?

It's "moo".

Oh, I'm all for ranked choice voting, but in order for it to have any meaning we also need a plurality of parties. They also need time to build and I'm sure these two would start a good one if allowed.

Although the likelihood of political parties having any weight at all past January is anyone's guess..

Or maybe they should just leave the Democratic party and start a new progressive party? We have less than 4 years, but that's also the most time we'll ever have.

Because there's no "wrong" answer in an experiment. AKA no accountability.

I still have hope... just not for America. I can make somewhere else better.

'Decline to answer' is a valid option for those people and they don't get included in these polls.

You're making speculations as to why they voted the way they said they did, but that's unknowable. Your guess is just as good as mine, which is why it's rude to assume yours is the right guess.

So, you don't trust any poll where people self-report the information?

You don't mean that. You're just saying that in order to maintain your standing in your community.

.. see how rude that is to just assume people are lying about themselves as if you know better?

Exit polls - voluntary responders only

Exactly. They're DEALING WITH the far right. They haven't just handed they keys to the country over.

There's still a chance for them.

The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.

"The garage door broke." "Ah, fuck." - Fine "You fuck." - Not acceptable

If you get a written warning, it's probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.

I remember getting a hand-me-down digital 'black book' to store phone numbers during the age of the palm pilot. It had a 'dial' button and a speaker on the back. You could pick up the phone, put the speaker against the phone's mouthpiece and it would 'dial' by playing the correct tones. Blew. My. Mind.
