Did Newsom take a rightward lean once he started getting groomed for a president run or has he always been this bad? I feel like every time I hear about him nationally hes doing something scummy like that or rounding up homeless people.

If anyone gets upset at that, start saying 'Oh trans masc' instead of 'oh boy' until they leave you alone forever.

Oof. Imagine dying for a vanity project to white wash genocide.

And compost the scraps

Nope, not even a little. Seems it was just a formality that never meant anything.

Wild, thanks for the input, think im gonna try and read a little more about this and other rcv initiatives. Would love to be able to understand how they pass and fail in case my state decides to put it on the ballot in the future.

Was it too confusing or did someone spend a lot of money playing ads that kept saying it was too confusing I wonder. I'd actually love to hear what the local ads and media around that ballot measure were like if anyone is local to Oregon.

This article is literally why. Political outsider with popular policies won, do you know how much money a voting system that does this will cost the people writing those laws?

First Ranked Choice vote.

Elect Progressive.

Other politicians: 'Okay that's enough RCV for America'

I see interests colliding in the future and I'm curious to how it plays out. Mexico is clearly going to be much less diplomatically available for Trump, so long as he keep his same rhetoric and plans going. This significantly lowers the leverage US auto makers have in lobbying Uncle Sam to use diplomacy to keep Chinese EV plants out of Mexico. Trump certainly seems to be driving Mexico toward China, and his economic moves in his first term drove China to Mexico, these bridges are already built, many of the Chinese goods that he kept out of the US simply went south.

They don't even put the answer in the title, this is peak irresponsible journalism.
