I believe you dropped an important "not"

Ah, in my mind there was an odd number of EC electors so an even split wasn't possible without 3rd party electors.

How is a third party winning any EC delegates?

I'm not suddenly about to put a Harris billboard on my lawn

Do they have billboards saying "reluctantly voting Harris out of necessity"?

The distinction between "government regulation" on one hand and "community-devised rules, local monitoring and graduated sanctions for rule violations" on the other seems entirely artificial to me. In both cases rules and enforcement are set up to avoid the tragedy. The latter just uses more feel-good words to describe local government.

It turns out the diversity is coming from inside the house.

If you get a sane voting system out of all this then it just might have all been worth it. But it's not how I would have gone about getting there...

The two party system is an inevitable consequence of the FPTP election system. Replace that, and you can have multiple parties. Otherwise, you might get a short period of chaos with multiple parties which then settles down to the two winners.

Right, so you're just arbitrarily changing words. That's very nice.

That seems to be what they're doing here too. It reads almost normal to me except for not writing out "ðe" fully which is pointlessly jarring.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Why do you persist in writing "ð" rather than "ðe" for "the"? And... Do you really say æsþetic and not æstetic? Where are you from to do that?

FWIW, do not support, even as a brother up north. English spelling is broken but there are more glaring problems to fix first.

They're still missing the "e" from "ðe". That's what bothers me.
