This is a little discussed problem with fptp (along with many others) it gives minor parties perverse incentive to play spoiler, which gives foreign actors an opportunity to find spoilers.

All viable politics is harm reduction.
So I guess that means Trump must have had a secret earpiece. Or maybe a vibrating butt plug.
Too many tourists just means you need to raise hotel prices. Locals don’t pay for hotels.
This shit has been the same cycle for literally centuries. When times are good, locals hate tourism. When times are bad, the locals wonder where all the tourists money went.
In these “tourist economy” areas it’s easy to miss the fact that even if you don’t directly work in the tourist industry, there’s a ton of infrastructure and services which get propped up by that industry. I’ve been on both sides of this, as a local and a tourist, and most of the whining is privileged elitism. Every local knows how to avoid tourists, and every local has also been frustrated by something being closed in the off season. Connect those dots and stop complaining.
In most cases if you are a tourist and are accused of minor crimes you just get deported unless you’ve done something else more serious. Detaining someone on a short term visa is awkward (what if their passport expires while in custody?) and kicking them out of the country accomplishes the same thing as jailing them.
There’s a reason why countries with proper transit infrastructure view alcoholism as a novelty.
As the movie industry discovered, it’s a dice roll in terms of pissing off the censors. Hard to invest millions when something as stupid as a map can get your game banned.
Any time you hear someone openly supporting Trump at work, make an anonymous report to HR. Make it everyone’s problem.
The biggest miss at the debate was Harris not reminding everyone how Trump was bullying the fed chair on Twitter when everyone said it was time to start raising interest rates.
In general, the distinction between populism and technocracy needs to be front and center. This is a very easy example.
Some of them are also “goldfish voters.” These people only engage with whatever political message has been delivered to them most recently. They literally can go from D to R and back again bumper sticker to bumper sticker.
Then there are the obligate ego independents. Their only political belief is that they must vote for both parties some of the time. If they voted D last time then they will probably vote R this time. Because their identity is “independent” so they must manifest that, all reason be damned.

Bruh you are literally a fucking NEET at this point you have nothing to do but make plans.
Castrate the unmarried illegal immigrants, for Jesus!
More like 90/10 and that’s a very generous 10%. Trump has literally said nothing of substance or consequence. He is a foreign agent, spreading both very stupid and very treasonous propaganda on a national stage he has no business on.
Right, in a sane world, Trump has been proving himself unfit to hold any more responsibility than a burger flipper for decades now. The fact that anyone could possibly be on the fence about him at this point means the game is already lost.
Republicans understand that projecting faultless confidence is an advantage in a head to head race.
Democrats… And those who claim to be Democrats… Seems to believe that passing through a labyrinth of strife and tribulation is somehow an advantage. Vetting candidates with fire only makes sense if you are in an environment where good faith prevails.
Right. The entire idea that the state of western democracy rides on a farcical “debate” involving one of the most uniquely detestable humans on the planet is complete insanity. The fact that there even exists a single person in the world who could possibly be swayed by what happens on this stage means reason and good sense are as dead as they can possibly be.
This is just not true. Places which are doing RCV are literally state at metro democratic strongholds. Democrats are literally the only ones pushing it.
