@georgetakei the solution to the problem that is the bird site is to stop talking about the bird site. Let it die a death of attrition.
@mollyjongfast people using the "x app" in bored tunnels doesn't sound like my idea of a good time.
@kabrams that's not just tedious. That's violence.
All I want to do is not see reblogs. I do not think that is a native ability on the Mastodon app. Do any of the other Android apps have this feature?

@BlueDot there are folks out there who claim that RCV can violate "monotonicity" but I think they're all blowing smoke. These are the people who think Begich should have won in Alaska.

@BlueDot their preferences may have come out differently in a non RCV election. Maybe Garcia would have come out differently in a non RCV campaign and hit people differently.

This was a partisan primary, so it's not as easy as saying dems will always vote for Dems and repubs will always vote for repubs. Like a nonpartisan race it's more nuanced.

@BlueDot the thing you gotta remember about these after election analyses is that the campaign matters. I think it's wrong to think that, for example, Adams's voters would have always chosen their second ranking over their third automatically in a head to head race between the two. So the whole Condorcet thing is a bit wishy washy to me.

I think the only thing you can tell from the records of an election is who won that election, not who would have won in a different election in an alternate universe.

@jwalk1230 I was holding on to hope it would be 3.5. not out of any statistical analysis, mind you. Just blind optimism.

@motherindie because we in Tennessee have little else to worry about, it seems.

I give this legislation a 75/25 chance of passage. Small hope remains that it might not get out of committee, especially if any lawsuits start flying.
