Wrong. Democrats consistently support & pass RCV, while Republicans repeal & ban it. If you want RCV, you need to support Dems in the meantime.

Democrats pushed through RCV in all these states and North Carolina, before Republicans repealed it. If you want RCV, if you want the option of a viable third choice, you need to vote Democrat in the meantime.

Bullshit.

Yes.

You don’t know I volunteered in all local and state level elections from 1991 to 2006?

Hmm, no mentions of the DNC here…

You don’t know that I manned the phones both times for Bernie a minimum of 15 hours a month?

Hmm, no DNC mentions here…

You SHOULD know that the only influence normal people have in the DNC directly relates to how much they can donate, and hours apparently don’t equate to voice.

Hmm, no mention of you actually interacting with the DNC here…

I’m fucking turning half a century this year, you do this shit I paid my time.

So like, you haven’t tried to contact your DNC reps?

As relevant here as it is there

You know you can become a member of the DNC right? You know that you have representatives on the DNC you can contact, right? You know you have influence on the DNC if you actually choose to exercise it, right?

Democrats consistently support ranked choice voting, Republicans consistently ban & overturn RCV. If you want rights, vote for Dems. It really is that simple

Bring back SRS! I guess SLS

I don’t know if that would work for me, but that’s super interesting, thank you for sharing!

50% of the US uses Android. All android phones can text each other & iPhones by default via SMS in the US. The United States is 300 million people, and also the literal home of the Signal Foundation.

You’re right, that is a good analogy. Https used the same browser as http, and now https is widespread. Gopher needs a whole separate browser. It’s niche. Good security only works if people actually use it.

A really secure messaging system is worthless if it’s not used. SMS too insecure? Ok, change the UI to reflect that. Have an open lock symbol or eye. Notification reminders that it’s insecure & nudge to invite your friend to Signal.

Boomer parents using Signal & now it doesn’t support SMS? Congrats, now the app doesn’t work to message the majority of their contacts. The average user isn’t going to check if someone’s on signal, send them an invite, then wait to message until they get the app. They’ll just move to their (Android) default message app that literally works with all US phones. Congrats, now less signal users, gj .

I used to donate to Signal, and they made the stupidest fucking decision I’ve ever seen.

You used to be able to use signal (at least on Android) as your default messenger app, sending encrypted Signals to other users, or SMS to non-signal users. Have a normie family member who doesn’t know about computers? Easy, set it & forget it.

Now? They removed that functionality, so it only works for other signal users. Someone else had a good metaphor: imagine if http and https needed different web browsers & you couldn’t see one on the other. How well do you think https uptake would have been?

So fucking stupid.
