  • I don’t really care what flavor of election system you think is the right one.

    You’re against logic and reason?

    However you square it, you can have shit candidates win popular mandates. There is no system that’ll keep people you don’t like out of office, shy of a dictatorship that puts you in charge.

    I’m not interested in a system that will keep people I don’t like out of office. I’m interested in a system that represents the will of the people, rather than the will of a select rich and powerful few.

    If you’re willing to care, you might find one.

    Suggesting it? Thirteen states have now banned ranked-choice voting as municipalities decide on whether to adopt it

    I don’t see the problem here, like I said, it’s worse than FPTP.





  • Not OP but I found this on wiki:

    The WSWS described the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine as a coup backed by the United States and Germany in which the Ukrainian far-right coalition of organizations Right Sector and political party Svoboda would have played a “crucial role”.[13] Furthermore, the WSWS criticized the coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014 by the majority of German media outlets, describing it was one-sided and “anti-Russian propaganda”. Thus, leading outlets such as Der Spiegel and Die Zeit would have been clamouring for military action against Russia and attacking the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, “who is portrayed as a new Hitler and an aggressor”.[14]

    About the shootdown of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, the WSWS stated that “Washington has presented not one shred of evidence that Flight MH17 was brought down by a missile either fired by the anti-Kiev forces or supplied by Moscow”. Regarding the assassination of Boris Nemtsov in 2015, David North wrote for the WSWS that he was wondering if the United States was planning a coup to replace Putin with a “Western-friendly oligarch”.[15] On February 22, 2022 the WSWS issued a statement opposing Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, calling for the unity of Russian and Ukrainian workers against both Putin and NATO.[16]

    Is it so hard to find a socialist organisation that isn’t just simple contrarians?
