- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 3 days ago:
Right, but without districts you could have ranked choice of voting so the farmers in central California can vote for candidates that they want to represent them and all of their votes should be able to elect those candidates. Meanwhile, people who vote in other regions should have enough votes to elect candidates of their choosing.

From reading the comments of others I’ll say it seems like I’m pretty uninformed about how the actual process works. But what i meant was that if there are 6 electoral votes and each candidate wins 50% if the votes in the state then they both get 3 electrical votes. If there are 8 electoral votes and someone wins 27% if the vote they get 2 votes, not all or nothing

Good point but for presidential elections, electrical districts don’t make any sense. You could just use the total votes for the whole state to allocate electoral votes. Also, if the districts are being manipulated to provide a skewed election result then are the districts really groups of people with similar needs?

Why do votes need to be done by district? Just do it statewide
- Comment on History is best told as a story of organised crime 1 week ago:
Throughout history society has collapsed over and over again either by mismanagement or by overthrow of the ruling class. It’s a natural cycle that we seem to be trying to change- Revolt has been mischaracterized and criminalized in an attempt to maintain the status quo. But things weren’t always like this.

“The Gotham platform can link together various police databases and automatically analyze their contents. Critics point out however that the software is a “black box” – how it functions is not clearly known.”

- Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should 4 weeks ago:
It says to turn it off you open the Gemini app on your Android phone and change some settings. I uninstalled the Gemini app completely. I wonder if it’s still running on my account somehow.
- Comment on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme 1 month ago:
This poor guy was abused and it speaks terribly about the nature of the U.S. There are so many people willing to beat and abuse other people for no other reason than they are given a green light to do so. It’s pretty disgusting. People are afraid to voice criticism. When I criticize the U.S. it’s because I believed all of the things I was told as a kid that were only partly true, that it’s a great county. When people criticize the U.S. they are holding it to a higher standard, they want it to be better. If you can’t take criticism you’re weak and it shows you don’t want to improve or make corrections.

- Comment on Fans spot bizarre mistake on Disneyland poster... sparking theories the company used AI to create it 1 month ago:
“It began after an X (formerly Twitter) user who goes by Nintega Dario posted an image zoomed-in on Mickey Mouse’s left hand on the poster, which he captioned, ‘AI generated.’
The beloved character’s hand appeared to have five fingers, despite the character famously having only four. His left hand, however, had the right amount of fingers.”

How can you do anything if you’re detained by ICE? If you have your birth certificate or passport in a safety deposit box you can’t access it when you are detained.
