Democratic US Sen. John Fetterman joined nearly every Republican senator on Tuesday in voting against a resolution that would have required the Trump administration to produce an unclassified report on Israeli abuses in the illegally occupied West Bank, including the imprisonment and killing of Palestinian Americans. The resolution, led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), narrowly failed 47-51…

    Eh, not necessarily. My dad became maga after his TBI. He was just a garden variety fiscal conservative before (because he's a financial advisor).

    But he's also a diagnosed narcissist with an attachment disorder, so who knows

    Everyone should've known during his campaign, as he endorsed fracking unreservedly. As I did, as an anti fracking activist.

    The problem is, he squeezed through the primary, then was against doc oz. A man who made fetterman look positively sane in comparison.

    The primary system and ordinal voting gave us this jackass, and many more of them.

    Ranked choice avoids this. Which can pass in the 30 some states with voter sponsored ballot initiatives.

    Ranked Choice does not in fact solve anything and is in fact an ordinal voting system.

    It too suffers from Arrows Impossibility Theorem.

    Which is par for a system first invented and abandoned in 1785.

    Cardinal voting systems are the only way to fix things long term.

    Basically ordinal systems are built around the word "or". You can support A or B and you must choose.

    Cardinal systems are based around the word "and". You can show the exact same level of support for multiple candidates, because in the end if there are two or three good candidates, who cares what order they're in, just so long as one of them wins.

    Approval, Score, and STAR are all good options. STAR was even designed this century with computer modeling and a modern understanding of social choice theory.

    I do realize there are even better systems, none of them have any play now, and ranked choice keeps people like Sarah Palin out of government.

    Germany has an interesting system, but we could never do that here outside of a few states maybe.

    There have been so many fuckups with ranked choice elections for me to ever recommend them.

    Also, Palin acted as a spoiler candidate in that election. Which is still a thing in ranked choice.

    Look how easy it was to get a conservative in the dems. Voters fell for that rigged shit. “Stroke” my ass, this shit was planned. Amerikkka drinks this drama like a sugar energy drink.

    Bernie Sanders even endorsed and rallied with him.

    This conspiracy goes really high if Bernie is an undercover conservative too.

    Bernie fell for it, he’s not in on it. They (dems) don’t all have to be in on it or it’s not a thing. He’s a plant. A mole. A fake. Undercover cunt. Secret Republican. Etc.

    Considering his long career, Bernie would be the worst conservative operative.

    Don't get me wrong, I like and respect Bernie for his integrity and leadership. But he is just a pressure release valve, allowed to be in government, to make progressives think they have a voice in government.

    Considering he's had a long career and hasn't started a movement he may be the best.

    It's most definitely started movements, what are you talking about?

    Bernie has been at the heart of many political movements, he just won't take corporate and Israeli money. Should tell you something

    nope, your false dichotomy was chosen by the dnc. they wanted a candidate that appeased their donners, and so they flew too close to the sun as the line separating an establishment democrat and a republican is indistinguishable.

    the dnc must be taken to task for their complicity in the machinations of the rnc
