it's not worth it until first past the post is removed.

Until then it's mathematically impossible for a third party candidate to win. Focus your energy instead on removing first past the post, then you have a chance

Because it's federated and FOSS.

Until you lose access to your password manager, of course… which is bound to eventually happen, due to hardware or software issues or loss of the device if it’s local, or due to network issues, the provider discontinuing the service, or inevitable enshittification if it’s online.

It has never happened to me and is absolutely not bound to happen, especially if it's local and backed up...

I'd rather remember one REALLY secure password than 100+ bad ones.

Complexity is practically irrelevant when compared to length when it comes to passwords. That’s the point of passphrases.

are you trolling me? I can have 20,000 character long passwords with a password manager. Length is just an aspect of complexity...

You can have a small number of passphrases and simply choose one and add a word or two based on the site. It’s trivial to “remember” an infinite number of unique passphrases if you’ve got an algorithm. 🤷‍♂️

...that makes it significantly less secure and almost defeats the purpose of unique passwords, I could have 20,000 character completely unique passwords with a password manager.

No they don't, they just feel hopeless because meaningful change should be easy because a lot of the solutions are really fucking obvious but the MAGA side of the american people are actually mentally handicapped, and the democrat side is made moderate by their existence so almost nothing ever gets accomplished and it makes it feel like nothing CAN be accomplished.

1: it will ever pass, and

https://thefga.org/research/ranked-choice-voting-partisan-plot-to-disrupt-elections/

you're wrong there, by your own reasoning, it would be hugely beneficial for the democrats to pass ranked choice.

2: the idea that if it passed, it would change anything.

Of course it would change things, you're clearly all or nothing, but the fact of the matter is ranked choice voting is OBJECTIVELY a better system, and it would allow you to actually run candidates and potentially make meaningful change. You would never have to hopelessly strategically vote and end up accomplishing nothing, you could have a socialist candidate that you could freely vote for without helping fascists. This is massive even if you refuse to acknowledge it.

Revolution is necessary, something you’d think was obvious given your username.

I agree, revolution is necessary to fix everything, but I don't think revolution is more realistic than passing ranked choice voting, because i'm not braindead. The fact is, passing ranked choice would still be of great benefit to the working class, just because it doesn't become your ideal utopia overnight doesn't mean ranked choice doesn't matter at all and isn't worth doing.

By your own logic, if no policy has ever benefitted the american people without a revolution, why did the ACA pass?

I never said it was a panacea, I said you'd be able to vote for better candidates without risk, currently it makes no sense to vote for candidates that have no chance of winning.

if it fizzles out It'll be because of republicans, that many bills in that short of a time is not insignificant

i don't understand why you're arguing against ranked choice, it's objectively and obviously better than fptp

do vou think voting jill stein has a higher chance of success even though it's mathematically impossible?

if everyone doing that instead pushed for ranked choice, maybe you'd get some actual long term results instead of just throwing your vote away

Or you could not have to remember all of that, have vastly more complex passwords, have it be significantly more convenient.

I currently have 100+ passwords stored in my password manager, do you actually expect people to remember 100+ unique phrases?

Great, it works out for the democrats, we just need it to be popular.

Do you believe no legislation has ever been passed due to public will?

It could be if enough people pushed for it, like they should, since it's objectively better in every way from first past the post, and would actually make doing things like this work.

That would make sense if there were ranked choice voting.

there isn't, though

that's not true either, nobody has bothered to port them but there's nothing stopping you, this is also not a closed wontfix for security reasons thing at all.

all you'd need to do is use layer-shell, it really wouldn't be difficult at all, but nobody cares.

edit: nvm it exists already https://sr.ht/~mstoeckl/wscreensaver/

There really isn't even one thing is there?

Ranked choice cannot do that, if it can, explain the mechanism

you're clearly misunderstanding something, conflating some terms, none of that makes sense when you know what those words mean

please watch this, make sure your understanding is correct, then come back.

...no, ranked choice prevents the spoiler effect, and therefore allows you to vote for candidates you are actually interested in without risk.

This would allow people to vote for 3rd parties without worry, and would destroy the two party system eventually.

You have no idea what you're talking about, and that's not what first past the post means.

There are some democrats that support ranked choice voting.

There are almost no republicans that do.

It is still an easy choice.
