  1. As an Australian where we have had ranked choice for decades we think America is a joke for its gerrymandered first past the post system. I actually went to college in America and happen to think the US Constitution is one of the greatest of all human achievements but its NOT perfect and has flaws. One of those flaws is that it can be manipulated and/or taken advantage of which is the problem these days. Its not that other countries (including Australia) don't have flaws in their systems its just that right now the flaws in America's system are all BEING DRIVEN towards a major event by its insanely selfish Top 1% as in the top level of the "Greed is Good" brigade.

  2. ​ @peterhorton9063  EXACTLTY and its the one thing that conservatives around the world NEVER UNDERSTAND and if they do then they are relentlessly trying to deny it. Here in Australia right now we have a referendum on what's being called a "Voice to Parliament" for our First Nations. Its sort of based on what they did in the Scandinavian countries with the Sami people. The conservatives here are dead against it and one of their claims is that once its done it cannot be undone. The utter stupidity of that claim is its illogical. If you claim that a change to the constitution cannot be changed then how can you make the change the constitution in the first place. Its the same sort of stupidity of the American Originalists. Their claim that the EPA cannot regulate pollution unless the chemicals involved are specifically listed is idiotic. It's basically claiming that the government cannot have ANY DEPARMENT that it assigns work to without specifically detailing the work in law. Such a concept would mean its impossible for the police, fire ambulance, army, navy, air force, FDA, ATF, CIA, NSA or any other agency to do their work as assigned. Hypothetically: How does the INS decide who's illegal and who isn't unless their country of origin or racial & cultural background is SPCIFICALY listed in the legislation set down by congress? How does the CIA or NSA figure out who to spy on and how to do that spying unless congress lists it in law? How does the army, navy or air force know what to blow up unless congress lists it first in law? Conservative logic is a contradiction in terminology.
