Among other issues, I'm a little annoyed that this indictment doesn't know how Bluesky handles work. I can figure out what he meant, but it could theoretically lead to confusion if it were an account like mine and he dropped the ".im".

My question is, how to we best mobilize to oust the current leadership and replace them with someone better? They may be unpopular with the base, but they are popular with other senators whose votes they need.
Sooooo...put pressure on Senators not to vote for them?

Well, you've piqued my curiosity. What are you talking about?

The premise of the question is that you had already made it to a courthouse.

Glad to see the left has our own version of sovcit legal reasoning, with the same "outsmart the law with one simple trick" thinking but a much higher probability of death.

Well, for starters, you would probably be tried in federal court, so I don't know how much it would matter what the state laws were.

I think some of it is misdirected anger at elected officials who do silly stunts instead of something substantive. Like the Democrats selling tacos at the RNC or whatever is infuriating when they have actual power, but we don't need to take it out on a random protestor at the No Kings rally.

Have you found an answer to this? I hate it too.

Any Latin experts know how to translate "White Sox"?

I was briefly hopeful for him, like I was briefly hopeful for Logan Paul after he spoke up for BLM and defended Harry Styles wearing a dress.
I need to stop doing this to myself.

"Because...*pause*...we gotta get it right"
I bet ya ten quid he was tempted to say "because you'll have to get used to saying it soon" and only didn't out of respect for the other non-Cuomo candidates.

Don't worry, he'll come up with a plan to brutally troll Kristi Noem with a witty hashtag.

I don't know what causes it and if it's intentional, but I find that my custom feeds frequently miss posts from users.

In fairness to Ea Nasir, at least sub-par copper is still actual copper, unlike this.

Obverse should be the beaver by itself, and the reverse should be a stump from a tree a beaver chewed through.

If Newsom somehow harnesses the publicity from this to win the Democratic primary I am going to scream.

Honestly kinda surprised he didn't go with "The X Party", given how obsessed he is with that letter. And it would be (slightly) more distinctive than "America Party".

Theoretically, it would be completely constitutional for states with multiple districts to switch to STV (or even proportional for large states like California).

Do you say it "GHEE-o-teen" or "GILL-o-teen"?

See, I would parse that as implying there's like, a non-escalating way to be nude in court.

In terms of "how", you could either upload an image yourself or post it somewhere public with a statement that it's released under CC-BY (or whatever) and I'll add it. Just make sure you do own the copyright for it (not necessarily the case if someone else took the picture).

(TL;DR: he's lying about wishing he hadn't resign; he did so to avoid greater public scrutiny.)

None of the news articles I've seen so far have mentioned it. I suspect they are going off the statement from the police.
His husband's story was posted about an hour and half ago. Hopefully news outlets will start picking that up soon.

If you want the technical term (to do further research), instant-runoff voting is not a Condorcet method (it won't necessarily select a candidate who would beat every other candidate in a head-to-head race).

Dang. It's a definite limitation of US reliance on machine-readable ballots. Portland's elections only let you rank six.
comment in response to

From reading other comments it looks like you are limited to five votes. Is that correct?

Does the NYC primary system let you rank every candidate, or are you only given a limited number of slots?

What a way to be.

Being willing to do the right thing when you are fully aware of the potential legal risks is a genuinely admirable form of courage.
Not bothering to understand what those legal risks or thinking you can outwit the law is foolishness.
Duping others into taking the fall is just asshole behavior.

Encouraging people to do something that might have severe negative personal consequences for them *without being forthcoming and accurate about those consequences* is reprehensible, regardless of good intentions.

Future-proofing? If the issue is ultimately, "this is something that makes sense for any large city" this saves them from having to pass a new law in fifty years if the population of Eugene triples.

So when I tried it myself, I also got the same result, except it cited the University of Sussex, which makes the same claim.
