Most likely the weight difference would be the biggest issue here.

Same reason why to scale bug wings wouldn't let you fly, that square cube law can lead to some very unfun conclusions where big beasties are concerned.

Or some absolutely terrifying ones in Shin Godzilla's case.

Of course there's the best option which is an non-occupancy tax that goes up exponentially for each additional property you're sitting on for speculation.

That right there would be a hard counter to wallstreet hoovering in the housing market.

Forget german tanks making way to moscow by itself, I'm now shitting myself thinking of the ramifications of the giant-ass hole Israel'd have blown through the caucuses to be beelining it over land!

The Jewish Homeland argument has gone full irredentism and now we've got a revived Khazar Khaganate!

This has actually been studied

Anti-Authoritarians and Moderates view it as best to be seen as Anti-Authoritarians, Authoritarians view it best to be seen as Moderates.

They literally view opportunistic claiming of the center not just as a political tool but as a social survival tactic to not be ostracized for their bullshit.

Thanks I hate it.

Yeah, and that's not needed when the senate can perform that role just as well and also be a more functioning version of itself for it.

There is no need for a singular focalpoint of elected power.

"LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

There would be no independent executive branch, the very concept inevitably endangers democratic systems by creating a person with a lot of power who inherently is going to view any disagreement of course of action from the people's representatives as an obstacle to be gotten around.

Or have you missed all the headlines about the over reliance reliance on executive orders over the past decade and change? Not to mention how the fiat veto was never intended but instead the result of Andrew Jackson just deciding he didn't have to give congress a reason why their laws were being treated with the same energy as shit that was at a minimum arguably unconstitutional up to that point.

The independent executive is a leach that parasitically sucks power away from the elected representatives of the people, and imposes "checks" on their powers that not only are entirely unneeded, but actively endanger the health of the republic.

Everywhere that's tried american style democracy since the US formed has collapsed in dramatic fashion, everywhere else that's gone with a parliamentary system has at worst had periods of endangerment, mostly caused by a parliamentary leader trying to get the powers of an american style president, gestures wildly at Orban and Erdogan

Basically for a race with multiple open seats, just keep repeating the "compare the top two rated candidates" step filling each seat with the winner of the comparison until all seats are filled, doesn't just fill seats though, because the win matrix can also be used as a list of succession in case of recalls or deaths or resignations that'd leave a vacancy.

We'd see a lot of districts seat all dems and reps at the outset, but over time you'd see a much more diverse cast and a much less party hierarchy controllable process.

Being economically fucked over doesn't make you not a racist dirtbag, especially when you keep voting for the racist dirtbags who have done nothing for you except validate racist dirtbag behavior.

Like seriously, it's pretty fucking hard to beat the racism allegations when that's literally the only possible draw the people you keep electing could possibly have.

These people vote against their own economic interests, and they see it as the price they pay to feel like they can defend saying the N-Word at the dinner table this thanksgiving.

My big wish is multi-winner STAR where possible.

Doesn't just make viable 3rd parties a reality, but makes it incredibly likely for them to get a leg into the race a lot sooner.

Instituting it at the congressional level can also eliminate the traditional stresses of coalition building that affect other multi-partisan democracies, because now when the government experiences a no confidence vote and the leader has to resign, we don't need new elections and new coalition talks, just go back to the original coalition vote results and promote the next guy in charge into the officer position that was vacated, voilà, new governing coalition ready to go.

6 or 7, tried pegging with my GF, wasn't offended enough by the experience to turn down her being giddy about doing it again.

Mildly worried that she's buying something brand new specifically to use on me.

We also get thirds every so often when we want to have an occasion
