It happens on the left side also.
I can't agree that it's a good thing for the voters in general to have situations where voting for your favorite helps your least favorite win, even if in this specific case it would be good for us.
That's why I like systems such as approval or score voting, but at least this reduces it slightly.
Oops, I meant the can't-run-as-independent law, not the special election thing.
It hurts us this time, but in general it actually sounds like good common sense to me, reducing one of the big flaws of first-past-the-post elections.
Edit: I was referring specifically to the "can't run as independent after losing primary" law, I meant to quote that initially but accidentally assumed the person I was replying to was also talking about it.
Better than the current leadership for sure.
America could use a leader who understands the need to tally me banana. Respect for the working class.

They sure do. Tragic how bullying ends up being passed along like that.
Regarding the last sentence, that's ship time, on earth it would be over 12 years. Someone can do the math to figure out how many earth years, but note that the ship seems to accelerate at around 1 g for half the journey, getting very close to C, then flips and decelerates for the other half.
No, but not a bad guess given what I wrote. I won't confirm or deny any more guesses though.
I've met several people from a group of furries who were 'themed' around a specific cartoon from the 1980s-90s. (I'm trying to be vague here)
They had their own internet server way back in the early dialup days, and for all I know they might still exist as a group and meet up occasionally, but I don't have any recent information.
Edit: The first two guesses were wrong, but I'm not going to confirm or deny any more of them because outing the group really isn't my goal. While not a furry myself I have seen a lot of people make fun of them or worse over the years. I wouldn't say things are getting better in that regard either.

Also why is "NIGHT SHELLS" in English?
Ah, this stuff is answered in the linked article. I hadn't seen it yet.
Anything is better than FPTP, but for ranked choice that's the only thing good about it. Far too complex and doesn't even eliminate strategic voting. Other systems are better in my opinion such as score or approval.
