Another thing it means is that if we had ranked choice voting, those 3rd party votes would be the deciding factor in who won the presidency.

Agreed on all points. Trump is intentionally using a legitimate but small problem to excuse and fuel his overt racism.
Anyone who has studied UX and how users move through an app knows that every step you make someone do has a huge drop off in user completion of that process.
Unfortunately that means that centralized, simple platforms will always have a distinct UX advantage over federated platforms. We have to make up for it by being simply better. (No ads is a good start.)
I 100% agree. If you read my comments you’ll see that I said we should not deport people who haven’t been found guilty of espionage. Collective punishment is evil.
Oh absolutely! Making politicians fear gun violence at a personal level is the only way to enact actual gun control policies.
In what way is it naive to say that Chinese espionage is real?
Or are you implying that we should deport all Chinese people because a handful of espionage actually happens? Because that’s morally abhorrent.
If you’re making a claim, please cite your sources.
One can always hope that Ukraine appeals to Trump’s ego. “You know that enormous bomb, the biggest non-nuclear one in the world? Wouldn’t it be AWESOME if you let us drop it? Everyone would think you’re a super tough guy.”
Ehhh, with a large enough population you’re bound to find someone crazy enough to do it for no reason at all.
Bad people can do good things sometimes, and you should never interrupt or shame them for doing it. Many people on the internet forget that.
I said I do not agree with collective punishment. In no way should a Chinese person be deported or put in a camp because a different Chinese person was engaged in espionage. Only people found guilty of espionage should be deported, period.
What I’m saying is that Chinese espionage is based in reality, unlike the claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets.
Practicality beats purity, sadly.
