Usually RCV is an initiative or referendum depending on how your state does it. In mine, it’s just a separate issue on the back that we have to vote for, alongside things like “should we institute a tax for schools” or “should we approve building a new park”. Entirely separate from voting for candidates for any position.
Don’t forget a little note saying "Think this is stupid? Vote for Ranked-Choice Voting!’
I think the fact that you’ve spent a lot of time in liberal organizations is why you think that way about where it falls on the continuum between progressivism and conservatism.
Interesting that you characterize my statement as "both sides"ing. I would say the thrust of my statement is not “both sides” but “one side”. America does not have a progressive party, only conservative and conservative-lite. Given the choice, of course I’ll choose the latter, not least because the former is so far off the deep end it may never recover as a party. That does not mean I think that both parties are the same.
Visually:
--------Progressivism ------------------------ Center ------ Liberalism --------------------------- Conservatism.
Liberals and conservatives are more similar than liberals and progressives.
We didn’t call him Crazy Jens for nothing
They’ll continue crying to the media regardless.
Reply: Maybe, but that’s not why he was booked, and if you’re going to book him for that then we should have seen 3 more yellows for similar contact in the first half to set the tone properly, instead of only punishing this instance. On top of that, see my second yellow comment; sending a player off should require a higher bar than this. On top of all of that, the official stance is that he was sent off for delaying the restart. And I’m not even going to begin to describe the number of times a City player delayed a free kick/throw in and wasn’t punished with even a first yellow. I’m done with that.
NB: I’m travelling and my Lemmy app decided to cache this comment and send it as soon as I got to the airport, hence the delay. Sorry for necro.
Seconded! It also has a more informative cycling interface.
Wow, it’s almost like even you didn’t know what he was being punished for.
Forgot that we give players yellows for shit aerial duels now too. No, you didn’t ref the game, but you’ve got lots of opinions (as have I).
What, you think Oliver is capable of making judgment calls? Intent only matters when it’s a City player in this fixture.
? Trossard is challenging for the header, bumps Silva in the air. Foul, no problem. Yellow? Harsh. Second yellow? Extremely harsh.
Don’t talk to me about what anyone deserves. Where are Doku’s card for similarly delaying the restart or Haaland’s for violent play at the end?
That actually seems to be somewhat contentious. At the time the commentators said it was for delaying the restart. Afterwards, pundits said that they’d heard it was for the challenge on Silva.
Putting Arsenal bias hat on I assume they’re just trying to figure out which reason will hold more water and get them in less trouble.
Everyone was making fun of Arteta for stacking up on defenders, but where are those people now? We might need three more if we’re going to play half of our matches down a man.
See, I’m loving that everyone is suddenly so adamant that a yellow is a yellow. Second yellows have ALWAYS been 10x harder to earn than the first, because of the consequence of getting one. Fuck, Rodri is famous for maybe getting one for his third or fourth card-worthy challenge and then becoming immune to them for the rest of the match.
But now, suddenly, a yellow is a yellow no matter what the game context. Referees seem to want to have their cake and eat it too: they want to be able to shrug and say “you gave me no choice” but also prevent VAR from intervening because the human element is important to refereeing.
Anything less than a 250M pound fine distributed to all teams in the PL weighted by how long they spent in the league during the offending period and a 40 point deduction is a joke.
An ex-coworker of mine recommended Mango Languages, which is supposed to be much better and also if you have a library card, you can usually get a subscription for free through them! The lessons are probably a little longer than 30 seconds, but not too much longer. I’d say a minute tops.
