  • I don’t really understand how we fix gerrymandering. Districts can sue the state for making their elections more competitive, less competitive, or a perceived slight. Every time maps are drawn, 99.9% of districts become less competitive, offering a safer win for both of the two major parties where they expect to win. Strategically voting for third parties that can put Ranked Choice in place is… Possible, but incremental.

    So yeah it seems like ending the electoral college is less complicated. It seems very popular with most people and half the politicians.













  • I wonder if an Asexual / Aromantic community would be better at deciphering whether what you’re expressing is healthy coping or reason for concern.

    I am not aro/ace, but I am super lonely. I don’t think you are purposely keeping yourself from happiness. I think you are purposely limiting yourself as a form of… romantic procrastination. If it would make you happier to be in love with a human girl rather than a fantasy, but you fantasize instead? You’re afraid love won’t be like you imagine it. That you aren’t good at it. And won’t be good at it. And it won’t be any fun because of your lack of skill. If this sounds right, it might be.

    Or it could be an aro/ace or gray aro thing, I wouldn’t even know. It could even be a whole other form of romantic or social coping mechanism entirely.
