SAVE Act = Voter Suppression Act

And candidates can't go and attack other people as their main strategy for election. No 2 party bs. None of this, "Don't vote for him because he is XYZ". They have to tell you why you should vote for them. It switches the social dynamic between candidates to be respectful if not collaborative. 2/2

Ranked Choice Voting is EXCELLENT for voters because you never have to go "should I just plug my nose and vote for someone I don't really like because I think they are electable?" You vote for anyone you can stand in rank order. And you don't rank crappy and destructive candidates. 1/2

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case
