Systems of Voting around the World

03 May

The first voting system, also the simplest system and popular, is Plurality voting, also known as First-past-the-post voting. This is the one you’re probably most familiar with, and it’s the easiest to understand. When you go to vote, you vote for one person of your choosing, and whoever gets the most votes wins the election. This system works great because it is extremely simple to understand, but it also means that candidates don’t need a majority to win the election. They only need more votes than the other candidates on the ballot. But if you want a system that requires a majority to get elected, the next system we have is called Two Round Voting , also called “Majority Voting”. Two Round Voting fixes the main problem with first-past-the-post by requiring a majority of votes to allow a candidate to win. If no candidate secures a majority in the initial vote, a runoff election is called to pick a winner between the top two candidates who receiv...

Short rant about the news today

06 July

TW: Political I can’t help but feel like todays news about Graham Platner came at a suspicious time election wise. He’s the nominee for the Democratic Party, and there’s one more week for him to drop out. This is just another instance of the Fractured political system in America continuing to fracture. If the allegations are true, I will not support Graham Platner any longer. I said on Bsky that his party hasn’t had an actual message for years now. Ever since 2016, the Democratic Party has fractured into at least two factions, but certainly way more, all with their own messaging and direction for the party. Any time one of these factions starts to win out, there just so happens to be a sexual assault story that surfaces. Or, a corruption scandal that ends careers just happens to be brought up years later. Is my point being made? The Central Government is wayy more corrupt than you think it really is, on both sides.

Hello, it’s been a bit since I was online anywhere but BlueSky. I realise I’ve been leaving everyone in the mud by not saying anything about my whereabouts recently, so I figure I’d say something. I’ve been making music lately. More specifically, I’m working on my songwriting abilities. I’ve already written a couple songs so far and I’m hoping to finishing writing many more. After I get some nice lyrics, I’m gonna learn to make music for those words. I’ve come to realise I’ve always wanted to make my own music, so instead of chasing things that honestly won't happen — like becoming a streamer or a YouTuber —I want to focus on outlets to make me happy. I’m hoping to create a collection of songs to release so I can play some in my area live (probably around 13, but no promises on the final number). I will most certainly stay pretty silent online until I’m finished making my music. So when that’s done, I will return to weekly streaming on Twitch with my best friends. I’m not gonna gu...

(Political Opinion) Is this the real America?

14 April

Warning: This post is political in nature. If you aren't interested in this, please ignore! When you're at work and you overhear your boss speaking, does he threaten everyone around and act delusional? Or does he act professionally and speak with a clear tone? Hopefully the latter, but not for the highest role in the nation, the President of the United States of America. Donald Trump isn't the only mad President we've had recently, but he's definitely the worst one. In the short time we've been in his second term, he's heavily consolidated power in the Executive Branch, and destroyed many of the governmental agencies and Checks and balances. In recent days, he has started a war none of his predecessors ever wanted to start for obvious reasons, with Iran. No one started a war with Iran for the simple fact Iran has the superior piece on the board with control of the Strait of Hormuz. I had a chat with a Co-worker about how Trump wanted Europe to open the Str...
