Captive Dreamer famously told Sami Gold his family should've died in the Holocaust.

As a Packers fan who hasn't kept up with the playoff pictute, I had a brief moment where I thought "Wait, aren't the Texas in the AFC?"

I feel like the ambiguity of "significantly hindering" might be the necessary outcome of giving both receivers and defenders equal right to the ball. We might just have to create a stricter rule that doesn't have to somehow allow for defensive contact that's primarily focused on catching the ball.

Well, yes, everything is zero sum if you look at is as a share of the whole rather than an absolute value.

You could reduce the warming impacts of flights by nearly half by just telling pilots not to fly within a narrow range of altitutes that produces highly reflective contrails.

so there's this thing called a Democratic primary

I played Bloodborne right after Dark Souls 3 on my PS5 and it immediately felt off for that reason.

Kravchuk stated at the time that he knew the promise wasn't worth the paper it was written on. They had nothing to lose. The nukes inside of Ukraine were still controlled by infrastructure and personnel loyal to the Kremlin. Ukraine cooperated at no real cost and got some nice compensation.

If I have to listen to one more populist politician expend political capital for reform on capping interest rather than interchange, I'm going to **** myself.

American credit cards aren't evil because of interest or whatever. They're evil because they've cartelized the pockets of wealthy Americans to force an effective national sales via interchange fee that funds credit card rewards and company profits at the expense of cash and low-rewards card users.

Literally all of these are a step up other than Polis.

Oh yeah, I'm all in all of this (I'd prefer state lists to STV for the House but not picking hairs).

I was mainly referencing the original Chris Hayes' post at the bottom of the pile about the Senate being structured to block liberal priorities. That seems like an obstacle that can't be ignored.

If you object on the basis that NZ has a 5% threshold, I'd note that the effective threshold of FPTP is usually much higher and completely intractable from the system itself.

Care to elaborate? I would think that a party getting a majority of the public to vote for them is simply a reflection of that party being popular. Was the 2020 New Zealand election a sign that "Kiwi democracy is broken as the US?"

I'm probably in the 99th percentile of Senate haters, but even assuming we could get the Democratic Party uniformly behind Proportional Unicameral Parliamentarianism, what avenue is there to fix this other than basically doing a legal coup? (The DC into 200 states plan.)

If the LPC got 60% of the vote, would it still be "undemocratic" to let them govern without votes from other parties?

It is absolutely possible for a majority of people to vote for a party. 53.3% of Albanians voted Socialist earlier this year. Thus, they govern alone.

Under proportional representation, parties (mostly) only win single-party parliamentary majorities when the majority of the public votes for them.
