“we’re all gonna die one day, why delay the inevitable”

Yeah that sounds pretty fair honestly. Being cautions to feel safe is pretty understandable. Outright considering every man the same would be a bit harsh, and also obviously incorrect.

If there were as many man and women pilots, and the vast majority of airline crashes were by men and intentional, that would certainly be worth discussing.

I bet it would still make some men angry though, as people often have an emotional knee-jerk reaction to defend what they see as their in-group. That reaction is not always helpful. Instinctively seeing “men” as your team and “women” as an opposing team leads to all kinds of BS we’d be better off without.

For fairness, it’s also not great when women see “women” as their team and “men” as the enemy. It doesn’t lead to quite as many rapes and murders though.

you can’t argue away math, sorry

If your strategy only works if we first fix FPTP, and you apply it before fixing FPTP, your strategy doesn’t work.

There’s really nothing more to it. Feel free to disagree, but you will be incorrect in the purest sense of the word

they are too busy on the internet to go outside

If the meme was clearly an assertion of fact that men in general love murdering women, yes

Personally I read it as “[some] men love murdering”

Statistically most people don’t get murdered, but air-travel is also very safe, and people are still afraid of flying. If a meme about wanting to travel said “shame that planes crash” people probably wouldn’t be all angry about it. Or perhaps they would, people* are weird

(* again [some] people)

I’m sorry, I know it’s a hobby with long traditions, but woke people have ruined it

If you see something like this and get angry at women, you have a problem.

At best it’s a problem with reading comprehension. At worst, you’re worried that things like this could get in the way of your murdering-women hobby.

Stop murdering women and you’ll be fine

“more men get murdered” isn’t relevant though. Hypothetically, if predominantly men murder lots of men and women equally, a woman would be right to be worried about getting murdered by a man.

The math shows it’s hopeless in FPTP.

A third party will make it easier for the party it is least aligned with to take power.

A very successful third party (to a degree that is very unlikely to happen quickly) will simply supplant the party it’s most aligned with. The supplanted party will then either have to give up, or will take on the role of helping the party it’s least aligned with to win.

A third party on a local level that is consistently and efficiently backing the same FPTP candidate as one of the two big parties can mathematically be fine I guess. In practice I haven’t seen a lot of people both enthusiastically back whatever D chooses for a presidential candidate, and argue for voting third party only at the levels where it is mathematially rational

do the math, it’s not particularly difficult

well, have fun keeping R in power then

Go for it, but also vote D where they’re the only realistic option to R.

Otherwise, support for a third party becomes support for R, as previously with the greens

Who says electoral reform only happens in blue states?

The comment I replied to

Electoral reform in the blue states must happen. Red states as well but we all know republicans stance on more democracy.

Hey, if you organise but vote D in the cases where it’s the best chance to keep R out, I’m happy

If you don’t vote D in the cases where it’s the best chance to keep R out, you’re effectively supporting R regardless what you’re telling yourself. If you’re also organising, nice, but if your organising is to convince more people to effectively support R like you, we’d all be better off if you quit.

Oh no, this option isn’t perfect in every way for all people, and thus indistinguishable from being worthless?

Let the greater of two evils win until there’s a perfect option to vote for. Got it.

If you do electoral reform in just the blue states, you strengthen the republicans who will then take all of the red states, and get a bit of some blue states
