This is that time in the election when we have smaller parties (& their members) railing against "strategic voting." This is in their self-interest, of course. But it makes the electorate materially stupider about how the First Pasts the Post electoral system works. #argh #elxn44
Under First Past the Post, all voting is really "strategic voting" unless your favourite party is leading in your riding. It's baked in. People seem to intuitively know this (eg voting to keep the Conservatives out) but they don't seem to get that this only happens under FPTP...
What bugs me is it's smaller parties (who BTW remain smaller precisely due to FPTP) who when we're not in elections often push for #ProportionalRepresentation (where strategic voting doesn't apply) but who, during FPTP elxns, confuse ppl by telling them not to vote strategically

Feierabend de luxe: Mitten im Gewitter zwischen zwei Bahnhöfen in der #S3 feststecken, weil der Zug über einen Stromabnehmer gefahren ist — wir warten jetzt auf Feuerwehr und „Notfallmanager“.

Melde mich wieder, wenn erste Fälle von Kannibalismus auftreten.

Social opprobrium is a powerful tool available to everyone, and the reason that so many privileged people are advising against it is not because it’s uncivil but because it’s effective.
Or unjust society uses social opprobrium against marginalized people every day, and it always has.

That’s why, for example, gay teens have such a high suicide rate. And so on.
