Lawyer and political junkie. Comfortable with liberalism and conservatism. Strongly anti-Trumpism, also anti-leftism. 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦

@utilamax @grok @strangearizonan @Stop_RCV @SaveOurStates (Quick note: Clinton won the popular vote by ~2.9 million. But that’s the Electoral College for you, another “trade-off” in our system. Doesn’t change the math.) 1. Arrow’s theorem doesn’t “disprove majority rule.”
It says no ordinal ranked system satisfies all four axioms.
@utilamax @grok @strangearizonan @Stop_RCV @SaveOurStates Majority rule fails transitivity in cycles — a known trade-off, not a contradiction.
• Your “package deal” (bundling 2012+2016) isn’t majority rule — it’s agenda manipulation by smashing unrelated votes.
• 2012: Obama > Romney (majority)
• 2016: Trump > Clinton

No paradox. You changed the game.
→ Stop using Arrow’s name in vain. 2. Harsanyi’s “average utility” is rhetoric, not proof.
It assumes cardinal,

In Paradoxica, Emperor Tormag’s every move is genius, thanks to the Magalites’ Great Justification. War? “Protecting our interests!” Peace? “Paradoxica First!” How do they always spin it? 🌀 #ParadoxicaTales
Tormag taxes the poor: “A chess master’s move!” He cuts taxes for barons: “Making Paradoxica great!” The Magalites cheer every flip-flop. Is it loyalty or magic? 🤔 #GreatJustification

Sung to the tune of Walking on the Sun:
It ain't no joke, when tariffs rise and trade's revoked,
They say it helps the local jobs, but that's blowing smoke.
They claim it's for our gain, but it's just a losing game,
Hey, I know it seems absurd, but it's the same as blocking
rays.
This is a trade attack, I know it's here, and it's whack,
It's like denying light, thinking darkness brings us back.
And just like fashion, it's a passion for the uninformed,
If you block the goods, you'll find it's like a shadow formed.
So don't delay, act now,

It’s not deranged to oppose Trump after his first term, which culminated in attempts to stay in power despite losing. It’s not deranged to warn about someone threatening to target political enemies or unleash the military on cities to round up immigrants. It’s not deranged to
warn about someone who prioritizes appeasing Putin, or to remember why Mike Pence isn’t on the ticket this time. In his first term, he faced re-election and had guardrails like Pence. Those won’t apply now. It’s not deranged to oppose someone pushing for a bigger Muslim ban or

For those who try to disregard how Biden does at scripted events when claiming he has dementia, get a basic understanding of it. He would not do well with scripted events if he had dementia. Why not? 1. Dementia impairs short-term memory. He would have trouble remembering what he
just read and what comes next. His speeches would lack flow and continuity. 2. Dementia impairs comprehension. He would have trouble understanding the nuances and context, preventing the proper emphasis and tone. 3. Dementia impairs focus. He would not be able to keep focusing

1/ In the heart of Washington D.C., where the cherry blossoms dance to the symphony of spring breezes and the grandeur of history whispers through the streets, there stood an old, peculiar gentleman at the gates of the White House. His hair was as white as the marble columns of
2/ the Lincoln Memorial, and his eyes twinkled with a blend of mischief and wisdom.
With a slow, deliberate step, he approached the uniformed Secret Service agent standing guard, his face breaking into a grin that creased a thousand tiny stories into his skin. "Excuse me, young
