Kinda surprised more pundits aren’t talking about this. David Shor brought this up years ago and nobody seems to address it or know what to do about it

If the concern is minority groups then just make it so the restriction only applies to white people, the largest swathe of Trump’s voter base. Wouldn’t you prefer it if uneducated white voters were removed from the equation?

I’m not sure RCV is the magic solution since places in the US that have had it don’t see much difference in the outcome. Also the electoral college/senate stuff doesn’t matter if Republicans are winning the popular vote

It doesn’t have to be a perfect system, just one that is most likely to restrict the kind of person who would vote for Trump. College degrees seem like a good proxy for that, most Trump voters are too lazy and dumb to get one

I don’t know all the things RFK wants to ban and I’m sure he goes off the deep end a lot but I thought most people were of the mindset US food has too many additives/artificial preservatives/etc relative to say Europe and more ingredients should be banned

I know a lot of YIMBY talk is very pro-densification - do you give any credence to the idea there’s a negative correlation between densification and fertility?
And if there is one, is there a point where you would think further densification is no longer worthwhile?
