Don’t be too relieved. There’s a bill banning RCV that passed the Texas Senate and is being considered by the House: https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1751192

Sanders is a rare voice for progressive, prosocial reform in the US. His policy positions resonate with many of us who feel that government should support ordinary people at least as much as the obscenely wealthy.
But beyond that, he’s genuine and his messaging has been consistent for decades. You can literally find images of him being arrested fighting for social justice in the 60’s.
Also he’s sharp and nearly every time he makes a point he drops the facts to support it.
Oh look, he literally just led a motion to block arms sales to Israel last week

For Mennonites specifically, education is one of their core values. They also did a study on what matters most to their members that you can check if you’re interested: https://www.mennoniteusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/MC-USA-Report-FN-compressed-1.pdf
Personally, I think a lot of their belief system and activism efforts just make sense and appeal based on their own merits.
iceonfire1@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Man whose daughter died from measles stands by failure to vaccinate her: "The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust"4·4 months agoThere are many kinds of Mennonites. Most that I know are pretty scientific and well-educated.
At least in the US, tipping is the accepted way that we compensate certain people for their time.
If you habitually never tip, you are not paying for the service that you receive in good faith. This is theft of service.
If you don’t like tipping, patronize places that include the tip in the bill. Tell restaurant owners to change their pay structure to avoid it. It won’t be changed by you individually shirking your obligation to pay.
Your choice not to tip will make no difference to the company, but every difference to a person who suffers through customer service for a living.
“I don’t want to subsidize a company” is just you inventing a convenient way to justify what is essentially theft. Why stop at not tipping? You could probably get away with stealing IDK, playground equipment too.

I think most people would agree that it does matter how rare it is.
Even if imperfect, ranked choice voting would give voters considerably more voice than they have now. That could be used to, for example, vote in another method in the future.
