How can we measure the quality of a democratic voting method for electing a legislature?

Until now, there have been no well-defined metrics that work for diverse voting methods and party systems.

I've been pondering this, literally for years. I can finally answer. Read on:

Update: now I get more ads than ever. Which I choose to believe means that a billionaire @elonmusk spent attention to have somebody specifically mess with me 😂. Though honestly it probably just means that this platform is falling apart and the services just sometimes break.

[Jameson Quinn @bettercount_us]

Dude really ran this platform into the ground. It explains why he's testing out ads from F-tier content farms.

@LaymansLinguist @DavidOBowles Empire is messy.

[Jameson Quinn @bettercount_us]

@LaymansLinguist @DavidOBowles Does the British PM have a British name? Yes (he's as British as anyone) but not an English one (he's not English).

"Aztec" is like "British"; "Nahuatl" is like "English".

By the way, the "1 ad, total" was in Russian, a language I don't speak. Sad @elonmusk's only friends left, I guess. Poor little rich boy😿😿😿.

[Jameson Quinn @bettercount_us]

Hahaha, @elonmusk, you loser.

Today I've scrolled through many hundred posts. Exactly 1 ad, total. Apparently I've blocked them all.

Until today, that was impossible. There were always more to block. But seems now everyone but the bottom-feeders I've already blocked is gone.

(To be clear, I'm not getting those userless content-farm ads either; apparently that rollout hasn't hit me yet.)

GOP learns the hard way: Turning the base up too high blows out your Speaker

[Jameson Quinn @bettercount_us]

@lennybronner Any reason to suspect ecological fallacy? That is, might it actually be "Democrats in Republican precincts" who are now less opposed to early voting?

(I think probably not, but gotta ask, for old times' sake :)

Bajo el liderazgo de Consuelo Porras, Rafael Curruchiche y Fredy Orellana, se está consumando un golpe a las elecciones y a la voluntad del pueblo.

A todos y cada una, en defensa del voto libre y soberano, de la democracia y la constitución, les pedimos #NoMásSilencio.
