@VicinageClause @GSVBemusementPk Also this was roughly 20 years before North Macedonia became a NATO member. Where is the connection here?

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@VicinageClause @GSVBemusementPk "On 20 June 2001, President Boris Trajkovski sent a letter to Lord Robertson, the then NATO Secretary General, to request NATO assistance in keeping civil war at bay."
They came on request of the macedonian government to collect the weapons. This hardly counts as an "invasion"

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@VicinageClause @GSVBemusementPk When were they invaded by NATO?

@apocalypticopti @SonnyBostock @VTHistory25 Then you should know better. The jews in Nazi Germany were no Americans either. Were their also not worthy of life?

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@apocalypticopti @SonnyBostock @VTHistory25 Yeah, you would perfectly fit into Nazi Germany

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@rskhm__ @alt_ccc @axiochrono Yeah. No. That is only guaranteed if one wins 50 or more percent in the first round. I bet there is a third candidate that would win a runoff against both of them

@Kenneth76146163 @adammocklerr Isn't that an argument for a nationwide ban, rather than against?

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@caemklein @Karsten74020432 Nein, dass ist nicht erlaubt leider

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@incitafusio @ejzim I'm sorry, maybe I am misunderstandkng you, but can you - mathematically - explain to me where the difference is between an instant runoff and a two round runoff? Why would the latter system yield a more legitimized winner than the first one?

@atheistsplained Kenn dich jetzt nicht, also verzeih die Frage, aber warum steht Volt im untersten tier bei dir? Fällt da ein bisschen aus der Reihe

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@incitafusio How is fptp any better in that than ranked choice voting?

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@Karannautiyal9 @SouvikMitr80123 @stats_feed But he still defended his title against Topalov and Gelfand. I don‘t understand the numbers here either.

@XisTheNewTwiter @fl4ree234 @bdeyal1 @2700chess @ReykjavikOpen The more contributing factors are player demographics. It could very well be, that the top player in 20 years will again only have a 2750 rating again. However, chances are, that he will still be much better than a 2800+ rated player from today.

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@XisTheNewTwiter @fl4ree234 @bdeyal1 @2700chess @ReykjavikOpen I am not arguing against the fact that todays players are stronger than 30 years ago. Of course they are. This will always be the case. But again, the Elo rating method does not work on an absolute scale. It can only be viewed in the context of the time of its computation.

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@fl4ree234 @XisTheNewTwiter @bdeyal1 @2700chess @ReykjavikOpen Yeah, but elo ratings are not absolute. They are only able to estimate the relative differences between player strength, not on an absolute scale. So a 2700 rating today is not comparable to a 2700 rating from 1990.

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@XisTheNewTwiter @bdeyal1 @2700chess @ReykjavikOpen What makes you think that? There are 30+ players right now that are rated 2700+. Until 30 years ago, there were only six players who have ever reached that number.

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@Andrew_S_Becker @DeepNotShallow Where is the difference? The results of first past the post are equivalent to first round results of rcv. What do you mean they are not counted?

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@Andrew_S_Becker @DeepNotShallow @TheEqualVote Maybe you could help me out understanding the argument behind that one here

[Ach du meine Nase @eintilo]

@Andrew_S_Becker @DeepNotShallow In the graphic you shared: I don't understand, why ballot exhaustion after 3 or more rounds for rcv is considered worse than wasted votes, i.e. ballot exhaustion after the first round?
