Iā€™dā€¦kind ofā€¦. Love to see a ā€œthey all
Suckā€ option on the ballotā€¦ and if enough votes anyone on the ballot is removed from running and the election is held again

ā€¦but I also donā€™t want to deal with any more elections that I have to

Thereā€™s always 3rd party, not that it has a realistic chanceā€¦ also the last couple looked half decent until it got to the wire then they both shit themselvesā€¦ sigh

Wait, some countries donā€™t have that option!?

Well, if youā€™re not going to vote out of disgust, voting for a candidate who doesnā€™t have a chance would cause no harm.

Apparently Alaska is going to a ranked final four format. With no primaries as I understand it.

In theory it breaks the cycle of being presented only the most polar extreme choices. Itā€™ll be interesting to see in the next cycle.

Thank you!

In some countries, that is the null option, actually.

one of the most common processes:

  • blank votes go towards the candidate with majority of actual votes
  • Null votes go to no one
  • If no candidate reaches X% of votes, the ellection is cancelled and a new one must be held where none of the previous candidates are allowed to participate.

Some countries have modified this principle, others removed it completelyā€¦ but most democracies have/had a mechanism just like that one. And itā€™s built around the null vote.

Hence why candidates demonise the null vote so much and spread so much misinformation about it: they are terrified the masses might learn how it actually works.

Has anyone taken an EMT course? Iā€™m debating on switching up careers, again, to becoming a paramedic. Iā€™ve got a few questions about being a student. Would love to to DM the questions and talk through parts of EMT school. Also if someone works for a 3 letter agency, Iā€™ve got questions about medic careers and requirements within those agencies. Info is somewhat sparse on that from what I can find with my google-fu skills.

A friend of mine just finished school for it, I think he was going for paramedic not just emt, If you want I can put you in touch with him

That would be awesome! Iā€™m planning on EMT to get on an ambulance, and if I like it, then start paramedic school. Both are offered by a good medical school just north of me with the same instructors. And I know EMT can be great or awful depending on employer and location, but Iā€™m more worried about if I have the mental fortitude to poke people or perform under the pressure of affecting someoneā€™s life even if Itā€™s not a life or death situation. I think I do and can based off of other jobs Iā€™ve worked, but it was under the pressure of millions of dollars at stake, not someoneā€™s life or well being. Two completely different things and Iā€™d rather dip my toes in with EMT before going to Paramedic school. And I know I donā€™t get to poke people as an EMT, but itā€™ll help let me guage myself.
