  • There is no room for a third Party in a FPTP voting system as per Duverger’s Law. I think it’s likely the party would never take off, no matter how sensible its positions are. And even in the best case of it slowly growing while eating away at the democrats to eventually have a majority: during the time it takes to get there, elections would just be an easy republican win every time, as the ‘left half’ is split between bernie and status quo. I don’t think that’s worth it.


  • I think talking with his boss, your boss and HR (possibly all in one meeting) sounds like a reasonable first step. If it doesn’t work out or help, I’d try talking to him. You could get one or two coworkers as backup to come with you, just to make his personality issues less threatening. If this doesn’t work or maybe even make it worse, you could get some earplugs or ANC headphones to make it less of an issue for you. Good luck!





  • If anything it would be more a ‘tu quoque’ fallacy than whataboutism, because the latter tries to shift the attention to an unrelated topic, whereas here it is occupying land both times.

    It certainly weakens the criticism, because the robber in your example might do the right thing, but if they really opposed robbing, surely they wouldn’t do it themselves? As you said, it makes them a hypocrite, and makes you question their motive for measuring two cases with a different yardstick.


  • I’m not sure if this is how proton notifies you, but it could also be that someone else (the other address you’re seeing) put you in as their recovery mail. they haven’t logged in in a while, and now get notified that their account might get deleted due to lack of activity. They might have just mistyped the intended recovery email or randomly put in yours. Either way, nothing you need to do.
