It varies between implementations, here’s a rough example for how the concept works (details may differ)

It’s important to emphasize that in each step each ballot only counts for one candidate.

First you count 1st choice votes. If there’s already a winner here then you’re done. Second choices don’t matter if a majority already agree on a first choice.

If not (eg. if no candidate has above 50%) then you eliminate the least popular candidates first. Once a candidate has been eliminated, any ballot with the eliminated candidate as 1st gets transferred to the 2nd choice candidate.

Consider the US election - if your first choice is a 3rd party candidate instead of the 2 well known ones, they’re probably not getting a lot of votes. Once it’s determined your 1st choice can’t win and they’re eliminated, your 2nd choice on the ballot is counted instead. This stacks on top of the not-eliminated 1st choice votes from the first step.

Why does this matter politically?

Because of say Trump gets 48% 1st choice votes, Biden gets 40% 1st choice and then 12% 2nd choice votes = 52% total and a win, then that’s a powerful signal about which alternative candidates can become viable and a powerful method of expressing discontent with the primary candidate despite being willing to vote for “the lesser of two evils”. You can express your first preference without giving a bad candidate a bigger chance to win.

Another interesting feature is that it’s possible to win a majority of votes being 2nd choice votes, but that’s really only likely if there’s many candidates and 1 candidate that most finds acceptable but not preferred, because all the ones that are preferred by a few but disliked by most gets disqualified one by one until all those votes has gotten transferred to the broadly acceptable candidate

SCOTUS will just rule he can’t do that

That party itself in USA is definitely bullshit though

Even that requires overhead

Because it’s not meant for them so they don’t announce it like that, it’s meant for the big donors

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8K_resolution

8K resolution refers to an image or display resolution with a width of approximately 8,000 pixels. 8K UHD (7680 × 4320)

The number refers to the horizontal resolution. FHD is nearly 2K pixels wide, just as 4K resolutions are nearly 4K pixels wide, although FHD is the typical term for the resolution and QHD is more commonly called 2K instead than FHD

Tapes themselves are cheaper, but the drive (and potentially operating cost?) can definitely be higher for the industrial stuff

And my TV is still a cheap full HD (2K) screen from 2011, so I’ve got no reason to buy media in higher quality

goose meme who took away women’s rights?

Who took them away?

And did you actually pay attention to the union negotiation results and impacts on worker rights? Here’s a hint, they’re stronger than before

Who controls inflation? Do you think the president does?

You mean when the rail union got what they asked for, because all while Trump supported companies against unions,

The rail union thanked the Biden administration for helping getting their demands through,

"We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

“We know that many of our members weren’t happy with our original agreement,” Russo said, “but through it all, we had faith that our friends in the White House and Congress would keep up the pressure on our railroad employers to get us the sick day benefits we deserve. Until we negotiated these new individual agreements with these carriers, an IBEW member who called out sick was not compensated.”

You’re forgetting that the goal of unions isn’t to strike, it’s to protect their member’s rights, and they got their rights. Strikes is one means of applying pressure, Biden applied pressure by other means

Constitutional amendment

This is an interpretation of the constitution, so what congress needs to do it to amend the constitution to explicitly state the president is not immune, and good luck getting that through

Congress can expand the court to put the corrupt asses in minority and them the ruling can be reversed

Only for federal crimes, but that covers most things involving the military anyway

Biden has moved worker rights and more forwards, what’s your point?

He doesn’t have legislative power, that’s the difference. He controls the executive branch, so he can direct law enforcement and regulator agencies and more however he wants. But he can’t single-handedly restrict his own power in a way the next president can’t undo

Right and other people don’t get to decide to put a virus in my body, so vaccinate or mask up!

What’s the point when herd immunity is necessary?

As stated in the dissent, ignoring your own precedence for years to create an impression that a useful legal principle isn’t useful and to create an excuse to overturn it doesn’t make for an actual reasonable argument to overturn it.
