SUMMARY:Gems at the J | Political Affairs
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Rosenberg \nJoin us for another informative round of Political Affairs with Dr. Bill Rosenberg.\nApril 23\, 2026 Mayor Mamdani and Rank Order Voting.\nInstead of selecting a single candidate\, a voter ranks multiple candidates in order of preference. If a candidate is selected as the first-choice candidate by more than 50% of voters\, they win. But if not\, the ranked choice process kicks in. This has important implications in elections involving multiple candidates. \nMay 7\, 2026 How Do Algorithms influence Our Media Feeds and Our Political Views.\nSocial Media outlets use algorithms to choose what appears in our social media feeds based on our likes and previous viewing. This then develops the basis of our view of the world. \nMay 28\, 2026 What Countries are in the Axis of Good and Evil In Politics Today? How Has this Changed Over Time?\nThe Axis powers often has referred to Germany\, Japan and Italy during WWII. Since then the terminology has shifted by our leaders to be a different set of governments today including Russia\, China\, Iran\, and North Korea. However\, countries other than the US have their own list of belligerents. \nJune 11\, 2026 US Immigration History and the Politics of 2026.\nThe US has had a complex relationship since our origins with immigration. At times the gates have been more open or closed to various groups\, often tied to politics\, economics and discrimination. \nClick here to register!
