Yeah I’m comparing 3rd party votes to voting for the less harmful duopoly + activism, you’re comparing it to doing nothing.

You’re right voting 3rd party is better than doing absolutely nothing. What a high bar

What are you even talking about? I’ve seen videos of cops shooting at dogs wagging their tails. I’ve seen cops shoot at small dogs and accidentally hit the owners. Here’s just one of many videos, see if you can watch it without being disgusted by these pigs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D1wzZU14h0

That’s true until it isn’t.

The way you change that is election reform. Not thoughts and prayers and spoiler votes when one of the 2 big parties is running a wannabe-dictator.

Think, if fools in Florida didn’t vote 3rd party in 2000 you’d never have bush or the war in iraq, and we might have given a shit about global warming.

Please, tell me you’re a child who knows nothing about the US electoral system without telling me. People like you got us Trump

Too much of a baby to read and understand the spoiler effect that comes with FPTP? Too impatient and short-sighted to push for election reform (RCV or approval voting) and just want some low effort immediate option that requires nothing more than casting a vote? Child. Democracies require effort to survive.

Did you just scoff at the idea of competition improving a market?

or they’re simply pumped full of Fox brand fear of anything slightly different and prefer this guys brand of crazy

Okay but they have no incentive to do any of that and instead have monetary incentive to shift right

Do participate in bringing ranked choice voting to your state if you want a shift left in the USA. Competition will force the shift you are looking for

Except the casino can refuse to pay out for any reason at all

USA strikers should take notes

The global elite buy the USA politicians. They are for sale internationally

In Bush’s case, the family is owned by the Saudis. And the Saudis couldn’t have the USA president going after oil.

In the usa we did vote for AL gore, who campaigned pretty much solely on stopping climate change.

When it became clear gore would win, the Supreme Court stopped counting ballots and gave the win to Bush, an oil tycoon who went to war for oil. Later Kavanaugh, who worked the case for Bush, was given a lifetime appointment to the same court for their effective cronyism

So yes, the global elite are the reason here.

‘We’ can’t address climate change because the global elite are dependent on the profits from harming the environment to fill their money banks, and it turns out they have all the power.

I do not need to rewire my brain, I need to build power structure so that I can eat the rich w/ that donut

Britain did brexit and a bunch of other countries elected right wing nut jobs in response to globalization, not just the us

Ah yes, the nuanced thinking of a 5 year old - everything is black and white and everyone who doesn’t agree w me 100% is evil

Can the legislature be forced to follow the people’s mandate by law enforcement? We seriously need to pass laws that jail legislators who fail to act in a timely manner on the peoples will

Then please point to the original aggression

When do you start the timeline though? The Palestine / Israel conflict has been going for 100 years right? Are you comfy saying Israel is the original aggressor?

Full disclosure: I dislike all fundamentalist religious societies. I don’t believe in holy land, and I think people on both sides are reaping what they’ve sown by insisting they are gods chosen people. So I’m not defending Israel, but I’m not defending Palestine (and especially Hamas) either.

Somewhere an Elon fanboy is explaining why this is peak free speech

A lot of disposal vapes CAN be charged, they just can’t be refilled!

People were saying that about cryogenics.

Humans have a vast body of knowledge about how things work. It’s a shame its dwarfed by the vast body of knowledge we are completely ignorant of.

Much as scientists managed to be surprised that life had evolved to eat garbage in the pacific garbage patch, it seems some will manage to be surprised that when humans eliminate one source of mortality, another inevitably evolves to take advantage of the ever-growing supply of humans.
