Ten years BEFORE you lived. Being a white male adult through the 80s must be peak?
Just gotta look to Russia
Nice, dig for oil and sell of the land that will be hit by externalities. Fuck you Exxon.
But Trump with billionaire support is attacking economic elites… One should never underestimate how dumb the general person is.
Oh, you think Trump won’t break the barriers and sit for life?
Are elections rules by the courts? What?
It’s American focused and abortion is at the forefront of their christofascist-liberal culturwar.
In GBP I’m at 33k. Not great.
Is this what they meant that North-Korea is entering the war? Will the Axis of Dictatorship go all out?
That 3. party better be Election Reform.
It may not be the person you voted for, but there is someone that’s supposed to represent your community.
That’s a weird take on politics. “Hitler comes from my place so he represents me.”
As a non-EU European I vote on country politics at the national elections, and local politics at the county elections. That way I have local representation in local matters, and national representation at national matters.
The current right wing surge in Europe is mostly because people don’t like the amount of Muslim immigrants and most countries have only far right parties that rides on that matter. Plus Russian influence I assume.
You do not get a good political landscape with one seat districts that can even be gerrymandered. Every fucking US state house is divided in DEM and REP, that’s not healthy.
In a binary system they are sadly still better than the other choice. Vote at every instance for greener alternatives inside the democrats and election reform.
You dont even get a representative by 2., 3. and 4. candidate votes in the 1 seat districts. Your vote is actually worth zero if it doesn’t win. My 7th party vote goes towards a party representative that can voice my cause. My vote is not lost at all.
I think it would be more effective to start an election reform faction inside the Dems rather than abstain the vote for democracy against dictatorship.
One of the parties CENCORED the EPA from using the word climate change and dropped the USA out of the accords.
HOW FUCKING BRAINDEAD WOULD YOU HAVE TO BE TO LET THAT BASTARD INTO THE OFFICE AGAIN!!!
When the options are democracy or dictatorship and you choose not to vote… it’s kinda gross. I get that you got a failure of a system over there, but the fight to update your democracy should be done after you choose to have one.
“Even in a proportional representation system”
In a proportional system votes for other candidates aren’t lost tho, which means it doesn’t force a two party system by design.
I don’t think it is stated enough how horribly weak the current US one seat FPTP system is.
Yes, economic freedom, that’s what liberal refer to elsewhere than the US I believe.
At least at MAGA redcap level.
I can’t believe the US is about to let illiberal “Christo” tyrants win without a fight. Should do as Jon Stewart said, play on their level and just don’t confirm the votes.
