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
USA strikers should take notes
GOP has very obviously fallen to fascists.
Sounds very cool. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
Thats pretty interesting. Do you mind telling us rough numbers on time spent building and sale price? Did you set out to make something you thought you could sell or just end up selling it?
Kind of. I saw there were marketplaces like Xpiece, GitMarket, etc popping up and I'm wondering if anyone tried those or something like it. They don't seem to be exactly branded as 'template marketplaces' like a lot of the old source code sites were, but maybe there's no difference.
I have no problem with democrats 'sticking together' as far as voting blue next election, but don't sit back after you've done that.
The seeds for fascism in the USA are the same ones that were in Germany when Hitler rose - rampant inequality and poverty leading to desperate people leading to christian nationalism, and later fascism. I hate to break it to you but a Democratic party with no one to the left of them has no incentive to fix the root problems, and every incentive to stay on the take and then escape to their favorite country with their wealth if they push it too far.
Campaign finance reform, election reform, labor reform … pick a cause and find some friends. We cannot have a democracy without working for it. Fascism will rise in the absence of effort.
spoken like someone who has never had religious nutjobs take over their government.
steps down with a golden parachute, all the richer.
We need real consequences for greed that is ruining everyone's lives.
Seriously, the news prints the headline as if the rest of the article doesn't make it really clear this is a claim from nowhere.
Its the same with drawing.
Its funny how no one gets confused about lawyers having to practice law, etc. We need better PR.
Yes. My point exactly. I think young people get frustrated being told 3rd party is a wasted vote and do it out of a sense of rebellion. Real rebellion is attacking first past the post
Just remember - with first past the post third party is structurally prevented from rising. Get busy with local election reform in your state: look for ranked choice or approval voting initiatives with some steam
except its not true and you should fact check things you read on the internet before condemning an entire country
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
