Not knowing the details personally, this feels like a really important perspective to have on this.

Marjorie Taylor Greene may yet be our Gollum.

Bold move for a woman with that bone structure to be shitting on trans people.

This is a fantastic observation.

Thanks to the disaster that is first past the post, that battle will either

A) be fought and won as a battle for control of the Democratic party, or

B) be a fight between democrats and new party, with Republicans emerging the victors.

The only option under first past the the post is a united left and center, including the corporatist fascist-chasers. We need to unite (which is easier under better, progressive ideas) as one giant anti-extremist blockade.

Any plan that does not factor in the facts in this video has a 100% chance of failing: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

Dissatisfaction must be channeled in ways that do not feed further failure.

This account is might be one to un-block. Does great work on spreading awareness about how terrible first past the post is. A necessary component of a saved world. It’s not all bad.

Everybody who was voting age was old enough to remember the trauma of 2016-2020 without reminders. Yes the dems should leverage everything anyway, but even the non-politically-aware have it in working recent memory. We can take that out of the list of causes.

Yeah but Ukraine can lose twice.

And commercial real estate.

Any system where your vote is a list instead of a checkbox.

That way in 2016 you can vote for Bernie as 1, and if he loses, you can vote for Hillary by putting her as 2. You don’t have to give up your moonshot to get your safety net.

Great video on the problems with first past the post, with links to some other videos discussing better systems: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

It’s still good to know he doesn’t have one, be able to prove it, and say it a lot all over the place with the receipts in hand.

he won

Yes.

by a good margin

No.

Donvict is the only good name for him anybody has come up with. Good job.

Worse than having a king?

This made me feel good to think about. And the downsides about why we could never do it are now equally matched and going to happen anyway.

Only issue would be public health stuff, but that requires cooperation across the board.

Thank you.

Look at that sexy, irresistible face.

There’s just no way to know.

Doing nothing or not enough is somehow more infuriating than actively doing harm, but no, it is absolutely not worse.
