P0o agrees it would be fun to see them try it.

Other then not Trump (a fair offer to be honest) what did she offer voters? She seemed to run on a status quo platform.

I would say 2020 was more the outlier then anything. Then again, that was right after 4 years of trump and you know waves hands all the crap that happened then.

That or a locked down internet in the US. Was it not from that document that this came from?

“Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned,” the document says. “Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”

The issue is it is a two party system. The Dems ran a safe but weak campaign while people are pissed off at the world. Trump was a colossal ass who is likely to collapse the free world clowning it up at every chance.

This was a referendum on the status quo, and they got a solid no in favor of tearing it all down.

Or you know, not gatekeeping but actually taking a position as a political party (instead of trying to be some grey nothing). Oh and having more then two parties would be nice.

Democrats’ decision to disregard the will of 116,000 voters could have major consequences.

Yeah, you could say that…

In that two party system?

“Go ahead, throw your vote away!” -Kodos

Yes, thank you for putting it in plain language. People are not in a good place all over the world and telling people the economy (markets and stats people no longer have faith in) is great has the opposite effect then what the Dems intended.

This mess stems from a combo of a two party system (you know that thing the US founders warned you about) and a fundamental failure (real or perceived) of society’s ability to reward people fairly. Now you don’t have a middle class to pander to, you just have levels of poor and a few ultra wealthy (both demographics that tend to vote more right then left).

The real telling stat here is women voters. At what point would a woman vote contrary to her own body autonomy, safety and general rights? Like anyone else, when she is poor, hungry and angry.

The poison of the “big tent”. Move a little over to let people in enough and you are no longer representing anyone in a desperate attempt to represent everyone.

Both of our nations really need to have some electoral reform.

Best we can do it seems is an “I voted” sticker.

Yay…

(It was likely already dead in the US, but yeah this might be your “sign”)

Not sure what to tell you, I am in another nation but a similar situation. The state of things is now to the point media is untrusted, nationalism is both here and missing, while people are angry but happy to blame the “other guys”.

Well and so far the popular vote is more red then blue. I think the USA will get the government the voters deserve.

Here’s hoping the rest of the world can not get pulled down.

Critique the actual fault at play, bad writing,

That seems to be what is being done here. Everything that I have seen on this has done what you asked, said what they where critiquing then giving a clip from the game as an example. If people can not be critical of media for any reason, we have an issue.

Or not having any but fix your own shit. I like the idea of smaller houses and yards but not if that comes with shared maintenance fees.

The costs for some of these things is silly and since most people don’t volunteer to be on those boards they don’t even get to see how their fees are spent.

Condo/HOA/Strata fees are a big way people are kept out of owning their own place. Its crazy that almost every place even remotely affordable is part of one.

Yeah, we are boned all over the nation.

And in the past I would ask “Toronto or Vancouver?” But I know that that could be in any city these days.

I don’t think there is any meaningful payment, but then again after reading this I would not put it past them to make some sort of pay for kids program in the future. It feels a bit dirty and I would guess quickly become abused. Great, now I have the nasty image of people farming for cash becoming a thing. Wonderful.
