Damn thing’s busted. If you can imagine an administration that acts like this ever peacefully ceding a lost election, you’re crazier than me.
Half a goon and half a god

I just make it in my aeropress with a metal filter, does a perfect cup with hardly any powder in the bottom
Doesn’t even appear to exist for me in the UK. Yay?
I don’t think anyone truly appreciated how funny he was until he ordered the entire Russian military to be roasted
Pretty much every way known to mankind is better than what we’ve got; it’s not as if we’re getting to constantly test new ideas and make a more perfect democracy.
FPTP is imposed on us by those in power. It systematically reduces the cost to subvert the will of voters. The system is inherently dichotomous, and third parties can rarely upset the dynamic.
“The purpose of the system is what it does”.
Neologisms don’t get to tell me how they are pronounced. I decide what sounds best, and if others agree then that’s it.
Kagi rhymes with Maggie.
Edit: lmao I guess it don’t
You could do a lot worse than proportional representation and STAR voting

Most of them are just caught in the gears of history. It’s not as if voting was ever mandatory or generally made available to the working class.
But yes, a nation asleep at the wheel for the most part. It’s such a pity.
This is the upshot: you cannot win by cooperating with chaos. The cavalry isn’t coming. It’s you. Keep your head on a swivel out there, and don’t make bargains with any more dark fae.
The thought of it is giving me an election
Headline gives me instant murder feelings. Going to go read and report back.
“It is clearly not an appropriate relationship for an industry lobby group to have with a department charged with the expenditure of millions in public funds.”
No lies detected.
That’s kinda the difference - local specialties mostly can’t be beaten on their own turf. Also, in America you’ve got to actually seek out the good stuff and go local, the InBev stuff is meticulously targeted at swine with no taste.
I wish my kid could sit still for that kind of thing. We have been at the Hobbit for over two months and we just now got to the trolls.
That’s his arc, he goes from a scrappy underdog to a shitty human monster.
I used to feel that way about anything from more than a few years ago. I had to grow up fast, and so it was often easier to forget and move on than remember or even process anything. I grew up with too few memories of my childhood.
In order to become a more integrated self, it was necessary to face the past. It can be a difficult process.
Authoritarianism isn’t an ideology per se, and often dictatorship isn’t official. Even Stalin was the “general secretary” of his party. And yet, authoritarianism of every stripe demonstrates similar styles regardless of their political ideology. Smashing dissent, regressive economics and consolidated power, militarism, etc. These have never been solely the purview of avowed fascists. So no, for most of those that suffer under dictators, the ideology of those thugs rarely matter.
But make no mistake, a multi-party democracy with varied ideologies is not the opposite of authoritarianism. Factions can be just as much a poison pill, if the balance of powers are not subordinate to an informed electorate. The opposite of authoritarianism is anarchism.
I hear fascist crushers are understaffed
… You’re on what list?
Is a fair election when a violent insurrectionist, a literal traitor to the republic, is allowed to run for office?
We zigged when we should have zagged a long time ago.
