That's literally the meaning of meme or memetic; ideas are passed on like a virus. I know it's annoying to repost memes but that is the circle of memes xD

President Eon isn't exactly working in the shadows lol.

For them, it's worth the cost for greater good.

Very strange indeed to pick Smedley. But actually like with many secret plots, if you go into the details, the conspirators can be surprisingly inept. The December plot to overthrow the Russian tsardom and replace it with a republic comes to mind. It failed because of lack of coordination, communication, and one of the major co-conspirators lost his nerve at the last minute and thus did not add numbers to the troops of rebels. There was plenty of idealism but it lacked the nerves and good plan execution.

Found a conspirator.

Although seriously, it's mentioned in the Wikipedia article that the investigating committee said there is strong evidence of the plotting. They didn't prosecute anyone becaus of course rich people won't be prosecuted. I have read rumours that Franklin Roosevelt may have made some backroom deal.

Why not advocate for both if not either? And look, even countries with FPTP still has other parties gaining seats. Look at Minessota and Alaska. Just look at Canada and UK. You know why? Because they organise. They have solidarity.

Again, repeating the FPTP excuse and saying nothing will ever work is what the establishments want you to think to give up and be complacent. To stick with the status quo who wants you to be comfortable with breadcrumbs. Or condition you not to form solidarity with those whose jobs have been oursourced and provided with nothing, and becoming easily manipulated voters who will support the far-right.

Elon is the new Henry Ford. But I'm afraid we have no modern day Roosevelts to smack him down.

That's why it's crucial to also promote ranked choice voting alongside third parties. Even Alaska and Minnesota have ranked choice voting, and the latter technically has a third party running the state for decades in spite of caucusing with Democrats. Alaska is actually pretty progressive with its universal basic income in spite of being Republican, with its Republicans being forced to compromise thanks to ranked choice voting.

Going on and on about FPTP and doing maths will get you nowhere and that is precisely what the establishment from both traditional parties wants you to do. It's to discourage mobilisation by making you think in cold raw logic without thinking outside the box, looking for inspiration from outside, and acting. Socrates said theory is nothing without action. Action is more important at the end of the day.

It's always been like that. It's throwing mud and hoping it sticks.

Like I said, organise and start at local and state level and then work way up. Third parties are successful in state and local levels. And it's not like third parties also never got seats at the federal level either. Third parties had been more successful 100 years ago. You're being brainwashed to believe that it's hopeless. Americans forgot how to organise and mobilise. They simply have to remember it.

What happened in Tianamen in 1989, Deep Seek?

Chomsky's manufactured consent in action (or someone who benefits from growing wealth inequality).

Lol. You're still missing the point. Democrats are still the same people who don't want any third parties to be elected. Why would they allow that to happen if the current system is what also puts them in power like the Republicans?

Think outside the box.

Who says vote D or R? Organise to have other third parties. They may not have a chance to win in federal elections, but they do well in local and state elections. Then work your way up to influence the federal government (and it's not like there has never been a third party gaining seats in Congress and Senate).

Read the quote from Noam Chomsky. You're being bamboozled to think tribally. You probably just don't hear about third parties in local and state level because the media wants you think within a spectrum of thoughts they allow people to have. Think outside the box. There are many other options.

Welp, as predicted. The reason that many news outlets are hesitant to call out Elon is because they know he will precisely do this. There are instances, of course, where news outlets have inherent bias and downplay some far-right activities (The New York Times in the 1920s claimed Hitler had been reformed after prison), but I think on this occasion news outlets have their fears founded. I'm not saying it's right but that's just how the world works.

Who says electoral reform only happens in blue states? Alaska has always been Republican since the beginning of its statehood but they have better electoral system with its ranked choice voting.

Fact of the matter is that most Americans are somewhere in the middle, and have more in common than you would be led to believe. Social media being controlled by powers that be divide and conquer the hearts and minds of ordinary Americans. If Alaska managed to even have a progressive system despite being a red state, then so are others. Get like-minded people in red states to also organise. Contrary to stereotype, there are many conservatives who are sane and also agree that money in politics is the major problem. You just haven't found them.

Eight hour working day, even the basic implementation of minimum wage, forbidding child labour, abolishing slavery, women being allowed to work outside their home and even 14-day paid leave were once considered "not perfect".

Do you know how these aforementioned basic rights and privileges we take for granted were actually achieved? Organising. But of course liberals won't get it. They benefit from the status quo. Either that or many Americans have been conditioned to think within an allowed frame of discourse by corporations and its media.

It's still stealing regardless of who called dibs first.

Hang on. You're saying that Democrats want bad change. But the other guy says nothing will change. Do liberals want change or no change? I'm so confused. No wonder the Democrats would rather lose.

Before reading any articles concerning Deep Seek's origin, it took me awhile to realise that they probably stole the data and technology from Western AI developers. Developing a better AI and as open source that quickly is pretty much impossible. And everyone knows that CCP steal IP and technology from the West so it's unsurprising.
