  • I'm excited to hear about the new instance you are hosting. Let us know when it's online.

  • Shitposting makes lemmy float to the top of the toilet bowl!

  • Driver exists the work van.

    They walk past you to your fridge and puts a "sorry we missed you" sticker on it.

    They get into their van and back out of your house.

    IS SLAVE STATE

    Never has been.

    Is a two party system really a democracy?

    If you think so, let me pick the two options you get to choose from for the rest of your life. Does that sound appealing to you? Would just fully represent the country?

    No you don't ever get a chance to change your two options, I picked them for you. You will fall in love with one of them, the other you will hate. This is democracy, you being forced to pico from the two options I gave you.

  • The LPC needs to be 100x better at communication

    Maybe someone should communicate to them that they were elected when they promised electoral reform and they never delivered.

  • If we replaced First past the post voting, Republicans could be free to vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect. This would spur the creation of new political parties and encourage a competition on who can represent people the best.

  • And I voted for genocide and union strike breaking.

    First Past The post voting pushed us all into a corner and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. The democrats will proclaim they are not trump, and everyone will vote against their self interests yet again.

  • Something like 80% of young people don’t move farther than 100 miles from home.

    FYI, that costs money.

  • Why do you think the liberal party refuses to pass the electoral reform they promised? They want you hostage. They want you to be desperate and to give up civil liberties to keep the conservatives at bay.

  • Don't forget democrats thought Genocide was more important then stopping trump.

    Priorities

  • But forcing people to vote for your preference (genocide) is not democracy. With a more representative electoral system, people could be free to vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect.

    Since how we vote is controlled at the state level, democrats in blue states have made a policy choice to keep these people unrepresented by their optionsin the voting booth. Why are you putting blame for the actions (and the consequences) of the Democratic party's choices onto people with no representation in government?

    Can you just go back and read your comment again? You casually bring up how a large portion of the electorate is unrepresented and how it's a funny joke? No wonder trump won. Do you really think you're in the right by denying people the right to vote how they want. Do honestly think that's what democracy should be?

    Trump didn't kill democracy, it was long dead in this country. And people like you cheered it on the entire time.

    Gross.
