What I’ve heard is that it prevents “tyranny of the majority”, whereby the majority would just get their way 100% of the time.

I know that sounds like exactly what should happen, but I think the thought is that sometimes the majority does not vote in the country’s best interest.

As an exaggerated example, say there is some budget concern that would allocate all money to urban business and zero to rural. Depriving rural business like farms of this funding would cripple the country’s food reserves. But the majority live in urban environments, so they’d vote selfishly and fuck up the country. So rural voters are given more power to balance it out.

Now in my opinion - I don’t care about any of that. And I think if the majority votes one way and fucks up the country, so be it. Gotta learn to vote in the country’s interest and not your own.

Yeah I immediately thought of being in school reading about Washington crossing the Delaware and how future generations will read about dark Brandon memes.

Hey the good news is after you beat it like 5 times it becomes way way easier.

Took me in the 30s to beat it once but now it is rare for me to not beat it.

My first thought

Yeah I built a few react apps that made it to production about 7 years ago.

Now the react syntax I used back then is basically a dead language.

Imagine caring about people caring

Are people not using Memmy?

I can’t keep up with all the apps anymore.

Makes you wonder how many times in the past the bad guys won and it’s just been framed as the good guys winning in history books.

I used to do that as well for a bit but once I tried Memmy I never went back

Dude get a fucking hobby.

It’s cringe and embarrassing to me. That’s all I’m saying.

When all of those things happen and Reddit is gone, spez will still be filthy rich.

Instead of being more rich than 90% of people he’ll be more rich than 86% of people.

Yeah I mean if a 4 year old talks to me I can usually decipher what they are trying to say.

Guess she just knows her audience is buzzword-craving 21 year old Redditors then.

Salon.com articles always sound like a 21 year old Redditor wrote them.

“The grifters that make up the troll-industrial complex are not okay.”

Who writes this lmao. Do they spin a wheel of buzzwords and just write a sentence with whatever comes up?

Yeah there is a reason why stories or videos or movies showcasing justice are so popular. It’s because very rarely in your life do you see real justice.

You need those movies and videos to show you the good guys winning because most times in life the bad guy wins.

Unfortunately, there are lots of situations in life where being a piece of shit gets you rewards.

That person cutting you off in traffic, grabbing the last item on the shelf when you were there first, cutting in line, cheating on their taxes, stealing the job you were in line to get, along with the infinite examples of this in the business and political world.

The vast vast majority of assholes never face real consequences, and those consequences rarely outweigh the benefits they’ve enjoyed from being an asshole.

With corporations owning politicians, an education crisis, a housing crisis, and the entire country hating eachother it doesn’t matter what voting system you tack on. We need some sort of reboot as a country on many levels.

It’s difficult to figure out what to do when copies of your particular niche community exist in 5 different places, all with very similar subscriber counts.
