3rd party, in america, is mathematically and sociologically a waste of a vote
you have FPTP; you do not have STV or RCV etc

oh 100%!
and there are so many disingenuous arguments going around like “they voted for hamas! fuck around and find out!”… well, if you think that then you don’t get to complain about american politics (as most people do): https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/11/01/majority-palestinians-gaza-elect-hamas/
as usual with this shit show of a conflict, it seems both sides are awful: hamas used the hospital as a command post which means israel has to be able to attack it, however attacking it with indiscriminate shelling is absolutely unacceptable
both entities are completely unacceptable… debating which one is more so is outrageous, and if anyone “sides” with either one they’re morally corrupt, brainwashed, or too stupid to comprehend anything but binaries
okay so you’re making a choice that as long as you’re not involved it’s okay for trump to win
cool cool cool so vote for trump and things get even worse for the palestinians
again, reality is fucked but that doesn’t change that it’s reality… work within the bounds of what’s possible rather than pissing into the wind because you don’t like the options
you can be done with it as much as you like but that doesn’t change reality… FPTP is absolute shit: vote for the lesser evil or you get the greater evil… that’s just the way it is
want something different? you have to change the system first
that’s just reality. deal with it or vulnerable people die and hate wins
however the cheapest way to make hydrogen is from fossil fuels, so it also continues to line the pockets of the fossil fuel industry until people figure that out and mount enough pressure to force another transition
yeah stupid people like most tech workers who just need their tech to work as expected rather than be “customisable”
there’s value in the “just works” when not working costs you hundreds of $ per hour that it doesn’t work
$2000 for a phone is nothing when it’s a professional device
100% this… words are cheap, and he needs to do everything he can for his country… supporting palestine or staying silent gets him nothing, and potentially loses quite a bit in retaliation
it really doesn’t matter what he thinks is fair or just
it’s possible that $14bn is just what’s needed to get republicans to the table to send the rest to ukraine
recycling, containment, disposal… i’m pretty sure forever chemicals aren’t actually forever: put enough energy into them and we can probably make them no longer forever chemicals… it’s only a problem because we don’t contain and process them
You are right, threads go on tangents.
this wasn’t a tangent, it was a u-turn 16min after the article was posted
first thing that came to mind was comparing it to us the USA.
then the exact propaganda that’s being talked about in the article has worked spectacularly. congratulations on helping russia destabilise democracy across the world without even realising it
I see a lot of media talking about other nations, while we still need to improve ours, maybe that is why it keeps popping up.
world: exists
US: HEY ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THATS NOT ME?!?
The fix your house before you start criticing others houses, statement.
no, it’s nothing like that at all, because this is an autocracy trying to literally destabilise democracy across the world and significantly negatively effect the lives of billions at a time when the world is the least stable and closest to the brink of war that it has been for decades… it is not a house
literally nobody disregards it… every thread anywhere someone points out the US
WE ALL AGREE! but ITS ALSO NOT OKAY FOR RUSSIA… and thats what the thread is about
russian elections to not meet the standard of free and fair elections… thus, russia has theatre
study is a stretch… a guy asked a bunch of people
i can tell you right now as someone deep in the pet
play community that its position is entirely incorrect
i’m sure they learned plenty of things about the old game engine they built
and now they have a new one… which was the whole point
that’s true, but this would require time and money to implement, market, etc, and would almost certainly require big b2b contracts to be signed
(small) rocket science is much less hard now that it’s pretty well documented on the internet afaik
sure as shit works for most LGBTQIA+!
