The fact that I thought this could be real for a good five seconds.

The fact that signal isn’t even on this list is my daily fediverse reminder of how much of a normie I am with my privacy precautions. Wth is a meshcore

Something needs to change, that’s for sure. Whatever the “founding fathers” imagined is completely detached from reality on the ground, and there should perhaps be a reevaluation of what “united states” mean after being a union for so long, and what the role of the federal government is and how it has evolved and where we want it to be, then amend the constitution based on that, and move on to a fairer voting system. I still think rank choice or other similar systems would be a lot more progressive than the popular vote.

I meant to say exactly this- if we’re gonna replace electoral college we need to do with the better and more equitable system that would stand the test of time.

Absolutelt true for a singular nation state, but America is a union of many states, and a popular vote would mean member states with dense urban cities will forever be the decision makers of who is sitting at the executive branch, while agricultural states will basically get no say. I am not saying the current system is fair, just that if we want to overhaul it, it’s better to go all in for an even better option that won’t cause other problems down the line.

The electoral college was put there so the denselr populated States do not get any advantage over the less populated ones, giving each member state equal power. It didn’t work out well as they didn’t account for the possibility of such huge difference in populations. I don’t think the solution is to treat the union as a single country and count the overall votes though. Ranked choice or other even better ranked systems are the way forward in my opinion.

When they finish the snack and expect you to take the packaging. WHY CAN’T YOU JUST THROW IT ON THE CAR FLOOR LIKE YOU THROW LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

Massie is leaving in January and I guess he counted on some GOP members taking their shot at distancing from Maga after the midterm results.

Wasn’t there a whole mainstream media report on him having an AIPAC handler who whispered in his ears 24/7? I thought that had cleared the air about the reason for the switch in people’s minds but I guess not.

He also was the first major politician to talk about the concept of “blowback” regarding 9/11 being the inevitable result of the U.S. military involvement in the middle east. He was truly anti-war to the core.

I got curious and looked and that guy’s every other comment has the word “commie” in it lol

Who’s gonna “keep the left pro-Israel” if he retires, won’t someone think of defense contractors’ access to live human testing fields?

Nothing to see here. Just Jeffries parroting the talking points he received after Hus secret meeting with Kushner.

I looked it up and found it. It was Kansas! Very cool

It’s worse than caving. Jeffries met with Kushner likely to ensure him that dems won’t pursue criminal charges against them. Now this with Schumer. These people are traitors.

Wherever they do this I kinda wish a group of masc trans men organize and go in various public women’s bathrooms together until everyone realizes how stupid this shit is.

Earl gray. Hot. While watching the Epstein criminal class tried and convicted. Whole human trafficking and drug smuggling operations being exposed and brought down. A sliver of Justice. Make it so, oh please gods of trek and beyond.

Shout out to various mom groups that organized, canvassed and door knocked for Gina, all in hopes of saving the Texas public education from the christo-fascist legislators who have been gutting the funding and changing the curriculum to indoctrinate the kids with their religious believes.
