Well, the polls show Donny Losing to Kammy

OK, that makes more sense than what I was thinking. Although it goes against the grain of lots of my background training, along the lines of "If you have a shadow of a doubt, you have already given up/lost" But one could say different circumstances than war or used car sales.

Spooky, I have the local news on in the background and during sign off they just now introduced a story for the 11 show, about ranked choice voting.

Yeah. Very different.

The problem is IRV (RCV) is difficult to explain and most people don't know about it. But it works very well when implemented and is far more democratic than voting out of fear of the candidate you hate.

I think there are three major issues in the US.

1. Money in politics. It can't do anything but corrupt the politicians.
2. The electoral college. Total BS
3. The 2-party system that doesn't allow for IRV, and therefore everyone votes for the lesser of two evils. It's crippling the whole system, and is why you have so many people who just don't vote.

Trump fluffer help us out here, is this slogan 'Trump or death' mean he'll check out so to speak if Trump is not elected? Or will he go so far as to produce a mind numbing podcast ignored by millions and millions and millions?

What in tarnation is wrong with that boy?



"Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault"

 

[MrNiceGuy]

Isn't speech at its most basic level "propaganda", ie giving or exchanging of information?
Gary posts about the evils of "The Duopoly" everyday...in my estimation, primaries are for the masses of candidates to state their cases and hope they win the ticket to the final countdown....I've yet to see a compelling argument for a better system of choosing elected office holders, no matter how many times I see the word duopoly. I don't see the Parliamentary system many of our EU friends have, where you have 6+/- parties that have to ultimately all band together to form a government, hey you Crypto-Fascists Join us Greens and we'll rule the world!!

Change my mind.


My pet theory is we need to overhaul how we fund campaigns, I think we can all agree that when our crush wins a seat at the table we want them governmenting hard af, not spending half their time "fundraising" take the big money out of the political machinery. If we want to have debates let them be moderated and fact checked in rt debates.

Nobody would be fundraising after winning an election if everyone was limited to one term by *gasp* TERM LIMITS!

If everyone who thinks both Trump and Harris suck would vote for Jill Stein we could have our first president who happens to be a woman and... this is the best part... she WOULDN'T SUCK!

TBH, i would prefer Tulsi Gabbard.

Only because you want to ride her like a Disneyworld attraction.

She's another political chameleon... when the democrats said "no thank you" to her executive office ambitions she jumped ship and started 'reinventing' herself. She wouldn't fundamentally change anything because she's driven by personal advancement, not ideological vision. She'd be just another tool of the permanent state power structure.

This is both shocking and game changing news, the achy breaky heart guy has granted his endorsement to Trump!

Obama was a state senator once, a US senator once, and president twice.

Are you seriously calling Obama a n00b?

Love you man, but sometimes you seriously derail your own arguments.

Like Luke said, Let go of your hate (of me), and critically think.

I only make fun of you in jest but you allow your disdain for me to cloud your judgement.

Maybe he's gonna explain how the assassination attempt gave him brain damage.

That was a rare event. Very few people are ever going to go from one term as state senator and one term as US senator to prez. Having new people in congress every few years would hardly be good for the country. The thing that WOULD be good would be to outlaw and enforce profiting from being in office, AND to completely eliminate the whole fundraising machine.

I sent that meme to my Sister that doesn't the follow the nonsense as much as me, she wasn't sure if this was real and if they were really that thin skinned and unaware of how they act.

Less drugs loser! Less crying too. Are you house-bound? Are you a cripple? Go outside and get some fresh air! Cock sucker! Lol

Something the French did to offend them. Surely there will be something.

"Why Olympic girl support extreme leftist communisms, have we inspected her genitalia yet to make sure she ain't hiding a johnson rod in them little tights?" Stable Genius
