What? When?
It’s all you can expect from the bOtH siDeS groupies.
It's fun asking them to prove it. They never seem to be able to, as this absolute broomstick has again shown.
Make sides less important with state level electoral reform. People should be free to vote for who best represents them while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.
Videos on Electoral Reform
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
STAR voting
Alternative vote
Ranked Choice voting
Range Voting
Single Transferable Vote
Mixed Member Proportional representation
The solution is more democracy, not telling people they get no choice in the matter.
Any updates on your electoral reform campaign in your state Rhoeri?
Um, have you actually seen her speak
So you can't point to an example. Got it.
Anyway, keep crying about maga I guess… don’t look inwards to understand why the shitty dem candidate lost. It’s definitely the independent and progressives fault. And besides, everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist and a racist.
So you can't answer. I'm not even from the US and know better. What's your excuse?
I don’t need an excuse to point out the obvious fact that Kamala Harris is a terrible orator who can’t talk her way out of a cardboard box if it’s not a rehearsed talking point on a teleprompter. She’s looks genuinely uncomfortable when speaking in public. If you can’t see it and you think that makes me a maga you need to get some new glasses lol. You drank way too much blue no matter who kool aid.
If it's so obvious, why are you unable to provide a single example?
Yes, multiple times, why haven’t you considered the problem might be you?
You can ad hominem attack me all you want but shitty democrat candidate with shitty policy’s lost the election.
And blaming the voters for your shitty candidate losing instead of the shitty candidate is going to be another losing strategy.
That’s not an ad hominem. Your ability to follow her speech is directly relevant to your perception that she is unskilled at speaking. I am directly addressing a flaw in your thinking and that isn’t an example of ad hominem as in this case it is germane to the topic at hand.
This is no different than me saying Macron was a bad speaker and you pointing out my belief that he’s a bad speaker might have something to do with the fact that Im not a french speaker. Neither is an example of ad hominem
