We need to protect our democracy, as the ability to freely choose between policies is fundamental to the perpetuation of a liberal society.

On that note, you have exactly one viable choice to make and it will - at absolute best - kick the can down the road for two years. At that point, you will once again be told we need to protect democracy.

At this point we're just hoping for the most damage mitigation possible.

Maybe if you did some collective action between events instead of waiting two years for the polls to open and then complaining that FPTP is still giving you only two choices.

Love this comment! As i commented elsewhere, get outside and make ur local politicians uncomfortable until they pass Rqnked Choice. Plenty of state level measures going around right now, no waiting necessary!

Maybe if you did some collective action

That would be crazy if I was doing that regularly.

I'll say, five minutes at the Houston Food Bank feels infinitely more productive than an hour waiting for access to the one functional voting machine in my district

We have to protect our democracy where there is no choice but to vote for Biden!

[-] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

What is the problem with Biden? As a non-American, I only notice how regularly Republicans block everything from the Democrats no matter how big the damage is and somehow the population embarrasses the Democrats for it or specifically biden... i.e. the same action against biden as from republicans or trump and that from the beginning. Why was Biden elected in the first place if both Republicans and Democrats use this to destroy democracy?

On the subject of genocide... Republicans and Democrats would apparently also be happier if the genocide took place against Israel, then increasingly against Ukraine and against the West. So that democracy in the West is destroyed further and further, especially by the fragmentation of their own shitty population.

[-] whoreticulture 3 points 7 months ago

You have no understanding.... Republicans and Democrats both support Israel. You're clearly very ignorant and I have no idea why you're being upvoted for this nonsense ahh comment

[-] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

When I talk about Republicans and Democrats, I am talking about the population and not just the politicians who represent them. Within the population there are protests etc. that further contribute to destabilization from both sides.

[-] whoreticulture 2 points 7 months ago

🙄🙄 that's literally a Trump line. don't speak on something you know nothing about

[-] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Well your first post you called me instantly ignorant now comparing with trump... while you ignoring what I wrote first "As a non-American, I only notice" while you ignoring stuff like the campus protest or the whole destabilization etc. But yea call me ignorant..

[-] whoreticulture 1 points 7 months ago

Yes, you admitted to your ignorance and kept yapping.

Trump literally said both sides caused deaths at Charlottesville even though it was the white supremacists who were the sole cause of violence. You are ignorant.

[-] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

You are ignorant even on the 2nd repetition to ignore the fact that I reflect the point of view as a non-American (I never said I was familiar with the political system itself, but I can give my view of what my impression of America is.) . Even better you just absolve Republicans and Democrats of racism which apparently doesn't exist in your opinion... awesome you just solved the racism problem you genius there is simply no racism in Republicans and Democrats.... so simple damn.
