This is what we all wanted, right?
Definitely all the people who told us both sides were the same, or that Kamala would be just as bad.
They knew what they were doing.
Reduce the influence of party lines through state-level electoral reform. Voters should have the freedom to choose the candidate who best represents them, while still ensuring their vote counts if their preferred candidate doesn’t win.
The answer lies in expanding democracy, not in restricting voters' choices.

First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
Right, but strategic electoral voting is required until we add some sanity to the system of we want to even be able to try to implement sanity.
Something plenty of those on the left refuse to acknowledge while actively shooting the movement in the foot.
The moral thing to do here is to commandeer that food and distribute it however you can before it spoils.
Waste not want not.
That would probably land you in prison for 20 years.
Not if there’s enough of you.
Or if you're a senator
He doesn't care.
Donald Trump isn't just evil. Donald Trump is stupid.
Not only does his agenda not further the interests of America, it doesn't further the professed values of the Republican Party.
The sole guiding principle of the Republican Party is: Hurt the right people.
To clarify, nearly all of this food has already left the United States, except for 1 warehouse in Houston. It's already been paid for, and as it sits, it costs money to store it.
This is like buying 3 dozen eggs from Whole Foods and setting them in the hot sun after you get home because you decided to punch yourself in the face until you passed out before putting them away.
The report, which the inspector general of the U.S. Agency for International Development published late Monday afternoon
Thats the problem, they didn't fire this inspector yet!
"But condoms for Hamas..."
Lol and the condom aid being for a Gaza in Mozambique and not the Middle East is hilarious
We have to work against all directives coming from this government now
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
