You poor people need to get over yourselves and admit that the lines on the graph of economic factors that exclude poor people look good. Stop feeling sorry for yourselves, the fact that you aren’t happy about us making money is going to LOSE US THE ELECTION so get serious ok?
The other guy is worse, so we really don’t have to listen to a damn thing you say at all and you have to vote for our guy, get that through your poverty addled brains.

I mean I hate to say it but this is unironically true. As bad as things are now The Other Guy absolutely would make things worse. Neoliberals may be a scourge but MAGA is cancer. One of the bad cancers. Not even prostate cancer, like pancreatic cancer.
wait until you see the immense disproportionality of the Hungarian voting system. MMP sounds nice, but the implementation makes it possible for our beloved leader to lose the popular vote and win 2/3 of the Parliament. 48% to 67% of seats. Lovely, eh? That was 2014. Unfortunately our demagogue brainwasher has now convinced 54% of voters the last time. And he won the exact same 2/3 sup.majority.
I really wish there was a way to quantify how dumb a country was in terms of its GDP (not the humans being physically less intelligent, just the culture is stupid even when there is abundant money to fund things) because it would be really fun to watch the US and UK keep fighting neck and neck to be in the lead.
It would be like following a sports rivalry between two unstoppable teams, except the unstoppable aspect is how much everything is stopping from falling apart for no good reason.
Yeah the 3rd guy believes the attempted armed insurrection that was televised didn’t really happen and wasn’t armed. And he wants you believe he is anti trump while also telling you Biden is the worse option for democracy. At the same time his leading donor is a major trump supporter and donor. How is Kennedy a 3rd party and not a GOP plant?
Can I nitpick a thing? 01/06 gave me fucking PTSD. I watched for 8-hours that day and can’t watch 60-seconds now. I really can’t. I can barely glance at a picture. Now I truly know what triggered means.
But those animals weren’t “armed” in any sense of the word as we typically understand it. Yes, some had guns “off campus”, but they were too pussy to bring 'em.
Anyway, sorry. I’ll be the last human on Earth to downplay that day.
If they want to start showing out armed? Aight. Not all liberals are gun shy.
Not if you wish to count in the US. A vote cast to some random is a vote that may as well not have happened in a general election. You’re not showing a despite for the 2 party system in the federal general election. The time for that is the off year elections. Successfully get some reps or senators elected, frequently enough, then something may count there. Otherwise, the only real hope for more than 2 choices is to force one of the two parties to collapse.

STOP BELIEVING YOUR LYING EYES AND DISREGARD YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCE. LOOK AT THE CHART.
LINE GO UP! This is good for economy! You want line to go up don’t you? If you don’t, you let the communists win
This sounds nice and pithy but it’s exactly what I repeated to conservatives throughout the pandemic.
Cons: “No one around me is dying and we’re all fine. I went to the hospital and it’s empty. What’s the big deal???”
Everyone with half a brain: “You’re talking about anecdotes. What matters is the data and it’s damning. Lots of people are dying.”
Edit:
To clarify, I mean that this applies to the economy as a whole. Not that everyone does well when the market does.
I appreciate your sentiment, but your lived experience is not everyone else’s lived experience.
My lived experience is racism is dead because I’m not racist and neither are friends.
Sexual assault doesn’t happen because I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone and only one person I know has been sexually assaulted.
The economy is doing great because my company handed out $10k bonuses to all employees this year along with a 5% raise.
Which lived experience should we believe?
People here can’t seem to understand sarcasm
Poe’s Law and all that; conservative opinions are nearly universally idiotic enough that it’s hard to tell them apart from parody / sarcasm
Let me leave this here :
― A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
And also money, a poverty of money.
Let me just leave this here
Yup. That’s pretty much the state of it.
There are more than 2 options you dork
Unfortunately not because of an even worse version of the worst voting system in democracies: Fucked Past the Post.
I honestly don’t know how America managed to make a worse two party system than the uk
