       @enigmatico Point of order... It's the Americans who like to *remove* 'u' from those words.

       @Elizafox The US electoral system is 'First Past the Post' or Winner takes all.Those systems inevitably end up with two parties: Awful, and Slightly Less Awful.If you do not vote for 'Slightly Less Awful' you get 'Awful'.Those are your choices. If you think 'Any Republican' is worse than 'Gavin Newson', vote for Gavin Newsom or you get 'Any Republican'.This purity bullshit about 'OMG my candidate does some awful things!' will get you the worst possible outcome.Here's your solution: Vote for 'Slightly Less Awful' party every time. In local elections support candidates who want to reform US elections into a Proportional Representation system. (There are several systems to choose from).With proportional representational systems of government you tend toward less extreme polarization of parties because *every vote counts* even those for third parties. But for now, vote 'Less Awful', or get Awful. Those are your *only* choices.

       @IngaLovinde @Elizafox I'm in 100% agreement with you there!Regrettably life rarely gives out ponies. So swallowing bile and doing what is necessary is often required.And, hey, Trump cant run for a third term... right?  RIGHT?There was a time when the rule of law applied in America. Not so much now.

       @IngaLovinde @Elizafox I'm agreeing with you, 100%I don't think he should be the democratic presidential nominee.I'm with you there.Come 2028 examine what the best likely outcome for the planet is, and vote for the party most likely to bring it about. (Or... least likely to screw us all entirely is probably more accurate).Be it Mouldy Sock vs JDVance - whatever. We have exactly one rock to stand on. Vote for Longest Viability of Rock to Stand On. Everything else is just wankery.

       @lardmotel And it's not just that there are wankers in the administration. It's that there are wankers who elected them *twice*

       @Paradox There's an old joke... A man walks into a bar and sees a sad patron at a table he asks what's wrong."You see the stone bridge there? I designed that. Do they call me Rob the bridge-builder? They do not. You see that school by the road? I built that. Do they call me Rob the School builder? They do not.But you fuck one goat...

       @stux "Wtf is happening on this planet.."Obscenely wealthy people have put in place mechanisms to ensure only supporters of obscene wealth get into positions of power.I dont believe there is any longer a mechanism to reverse this - all those mechanisms have been subverted.

       @Paradox 2024 was the last opportunity to slow the advance of fascism.
