FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

Haha losers. Imagine not having some form of preferential voting. Catch up idiots

go away troll no one gets any benefit from this shit

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The benefit is:

a) you know what needs to change

b) you know what country to move to if it doesn't change

c) it's entertaining

literal genocide is happening

trolling in the comments because “it’s entertaining”

disgusting and disturbing lmao. fuck off with that nonsense

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I never said genocide is entertaining. It's really not. How did you get from a joke about preferential voting not being in America to genocide? From what I understand of American politics both are potentially genocidal, so I don't even know how much preferential voting would help.

Where I live also doesn't have preferential voting if it makes you feel better.

It's not like you can't do anything about it

Approval Voting and the proportional variety, Sequential Proportional Approval Voting, are better choices than any ranked system, but pretty much dang near anything is better than the "choose one" standard.

The fact that we invented so many voting systems that work better than the current ones, but pretty much every nation with actual elections keeps using the same old flawed methods is really disheartening.

The last time Australia stood up to the USA (having bases on their land) they got couped.
