How do you stop a majority of the electoral college from completely trouncing the concerns of the other states?

People will believe anything about people they already hate.

It's in the last line of their comment:

But I also get worried that sometimes communies attack their closest allies for being imperfect harder than enemies actively working against their interests.

I would personally enjoy the only article about him ever reaching headline status again being his obituary.

We need another seven for his convictions and sentencing.

Musk has objected to legal orders to remove some posts and accounts in Brazil and Australia, claiming he was a champion of free speech, although he has been less vocal about removing content in countries such as Turkey and India.

What a coincidence he doesn't have a problem following countries with leaders infamous for oppressing minorities.

Even if you don't get an answer, it's good to keep at it long enough that it's obvious they're avoiding it.

For a long time Facebook counted an angry react as equal to five likes for measuring engagement. It's very much intentional.

That's standard in Western militaries. It means units aren't paralyzed by unexpected circumstances while they wait for communication to go up and down the chain of command, and it improves resilience if communications or senior officers are incapacitated.

It's not even psychology, it's just the optimal strategy.

Don't all countries have this problem?

They're against anyone else indoctrinating children.

For him to lose it he would have to have it in the first place.

Trump isn't even better for Israel, just for Netanyahu.

It's split. Democrats control the presidency and sort of the senate, Republicans control the house and the supreme court.

They're both problems.

The problem Trump has with the two party system is he wants it to be a one party system.

Ranked choice for presidency, proportional for congress (and the senate if that's worth having exist at all).

Only if the process is a bottom.

R loves to make voting harder under the auspices of “fraud prevention”.

They say, while their supporters are the ones committing all of the fraud.

The electoral college exists to give slave states more votes.

AES?

Edit: Found it, "Actually existing socialism"

Do you mean kill literally or metaphorically?

Individual constituencies are still two party, it's just not necessarily always the same two.

That's more complicated than it sounds. An export strengthening the currency is a significant part of Dutch Disease.

I bet no one remembers even a quarter of this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Donald_Trump

People talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.

I'll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, "if you're explaining, you're losing".

They give scraps and empty promises until you're no longer useful to them.

It's been well reported on that Russia doesn't work like that, with junior officers unable to use initiative and the whole system being very slow to respond to changing events. The reason it operates like this was shown when they did try having a more independent unit, which resulted in the Wagner Group mutinying.

Trump needs lead water pipes to get votes.

More often dictators take control of the church and use it for propaganda.

Fission is based on the fusion that took place in ancient supernovae.

States are fairly arbitrary divisions of land and I don't think they need representation separate from the representation their people have.
