Prime examples being the stuff around Brexit or Roe v Wade

I think one of the reasons we might be discussing Reddit so much is because it's the one unifying topic that everyone on here can relate to.

The wave of populists across the democratic world has lead to more corruption and complacency at the top and more distrust and disconnection with the average voter.

I like this because I can see the bee in it (when I know it's meant to be a bee) but I think it's lacking some more defined features because currently at a glance it just looks like a region of colour.

Oh sorry to hear that :-( I feel very lucky now that it just seemed to click for me

What did it predict?

neither Trump or Biden

Needless to mention ex-democracies such as Turkey, Hungary, etc.

Oh no, what a shame! I bet HP are so sorry to be sending that notification and wish they could hide it

Oh same, I use Google keep for personal organisation and one note for actual note taking on my tablet. Google keep has an unofficial API that you can use to script it. I wish there was an open source alternative to it though tbf. I honestly don't understand where Google derives profit from it is it's just short incongruous scraps of text

Is he like another spez?

Who even eats cake

Does it still have the pizza inside to help stop the arrows?

Yeah, Biden does nothing at all to galvanize voters

Very well argued. This is quite unrelated but just out of interest, how realistic do you see constitutional reform in the US? Because to me as an outsider, that seems to me to be what US politics sorely needs rn. Is there appetite for it among the electorate? Among the Dems? Could it be conceivably carried out?

The US sorely needs at least one state to adopt PR for sending Representatives to Washington.

It's because the election system is First Past the Post. If they changed it to Ranked Choice Voting, all candidates from both primaries (plus independents) could run in the election and it would be up to the public to decide which of them is best, with their vote going to a fallback candidate if their favourite doesn't win.

Agreed. The best thing is, only one state needs to adopt proportional representation for sending reps to Congress for it to have an impact. Even a small new party with a dozen seats is likely to be a tie breaker.

Jerboa has the three dots too

Thank goodness for that

Can't the government be taken to court for breaking the constitution?

Smug lil boi

I'd love to visit Svalbard, or another remote northern locaiton, too. Is Svalbard the one with the abandoned Russian coal mining settlement?

I got the king Kong Mini 2. The opposite of a brick (it's tiny), probably US compatible, and the back literally has screws on it for when you need to change the battery/sim. Also £80

Look into the king Kong Mini.

Doesn't Biden have any contenders within the Dems?

Do they see him as an election winner? Or is he just dancing to their tune?

Please please point me to how I can join the p2p community. I too strongly believe it's the way forward but don't know what protocols/things people are using

This diagram has opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world.

That would make sense

Ok this is sick. And for that price

I imagine that the values that someone has to have in order to support the idea of free software will be vaguely political. But of course, free software will inevitably get stolen by people with different political values who do not believe the ethos of its licensing.

Yeah what is it with 2023 and enshittification? This has been such a bad year in general

What do you think are the chances of them being around in 5 years time? I really want to get this as my next phone but for now I'm happy with my current phone (King Kong Mini 2)
