Get FUCKED turbo tax. Fuck you forever.

The elimination of the First Past the Post voting system would allow voters to support third-party candidates without the fear of causing a spoiler effect. This change would promote greater competition in elections, improving the caliber of candidates available to all voters. Also, it is likely to boost voter turnout and increase political engagement.

Electoral reform has already been achieved at the state level; Alaska and Maine have successfully implemented changes to their electoral systems, demonstrating that broader reform is feasible.

However, Republicans have taken steps to preserve the First Past the Post voting system. For instance, Florida recently outlawed Ranked Choice voting. Despite this setback, there are numerous alternatives to First Past the Post, ensuring that bans like Florida’s do not obstruct progress toward electoral reform.

This raises the question: why do predominantly Democratic states continue to utilize First Past the Post voting? Why continueto use a voting system favored by Republicans? In states controlled by Democrats, there are no Republican obstacles preventing these reforms.

It is evident that Democrats recognize the shortcomings of First Past the Post voting. Mentioning third-party voting on social media often prompts numerous Democrats to caution against “wasting” votes that could inadvertently benefit Republicans. It is perplexing to acknowledge flaws in the voting system yet fail to take action to address them. Lecturing others about the drawbacks of First Past the Post voting while neglecting to pursue solutions is contradictory and counterproductive.

I was broke as hell and the vasectomy was going to cost $700.

I finally saved $700, and when I went in they said "shit dawg, you're broke as hell. Here is this program to make it free"

So even if you can't afford it, try reaching out to your local planned parenthood. They know how to navigate the benefit system better then you.

The LWV (League of Woman Voters) sponsored the United States presidential debates in 1976, 1980 and 1984.[75][76] On October 2, 1988, the LWV's 14 trustees voted unanimously to pull out of the debates, and on October 3 they issued a press release condemning the demands of the major candidates' campaigns. LWV President Nancy Neuman said that the debate format would "perpetrate a fraud on the American voter" and that the organization did not intend to "become an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public."[77][78] All presidential debates since 1988 have been sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates,[79] a bipartisan organization run by the two major parties that some argue has established rules with the intent to exclude airing candidates associated with other parties.[80]

Given the urgency of our predicament, wouldn't you say it would be wise to use every tool at our disposal to maintain our democracy?

What if we tried using a voting system that wasn't first past the post voting? That way, more then 2 political parties would be viable and there would be no spoiler effect.

Imagine several other people on that debate stage. Then it wouldn't be such a knife in the gut to see a poor performance coming from Joe biden. There would be other people to back. Other people to compete for the office. Other people to not let trump get away with his bullshit.

How we vote is controlled at the state level, we dont need to wait for federal reform! In fact some states have already passed electoral reform.

Here is an example of what Ranked Choice voting can do for us all:

Oops didn't mean to! Now spend more money!

In response to that Pyongyang announced early this week that it will be sending troops in the form of a military engineering unit to support Russian forces on the ground in the Donetsk region. The troops are expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as next month.

One engineering unit isn't much, but perhaps there is more to come. It didn't say anything in the article about future commitments.

Ilya Ponomarev, a former Russian member of parliament told the UK’s Daily Express that North Korea has become an important bridge between the Kremlin and China. Beijing can indirectly transfer military equipment to Moscow through Pyongyang without falling foul of Western sanctions.

As he explained: “North Korea is one of key Russian partners and the meaning of the rationale behind them becoming such a partner is because they are acting as a bridge between China and Russia.

“Essentially all the military equipment that is delivered from North Korea was developed for the North Koreans by the Chinese.

Perhaps this is less about North Korea then it appears on the surface. I wonder what Russia is giving China for this help?

Have you ever seen Adam Curtis's "Century of the Self"? Super long, but it goes on about how marketing and politics intertwined.

Why is the for profit house building industry involved in solving the problem they had a hand in making?

Reform the CPA and just build ourselves. Or use the army core of engineers. They are getting paid either way.

Shouldn't your enemy be the 1% that is funding the propaganda networks for both Republicans and democrats?

You just gotta have faith!

The early seasons were best. I think because it had more focus on the kids, and they did kid stuff while the ridiculous shit went down around them.

Matt and trey are ridiculously out of touch these days. Rich, a part of the system, can't write, and are coasting on their earlier successes. They have peaked.

What a couple of losers.

Why do we even have borders?

The 1% of their era needed to divide the people against themselves

Who invented money in the first place?

The 1% of their era wanted to amass more wealth with their gold deposits

Did they even think things through when they started the whole system?

Those in power did as they wished, and those who were not suffered what they must. Same old same old.

I was under the impression that the nation state should be dissolved and everyone forms communes that reflect their values.

Direct democracy can work way better with smaller communities.

The problem is, you would need a large federation of these communes to band together to defeat a hostile nation state level threat.

The federation! Oh shit

The answer is you want to build a train route through a mountain. You don't need it, thus we don't have to build it.

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

The alternative should be libraries hosting the peoples internet.

You may balk at the idea, much like you would have at the idea of free public libraries when originally conceived.

Don't talk to cops like this, they will ruin your life or end it. Use that energy to campaign for electoral reform in your state so we can break the bipartisan police state.

The real loophole to close is the theft of the working class's surplus labor value.

But then how would our politicians get their campaign contributions?

There are jobs I want to work, they just don't pay a living wage.

Internalize profits, externalize costs. That's our economic system at work.

Pretty sure some of the squad voted to stop the rail union from striking.

We deserve better representation, and we get that through state level electoral reform. We need to take the First Past the Post handcuffs off and start working on our many problems.

The class war continues, weather or not you fight back.
