Maybe the journalist wanted to be “neutral” and “unbiased” and thought that meant pulling a bOtH SiDeS

He’s a poor conman who got lucky to have really gullible marks.

How does suing in a different country work, for instances in Europe? Do they actually have any leverage?

Good luck finding “all the domain names”. IDK about suing, but unlike centralised monoliths like Facebook, you’d have to sue every instance violating your rules separately, and that’s assuming you can pin down who and where to sue for each of them.

I got out-pedanted? Impossibile!

Bene factum

“The demented felon rapist backed by christofascist authoritarians seeking to abolish democracy is just as bad as the lawyer that promises tax credits to the lower and middle class, banning price gouging and has sued Big Oil in the past, whose running mate publicly endorses RCV which would make additional parties viable”

You’re repeating yourself.

Supporting third-party candidates isn’t about splitting the vote

…but that’s the practical effect

—it’s about pushing for the reforms necessary to break the two-party monopoly that limits our democracy

…which you expect to happen, if Trump wins?

And no, I’m not a “republican muppet” just because I am not voting for your candidate. If I wanted to vote republican, then I’d vote republican.

I don’t think you want to vote Republican. I don’t think you want a Republican government. I think you consider it an acceptable alternative to sacrificing principles. And therein lies the issue.

The question at the heart of it all - and try to answer just yes or no - is this:

Do you think Trump is preferable to Harris?

That’s a yes then.

The point is that this isn’t just about conscientious voting. There is a strategic element to it. That’s the unfortunate reality, and standing on principles alone won’t change it.

Support efforts to abolish the FPTP system to replace it with something like RCV, where you could then in good conscience vote Green first and Dem second. Support efforts at proportional representation to have Green members in the Houses. Support anything thay breaks up the two-party monopoly so that voting for a candidate who truly represents your values no longer becomes a political gamble.

But if you’re saying “I’d rather split the left-wing votes and risk a Trump victory than vote for Harris”, people will rightly call you a Republican muppet, because you’d essentially prefer Trump over Harris.

So you’d rather have a Republican victory than a mediocre Democrat?

Okay Imma pick a fight here. Your suggestion is the opposite of pedantic. It advocates for a “vulgarisation” of Latin loanwords (in the sense of “making them more like common words”).

I want to go back to pluralising more words in line with their Greek or Latin roots. I want to reverse the perfectly natural and reasonable linguistic shift you’re proposing and instead restore or retain that piece of linguistic anachronism as long as possible.

You were shown a simple demonstration of the Spoiler Effect, which may cause Republicans to win the race if a third party manages to draw votes away from Democrats.

You’re still endorsing voting third party, saying you don’t care.

You’re endorsing helping Republicans.

What the other poster is implying isn’t that Republicans may vote Green. On the contrary, it’s that Democrats may vote Green and split their vote, while Republicans will stand united.

At the end of the day, when the votes are counted, your ideology doesn’t matter. Why you voted the way you did doesn’t matter. What matters is who wins the election, and if you’re consciously proposing an election strategy that may aid the Republicans, you’re contributing to their chances of victory.

And if you’re helping Republicans, don’t be surprised if people call you a Republican.

The difference between a million and a billioj is about one billion. Millionaires aren’t the biggest bloodsuckers by a long shot, so the focus right now is on damage control by opposing the parasites.

Nah, once you already own it, you gain nothing by selling it again. Tesla got their money already. Might as well keep using it.

Recently got to help clean some piece of shit’s old apartment so friends could move in. There were yellow-ish stains around the lightswitch. And plenty of other places around the loo too, but point is: some people are disgusting.

When we rhetorically ask “Is the US alright?”, that’s what we’re implying: “Is there any part of it actually left of our center?”

Looking at the picture of the protesters and her grieving mother, it does seem quite possible.

What the fuck is wrong with humans?

Okay, I’m holding your bear, what now? It looks fluffy, can I pet it? Is it cuddle-safe?

Yeah, but if he does it and gets charged for this abuse of power, it will probably be tried before the Supreme Court, meaning they’ll get to ratify whether it actually was official business.

Only if the SCOTUS decides it’s official presidential business tho
