furryprovocateur:

literally why is gerrymandering legal. why is america the stupid idiot country.

ndiamichelle:

This could be counterproductive if people actually vote. Everywhere. We can blame the system and politicians all we want but if people don’t get off their ass to vote correctly or just vote in general that would probably solve a good chunk of our problems.

furryprovocateur:

enthralled at the interpretation of the world you have. the best way to vote out a system that exists to suppress votes and bottleneck specific populations from being heard is to vote harder. tell me more.

toloveviceforitself:

There’s a certain kind of democrat whose whole politics is basically “if the entire population just acted in a way they’ve never acted before on a level that borders on the miraculous, we could win without changing anything else about how democrats govern or campaign!” and they think that’s not only a useful insight, but a good justification for rejecting literally any alteration of their ideology, their strategy, or even suggestions that (on the occasions they have power) they alter the rigged system that requires such miracles in the first place.

            This comment seems really uncalled for. Number list format in 2025, filling it out to make three? So tacky. I have to side with the other weenie now just on pure style points. Fuck you for making me do this.

              I feel 0 remorse on using a numbered list. Why would that possibly be something that becomes outdated based on year? Does an efficient ordered presentation of data become passé because, I don’t know, some fucking dorks decided it’s lame or whatever

              I don’t even care about whatever the original post was about. I will die on this hill

              The points of you at either end, that kind of pucker like a convex asshole, because of being a weenie? I would say they only pointed them out, and not conclusively proved them to any high standard.
