The media had a shitfit about Trump saying "get me out of here" during the G20 summit but like tbfh i would say the same thing
ikr
better than riots
Is there a single liberal in this whole place or is this just a giant echo chamber?
Define liberal
even left leaning
I dont think there are many opinions other than the standard issue right
which means debate here is largely pointless
You're going to have to get into specifics instead of vague tribal designations and butchered political terms (the latter being exactly what Liberal is at this point)
lets go with democrats
are there any democrats here
@DrYuriMom for sure. A lot of Europeans and Canadians in here though
So it'd be hard for them to vote Dem
I am a liberal. But in classical / european sense. That means low taxes, reduced welfare
Also worth remembering that Tim refers to himself as "left libertarian"
that would be me too lol
If anything the discord trends toward center, with some spicy radical bois mixing things up every so often
I'm an independent that generally votes Democrat but not because I really like them anymore
I've voted Republican. Did so last month for governor.
@Dugamar you mention that the βone man, one voteβ system leads to two party system. I disagree. It is all about the number of seats in an electoral district. This is the norm in e.g. USA and UK. Where you can only elect one representative in each district. In my country each district elect 8 seats in parliament, still with βone man, one voteβ. This have resulted in a multitude of parties getting elected.
So the top 8 vote getters in that district get elected?
Yes
How many districts are there?
22 districts and the former colonies each send two representatives
Greenland and Faeroe Islands
I dunno that you could split the US like that
@oprahsminge That's an oversimplification of what they want, technically we all fuck animals, as humans are just as much of an animal as a dog, a sheep, or a shark.
And the alternative would be heavy government bloating
I am becoming quite fond of a 1/2/3 vote
Ranked voting?
Yes
Maybe, I just think we need to get rid of the federal government overrides.
We have an issue here in BC where NDP and Liberals trade off dominance because voting for Cons/Greens/etc means that "the other side wins"
So we'll get liberals making a dumb decision or 10 and then because nobody wants the NDP they'll get in the next 2 times as well. Once you hit fucks given spillover then the NDP gets a turn
It's a really bad setup
I think we'd get some DSA, and even some NSM members with that system though.
ranked voting.
Maybe. But is the honest solution to just shove that shit under the rug and pretend it isn't there?
Sunlight is the best disinfectant
No the solution is to not give the government enough power that it matters.
Oh I'd want that as well
