Yup, and this is not new information. i've seen studies about this effect for at least a decade, probably more like 2 but time flies now

It's also top comment on the .social link

Yeah I'm comparing 3rd party votes to voting for the less harmful duopoly + activism, you're comparing it to doing nothing.

You're right voting 3rd party is better than doing absolutely nothing. What a high bar

in what way is buying a competitor not inherently anti-competitive?

If someone has a history of anti-competitive behavior, preventing them from buying competitors is perfectly logical

What are you even talking about? I've seen videos of cops shooting at dogs wagging their tails. I've seen cops shoot at small dogs and accidentally hit the owners. Here's just one of many videos, see if you can watch it without being disgusted by these pigs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D1wzZU14h0

That’s true until it isn’t.

The way you change that is election reform. Not thoughts and prayers and spoiler votes when one of the 2 big parties is running a wannabe-dictator.

Think, if fools in Florida didn't vote 3rd party in 2000 you'd never have bush or the war in iraq, and we might have given a shit about global warming.

Please, tell me you're a child who knows nothing about the US electoral system without telling me. People like you got us Trump

Too much of a baby to read and understand the spoiler effect that comes with FPTP? Too impatient and short-sighted to push for election reform (RCV or approval voting) and just want some low effort immediate option that requires nothing more than casting a vote? Child. Democracies require effort to survive.

Did you just scoff at the idea of competition improving a market?

or they're simply pumped full of Fox brand fear of anything slightly different and prefer this guys brand of crazy

As planned

Okay but they have no incentive to do any of that and instead have monetary incentive to shift right

Do participate in bringing ranked choice voting to your state if you want a shift left in the USA. Competition will force the shift you are looking for

Nope. Wasted questions on animal/plant/mineral when that paradigm isn't accurate enough for a machine I guess.

Seemed to understand alive vs not.

Except the casino can refuse to pay out for any reason at all

USA strikers should take notes

The global elite buy the USA politicians. They are for sale internationally

In Bush's case, the family is owned by the Saudis. And the Saudis couldn't have the USA president going after oil.

In the usa we did vote for AL gore, who campaigned pretty much solely on stopping climate change.

When it became clear gore would win, the Supreme Court stopped counting ballots and gave the win to Bush, an oil tycoon who went to war for oil. Later Kavanaugh, who worked the case for Bush, was given a lifetime appointment to the same court for their effective cronyism

So yes, the global elite are the reason here.

This may be unpopular but the marraige model was never good for women in the west, and Im glad we are free of it.

We were expected to be live-in bang-maid-mothers. Women were lobotomized during the 'golden 1950s' that some (often conservative men) worship.

I think I am starting to prefer a model where I live together in groups with friends/ family for protection and support.

Now its just the kids aging into mario kart abilities, like my niece who just asked for this for her bday

'We' can't address climate change because the global elite are dependent on the profits from harming the environment to fill their money banks, and it turns out they have all the power.

I do not need to rewire my brain, I need to build power structure so that I can eat the rich w/ that donut
