Fuck this autoplay video bullshit.

The American electoral system is completely fucked. It was not designed for or implemented with the concept of political parties, and some of its fundamental assumptions are predicated on political parties not existing in order to function as a working democracy. However after the first election, political parties formed, and began working on codifying and entrenching their power. It’s like game theory run amok. The win condition is first past the pole, so there’s only one winner, and by default, if there’s more than 2 contenders, then the vote is split inefficiently, so naturally there can only be two major parties at a time. And the two parties must exist such a way that they do not dilute or share their power, so they do not modify the system to allow for the inclusion of other parties, or allow for the vote to be split. It’s unlikely the parties would pass laws that they know would dilute their own power, even if it also diluted the power of their opposition. As a result, voters in the U.S. must either: Vote for the party that most closely aligns with their interests, vote against the party that aligns against their interests, or abstain from voting.

Still advocating for state level electoral reform so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

Why are you okay with people being unrepresented with their options in the voting booth? Don’t you support democracy?

Retail sucks compared to classic. The art and level design are fantastic in retail though.

And here I thought I had a huge backlog.

Tobacco. Started by delaying the first smoke of the day as long ad I could. Eventually I got through a whole day.

It’s not your party.

because I don’t know

It takes great strength for someone to admit their limitations, and that I can respect.

Democrats should be forced to pass electoral reform in all blue states as punishment for losing to the world’s biggest loser twice. Blue conservatives no longer deserve to go it alone against the republicans.

Did the CEO’s house burns down in the wild fire as well?

Being yourself? Rad as fuck.
