  • If you read the screenshots, not the braindead text, that’s absolutely not what it says. Try again I guess.

  • Only anti-Biden propaganda. I sure would feel weird if I was on a website from Luxembourg constantly criticizing politicians in the Netherlands or something.

  • This interpretation makes no sense. They’re evacuating people from Israel, but not Lebanon. It has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the citizen specifically. It’s not as if a Lebanese American in Israel would be denied, which is what the stupid Twitter post and this post claim.

  • So the US hasn’t gone to war with Europe or Russia. Amazing insight

  • Well, this is posted by someone who seems to spend their entire lives jerking off about spreading negative shit about Biden, so makes sense

  • Tankies put a trigger warning for mentioning meat. Just a little snack, but I think that's cute
  • All of this does a decent job of confirming the group as angsty sophomoric teenagers.

  • LIBERAL Minnesota under the TYRANNICAL control of Tim Walz reports rare human death from rabies
  • Whole sub is satirical criticism so I don't know why this post was so well received. As usual, though, Poe's Law and all that - somewhere there is some deranged conservative saying the same thing but seriously. Probably on TwitX or FB.

  • Could pawpaw, the US-native fruit, become the new kiwi or mango?
  • How about drying it or making it into jam?

  • This man's name is Tim "Walz", but I've never seen him ballroom dance in my life
  • can he even wave his hands back and forth like he's playing an invisible accordion? loser

  • The Reason for the Electoral College
  • i would love more parties and more choices. If we could get something besides FPTP voting that would be great.

  • As the mod messaged me saying this was a satire community. Can we get him to post it in the desc? Otherwise this is just another Trump community.
  • I do mean just a saucepan with some water in it. I ended up getting an electric kettle...

  • The Reason for the Electoral College
  • You are still missing who votes. You seem to think you vote, but it is really the state that votes.

    Uh... no, that's my point. If electors are selected by a popular vote, that's the vote. Very rare for electors to switch candidates.

    This states thing is a questionable proxy system. We are sort of, theoretically, a republic of states. Sure. However, it's a flawed system that isn't quite relevant to how the country has developed. It's silly to act like a system invented 250 years ago will always be the best or most effective. The founders of the country didn't expect for the systems to never change. They also didn't expect a party duopoly and hoped to avoid the current situation.

    Anyway, it's clearly not purely a 'states vote' situation since it votes are weighed by population. A pure one state, one vote situation would be like that. Texas Republicans recently had a brilliant idea like that where each county would have one vote, which is obviously absurdly anti-democratic - imagine 4 million people in Houston having the same vote as 72 people in some tiny county.

  • The Reason for the Electoral College
  • I'm obviously aware of electors. They're selected by what you called a 'popularity contest'.

    A 'fair vote for president' is not really what I'd call the electoral college. Why would my vote count for more in Wyoming than Florida? It's not consistent either. Large states still have way more power, so I'm not sure what that's solving.

    Okay, glad we can agree on swing states. How could that change under the current system, though? I guess small population states are never going to be as popular for campaigning as places where you can go visit 20x the population in just one city.

    The left complains about this system because gives conservatives power disproportionate to their actual numbers, while we are still nominally a democracy. If there was anything like reasonable bipartisan legislative work, it might be better, but things have become so contentious. And yes, I don't expect to see it change because conservative states would have to choose to give up power.

  • The Reason for the Electoral College
  • A popular vote is something people who do understand the Constitution or the power of the states.

    I can't parse that sentence.

    Being president isn’t about being popular. It is about the states picking the person to represent them.
    We are a representative government. We are not a boy band where popularity matters.

    What? Within each state it's a popularity contest.

    So you're saying popular vote or 'boy band popularity contest' is fine within each state, but not for the whole nation at once? What's the difference other than that the electoral college is imprecise? We have to disproportionately select electors where people in North Dakota count 3x as much as people in Texas or California? Why's that? The Senate is already bad enough where 30 million people in Texas get the same weight as 4 million people in Oregon or 700,000 in North Dakota. I don't see why selecting electors by popular vote and then having them vote makes any difference other than as a charade to pretend states are independent.

    The idea that the US is a coalition of independent states made sense over 150 years ago or 250 years ago, but not so much now. As much as say, some idiots in Texas fantasize about it, states are not free to leave the US and it's no different than any country made up of provinces.

    I would be more fine with the electoral college if the number of electors was updated to match growing populations. The system also is super lame in how it makes the entire election come down to tens of thousands of votes in 'swing states'.

  • I like how you act like you really believe these things and that they make sense.

  • Wild they said racism was fake and we are all playing the victim card
  • that's true, there was that, but then on 4chan it became "pepe says kek on doubles" and then "meme things into existence" and then it got all twisted with meming trump into the presidency by saying kek a lot or something, and that sort of ruined it

  • Wild they said racism was fake and we are all playing the victim card
  • it was related to trump bullshit involving Pepe being racist around 2015-16

  • Wild they said racism was fake and we are all playing the victim card
  • wow, that's something I was happy to not have heard in a while

  • Wild they said racism was fake and we are all playing the victim card
  • The corrupt liberal propaganda machine in Tishomingo covered it up 😤

    Why is the video game industry in crisis?

    I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?

    What's the best way to get a Gamecube these days?

    I guess I could research but I thought I'd ask. I had a silver GC back in 2002-2004 and around 2009, my dork-ass brother mailed my GameCube to a friend across the country because he wanted to play an online game with him. Obviously I'm never getting it back, but I still have all the games and it would be cool to play them.
