dam rich people and your modern circuit breakers.

If one where to think that Trump where the lesser of two evils would you discourage them from voting Libertarian?

For most people a vote for Trump or Biden is actually a wasted vote. Most states are solidly Blue or Red so voting R/D won’t change anything. It is far more likely that your single vote for a new Party’s candidate will get them over the threshold to maintain ballot access for the following election cycle, than your vote for an old Party’s candidate will get them over the threshold to receive the plurality of the vote. Maintaining ballot access for new parties allows them to spend more money the next time actually getting out their message and building votes rather than having to spend most of it paying petitioners to get back on the ballot again. Eventually this could lead to a more representative multi-party system in the USA. But treating every election as “the most important election of our lifetime” and refusing to vote for a candidate that more closely represents your values rather than the one more likely to beat the candidate you dislike most, purpurates the system of abuse. Its like a person returning to their previous partner that verbally abuses them because they fear their partner that physically abuses them.

yeah, that’s not going to happen, its just scare tactics.

THe Libertarian candidate will be on the ballot in every state

That’s what politicians do.

Pretty funny regardless.

but why?

The fact anyone ever thought this was for any reason other than making it easier to hide your porn browsing history from your mom is just silly.

What is fast fashion?

What is there to be excited about. Even with India’s massive multi-party system, there still is not one party that is anti-nationalist. When I lived in the US nearly half of my neighbors were anti-nationalist and proud of it. I cam to believe they were right that nationalism is a disease that must be irradiated from this planet as it does nothing but divide people and create sense of superiority in ones “own people”.

Clearly Modi needs to be defeated, but its difficult to see how that is going to happen, and the option(s) to replace him with aren’t a lot better.

ven if 99% vote for it, the candidate who got most of the remaining 1% will win (doesn’t make sense). I NOTA wins I think the seat should be vacated for that term.

I don’t trustpoliticianns to be farsighted than enough to run such well. But if we keep the politicians out and allow the workers to seize the telecommunications systems from the bosses free of consequence, that might actually work.

Its almost like they should just remove migration restrictions and allow people to move freely instead of politicians playing politics to get the votes of stupid old people.

“There are more people working than ever before” that is exactly what economists mean when they say there is a labor shortage, there are not many unemployed people. Higher wages alone won’t change that. It mostly just shifts around who is employed by whom. To actually build a larger work force you need not only higher wages, but making it easier for those who don’t work to do so like young people and those currently residing in other countries.

The sad part about this is there are like 50 years of back content so the boss has a lot less at stake than the workers.

Dang, we had barn cats as a kid, and then dad let one inside, and then more, but they would demand to go outside regularly so my parents let them, but the prettiest one, a calico, was always so proud of her catches, she’d leave them on the welcome mat like a present. Sometimes the whole bird, somtimes just like the feet left, she must have been hungry those days.
