This voting system does not spark joy (thanks for the explanation!)

MisterFrog@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Why AOC should run for president in 20280·16 hours agoI feel like your (the US’) only hope is a proper grassroots campaign.
Preferential voting or bust.
Because it’s really going to be bust, at this rate.
MisterFrog@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•An "unimaginable sum:" Trump's Big Beautiful Bill would appropriate $200 billion to ICE0·16 hours agoI feel like what the rest of the world doesn’t understand (I am from the "rest of the world), is that the USA is VASTLY more powerful than the Nazis ever were. Barely any country is sounding the alarm seriously. Just “oh we’re concerned about what’s happening”.
We are truly fucked.
And we’re under the US’ thumb (Australia).
At least we’re majority white… maybe that’ll keep us safe, temporarily.
I hate this timeline, so very much.
MisterFrog@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Why AOC should run for president in 20280·16 hours agoDo they not have preferential voting in the primaries?
Is this a specific NYC democratic party thing?
I am not from the US.

The timing is not great
Having a military parade for a leaders birthday is not normal. Wtf USA. Protest harder please, actually get reform this time.
We are relying on you, since the USA is a superpower with many countries under your thumb, this affects more than just you
Not sure if you have seen this person religiously commenting better quality versions of comics and pictures on other people’s posts, this is extremely high praise!
You’ve gained a medal from a Lemmy staple
I do wonder how this could possibly save his stocks. Anyone who was dumping stocks of companies where he was involved isn’t going to buy them back simply because he’s cutting ties with Trump.
If anything this will make his stocks dive even further because now he won’t even be able to get government contracts via corruption.
I’m getting pretty tired of hearing people spout the copium that the election was “rigged” when it’s the far more sinister complete capture by the monied class, first past the post, active voter suppression and gerrymandering, and loopholes allowing billionaires to fund the campaigns of whoever they choose.
The election wasn’t rigged, the elections are barely democratic.
Same as in Singapore. Each election isn’t fake, just set up to bring the PAP back to majority government without fail.
That being said, you really need to get rid of your voting machines, that is a really risky practice, and I’ll grant it is possible those were hacked. (I’m assuming you’re from the US). If you’re okay with that possibility, then you also have to admit it was possible when Trump lost.
Voting machines are dumb.
MisterFrog@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Chinese factory worker sets fire to textile plant over 800 yuan in unpaid wagesEnglish0·1 month agoA bunch of Europeans in this comment section forgetting there are more “western” countries than just western Europe and the USA/north America.
Fortnightly is the most common in Australia, with some people paid monthly also (depends on the company).
And thankful for this. Monthly sounds terrible
It’s a bit weird the artist drew an “elementary” school girl in their underwear though.
I’m still (probably naively) hoping people wake the fuck up and resist like their lives depended up it.
