People often segregate themselves into bubbles separated from others they oppose. I can say since the political affiliation is known from past elections, that has become a stronger factor when I am deliberating on which places I would want to live. I’m sure this is adding to the polarization, where people are gravitating to communities that more often reinforce their beliefs and give them fewer opportunities to challenge them.
How can we counter this polarizing force?
The Democratic candidate is chosen at the convention, which hasn’t happened yet. What would a legal contest even be based on?
From the article you linked to:
Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is “no credence” to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet – the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.
I hope you are happy helping the Republicans win
I think you are misunderstanding how the election system works. It is the Democrats vs Republicans and nothing else until a third party can get big enough to overtake one of the two and then it’s still just two major parties.
Save your energy for reforming the election system and then advocate for what you want. We have to be realistic here.
My take on the down votes is that it is dangerous to spread ideas about voting third party in a democracy with an election system that mechanically only supports two parties.
Even if you’re in a “safe” state, people from states that are more in the margins may hear the sentiment and want to participate out of principle. It makes the opposition more likely to win.
If we want the Democrats to win in the end, it’s safer to be pushing for engagement on all fronts. That’s what the Republicans are doing and they can actually be trusted to vote.
I’m not ready to encourage this because anybody can get pissed off for any reason. There is very little that a politician does that makes everybody happy.
Then turn it up to 11
What’s the difference?
Saying “that boy pussy” might not be about another person, so I’m also not sure this should actually be offensive. He might just be thinking about anal sex while he is in a vagina.
I’m making a big assumption though:
You responded to a post that mentioned Trump in the last paragraph
Certainty is a dangerous thing when people lie out of self interest or from coercion.
I’m not surprised at an SUV. If it was a older Prius or smart car, however…
For the story to make sense, I’m guessing that the person you’re responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.
Here’s an opinion of somebody unwilling to reflect or learn.
Probably should be higher since there is less competition and an implication that you’re not allowed to oppose Vlad.
Only 50% after repeatedly killing opposition candidates?
Can’t it be fixed?
