I will attack you directly because I have no arguments. I want to revel in my defeatism.

Understood. Goodbye then.

The “winner-take-all” nature means only the largest parties consistently win seats, marginalizing smaller groups. This structural advantage makes it difficult for new or minor parties to gain significant representation.

Independents are not a smaller group. They are 56% They are the bigger group and vote D or R because they have no other option. Independents can replace the D party.

The US isn’t a lost cause. Proportional representational is only made harder by people like you, who scream till they’re blue in the face that change is impossible while being surrounded by constant change.

So, there is no law against a third party. Got it.

The 56% which are independents can thus create their own party and win against either D and R.

You’d be right it they were 20%, or even 30% independent and split their votes between D and R. But with a majority, they can easily get past the post and make the changes they want. It just takes not giving up and crying “it’s impossible”.

Why isn’t it possible? Is there a law against it?

And yet the independents won’t create their own political party to finally bring about change for fear of being called “centrist”

And nothing of value was lost. Please kill all those fucking SUVs.

These stupid names and random segregations. God damn. How do they come up with this crap?

Just don’t go to the US.

I really wonder how they count this. Does this count children above 18 living at home? Do they magically assign ownership to people who have been in the same abode for more than 5 years or something? The majority of people I know are renting and if societies have ~30% < 35 y.o how can the rest all have homes? That doesn’t seem possible.

These numbers are highly suspect to me.

Tax wealth, not work.

“Wtf is TEMU?”

Oh…

Also, wtf is MA IMA?

Regarding the always online for singleplayer: https://stopkillinggames.com/

SDF = Syrian Democratic Forces. I think they have their hands tied up right now.

Or if the admin is French: SDF = homeless person.

On a more serious note, what does the donation situation look like for this instance? Demanding more time from an admin is a little bit hard if people aren’t donating and the admin has a life beyond the instance. Probably getting more people on board would be the solution, but that requires trust.

That’s pretty cool! Would be nice to have those in other fediverse software!

It’s just like subscribing to a subscription folder which contains all “politics” communities. That doesn’t mean the folder cannot be changed by the client. The client could easily have the feature to exclude communities from the folder or ignore blocked communities.

There could even servers that provide filtered community groups/folders.

Cross-server communities would maybe be a better name. As in !196 would aggregate from all the communities named “196” on the fediverse.

Oof… the fediverse needs serverless communities.

Did something happen with lemmy.world?

Who cares? They are mostly men… /s
