In the general election the “feasible” candidate is always the Democratic nominee, so you should never have any argument about it at that stage. Meanwhile in the primary people try to use that sort of “feasibility” / electability argument against farther left Dems, but it is total nonsense and can be completely ignored at that stage.
And it’s a disaster in Canada. The only reason the Conservatives ever take power up there is because of the giant vote split between NDP and the Liberals. Look how the conservatives are heavy favorites to win their next election despite every poll showing them with less than the combined votes of the Liberals and NDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_45th_Canadian_federal_election
I feel like there needs to be a balance. Sometimes two communities about the same topic have genuinely different flavors and make sense to keep separate. But other times it’s just a lot easier and more productive to take people from ten little pools having the same conversation to one big one.
Search for the names of all the communities that you’re part of on reddit and join the biggest two or three with the same name that you see here. Post to whichever is your favorite or whichever is biggest if you can’t tell the difference in order to encourage consolidation.
The line between a developed and undeveloped country is whether you can drink the tap water.
I love them. It’s really good for communities to have a way for people to express opposition other than posting a response, and even better when it results in those controversial comments being de-boosted. A lot of other social networks would be much better off if they allowed that sort of reaction from their users.
Yeah the fact that I’d have to download a new app and find a new flow if I stayed makes it a lot easier to leave.
I probably won’t permanently boycott them if they revert, but won’t leave here either.
A simple low impact one I came up with is moving the Jerboa app icon to where the reddit one used to be and moving the reddit one to the end of the list, so my muscle memory reddit log on takes me here instead.
I think it’s fine as long as the post fits in each community.
Yes I definitely assume that. Maybe not every single person since who knows what goes on in people’s heads, but generally we should expect the voters for the two left of center parties to prefer the other left of center one to the right wing one. Particularly since presumably if there was a single party representing those voters it would probably be somewhere in between them ideology-wise.
