If we remove just 1 county from each state, Trump would have won.
Yeah, the more people you disenfranchise, the easier it is for fascists to gain power. That being said, this is sort of like saying, “The USA would be Republican if it weren’t for New York and California!”
Sheesh folks it’s not like I like this system or that man or his opponent or that the electoral college laughs last or that the popular vote win was pretty big but could have easily been undone again.
How DARE you.
This is cool, and I love you ❤️
Cant go showing this is might give people the idea that their vote matters and to show up and exercise their rights. Or perhaps u could do what us Aussies have done and have mandatory voting i would argue its the greatest thing we have done for democracy.
How’s that working out for you? Been getting good politicians?
Well we got universal healthcare a livable minimum wage public housing world class education and enough beaches that you would die before u visit them all assuming u see 1 every single day. Id say its working far better than ur system that seems to resemble a 3rd would country more every day.
What happens to those who don’t vote?
They get fed to the sharks. That’s why you so rarely hear of shark attacks. A well fed shark is a safe shark.
Perhaps, if the participation goes down another smidgen, they can also do something about the scourge of drop bears!
You pay $20
Didn’t know the pollies were hard at work creating beaches… That’s a hot take.
From an external perspective, the aus political forum looks like a shitshow. Look at your pm count over the last 20 years as an example. US is no different.
Nar juat flexing our superiority. At least ita a shit show that doesnt have slums on the streets of its capital city.
That’s because Canberra is itself a shithole, you muppet. If I’m homeless with a choice, I’m going north.
three things: Australia has had a couple good PMs in the last 20 years - kevin rudd, for example.
but more importantly, in Australia, they don’t vote for the PM. They vote for the party, and the party picks the PM. And changes it as need be. Just like the US doesn’t vote for the secretary of the treasury, or the transport guru (whatever they’re called). The party assigns roles.
lastly, shit PMs is what Australia gets when it keeps voting in the Republican wannabe party.
The difference is the balance of power thanks to preferential / ranked voting.
You’d die before visiting all the beaches because sharks and irukandji will kill you in the first few. Failing that, the drop bears will get you in between beaches.
U also gotta watch out for the hoop snakes best to avoid valleys as well
and enough beaches that you would die before u visit them all
Because of skin cancer
slip slop slap!
This is incredibly important to keep in mind as we enter election season, if you have the means please donate to on the ground campaigns in these or similar areas. Every bit helps
Damn I live in one of these. You guys are welcome
I live in a county that will let me protest vote Biden in 2024 with literally zero risk
The lefty dream?
Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.
Isn’t that where all the fake electors came from and where TheOrange wanted to find just 11,780 votes?
Yeah, like. There it is.
Sometimes I wish we had county level polling days, other-times, i’m glad we can’t analyze things this granularly.
Now what if we went even more granular all the way down to the individual? Like, each person is their own electoral college vote?
conflation
