Their system isn’t set up to realistically accommodate third parties. Without actually overhauling the entire electoral system (something neither major party wants) the only way to get any third party representation would be a massively coordinated grassroots campaign that would require a huge amount of funding to overcome all the media attacks it would suffer.
In effect, as the system currently works, a third party vote is a wasted vote unfortunately.
I don’t think you understand the point of the protests. People don’t want their government funding and supplying the weapons for a genocide.
What would a protest about Sudan achieve if your country has no involvement in it?
Exactly. I feel sorry for everyone in the US who has to live through another Trump term, but from my outsider perspective the Dems really screwed themselves on this one.
I never saw a single person say Trump would be better for Palestine, so I’m not sure what you’re on about…
As for complaining about Dems and not Trump, that makes sense to me because it’s assumed that Trump is shit, but Dems pretend to be better than they are.
I guess we’ll see if those elections happen this year.
It’s how long this has been allowed to go on for that disgusts me. The images from a year ago were awful enough to show how much Gaza had already been devastated.
South Africa’s genocide case against Israel was submitted to the ICJ in December 2023 FFS.
They were the one that brought up Russia for no reason lol
It doesn’t have to change anything. They can be correct, and I can find the irony funny at the same time. If they hadn’t mentioned Russia for absolutely no reason then I wouldn’t have felt the need to say anything.
Nope. Pretty funny that you’re embarrassed enough to lie about it though lol

Are you from that country that just voted in a convicted felon as their next president?
Am I blind or does the article not indicate how many companies trialled it?
Also, this alone would significantly improve my job satisfaction:
Reports from the trial showed that the frequency and duration of meetings was reduced by 60%, which makes sense to anyone who works in an office – many meetings could have been a simple email.
No way in hell I’d want to be a farmer these days. That shit seems like the most stressful career possible.
Something like gardener/groundskeeper looks good to me though.
I don’t know if this was a test run or an actual operation of some kind, but Russia evidently wants to carry out more of these attacks, as they have been mapping out these cables for years now, and have recently been running national internet outage drills.
I’m not from the US but I know that I would really struggle morally to cast a vote for either party.
Yes, voting for Trump because of Palestine is stupid, but I can easily see how voting for the party that keeps sending money and weapons, and supporting them in the UN, while pretending to ask them to “be more careful about killing civilians”, would not be very desirable either.
The US electoral system is absolute dogshit, but in my opinion the Dems lost this election all by themselves.
Edit: are the downvotes because you disagree, or because you’re upset that I’m right?
That’s my belief versus the mostly confirmed accounts that are based on limited evidence.
Describing it as factual was my mistake, but I did so because of how incredibly likely I think it is.
There’s no way anyone can know that without a full and transparent investigation being done, which Israel did not allow to happen.
That said, there are many indicators that they did a significant amount of damage.
One example:
All the burned bodies and cars from the festival that were somehow burned by Hamas (with molotovs?), and definitely not by Apache helicopters equipped with hellfire missiles. Oh… except for the handful of bodies that turned out to be Hamas fighters. THOSE ones were killed and burned by hellfire missiles, but the Israeli bodies were burned by Hamas. And so were their cars of course. Let’s not worry about why the cars were trucked off far away, shredded, and compacted before being buried. Definitely has nothing to do with making it harder to investigate what actually happened to them.
Much of this info has been available for over a year now.
I don’t think it’s hard to imagine how tanks, artillery, and apache helicopters would do more damage than rifles and a handful of RPGs.
You just have to look at the incinerated cars and bodies from the festival to see how much damage the helicopters did there.

Calling Stalin a Marxist is like calling the Nazi party socialists, or North Korea a democracy.
They can use whatever words they like in their ideology/party/country’s name but it doesn’t mean a thing.
