Continued thread

One of the 1 of 200 hosts asks Marx whether Canada has considered MMP. Apparently they have, but the liberals and conservatives keep blocking it.

I recommend citizens who want proportional representation in their countries campaign for STV, not MMP. I say that having voted in elections using both MMP (NZ general elections since 1996) and STV (some local body elections).

Apparently #elililly who backed #trump in the #elections with 27 billion USD had a meeting with the #executive in the last week in which #ceo and co figured out their #market value is getting ducked by trump. So the CEO just had a meeting with said agent orange complaining about it. ^^

Funny... #cern #lhc and co did cost in total about 5.5 billion USD.

... Think what elilily could have accomplished if they wouldn't been so fucking stupid and if people in charge would actually be smart and not just rich.

#VoterSuppression: Libs on the next #elections: "assuming we've an election.”

Gov Abbott is currently getting away with it. Clear: #Republicans *embraced anti-democratic tactics: closing polling places on college campuses to advocating for strict voter ID laws *next level of war on voting.

Dem candidate for the NC SC should've been sworn in months ago.

Moral of the story -every vote counts -but instead, Rs can’t accept defeat in a democratic election.

"They came out in defense of #NationalParks & small businesses, public #education & #health care for #veterans, #abortion rights & fair #elections. They marched against #tariffs & #oligarchs, dark money & #fascism, the deportation of legal immigrants & #DOGE.

Demonstrators had no shortage of causes as they gathered in towns and cities across the country on Saturday to protest Trump’s agenda."

🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷
