Wrong. We did exactly what you suggest in the U.K. Any kind of PR is off the table for at least a generation here.

The last time you posted this, I commented about all the reddit users that disappeared the day after the vote. I hate repeating myself, so here is a different anecdote.
During the campaign, many people - including yours truly - pointed out that if the admitedly mediocre change was rejected, the powers that be would argue that ‘the people’ had voted against change - any change. And that is exactly what happened https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-13297573.
…the referendum had delivered a “resounding answer that settles the question” over electoral change and people now wanted the government…
David Cameron (Prime Minister)
I personally believe that this result will settle the debate over changing our electoral system for the next generation.
Matthew Eliot (Leader of the No campaign)
You get exactly one chance at this. As Ru Paul likes to say, Do Not Fuck It Up.
I’m interested in what their reasoning was for banning Maus - I certainly don’t recall any sex or amti-christian material.
I’m not American, but my 0.02€… this might be a good outcome if it’s easier to defeat her at the general compared to a more moderate republican.
That’s also a good thing - eating less milk and beef is also good for the environment. Less demand means fewer cows, means fewer cow farts…
We had the same arguments in the U.K. during the referendum to drop FPTP. Strangely, the people making those arguments on Reddit all disappeared the day after the vote. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I am convinced that was Russia!s proof-of-concept for what would become their information warfare against democracy.
OP, you are most likely genuine and good meaning, but understand that Russia, China, and many other bad actors want you to keep FPTP because it’s so much easier for them to manipulate elections. Any argument against change, even if said change is not perfect, is in their favour.
I imagine so, buy have no first hand experience.
I am a long-time Tumbleweed user. It’s the most stable rolling release distro I’ve tried, so if you want that latest software, it’s a great choice. I’ve not tried MicroOS yet, so I can’t comment on that.
At this point, Sweden’s Grippen would be more useful.
It could simply mean they didn’t want any of the remaining candidates to get in. I suppose at a push, maybe it makes sense to choose the least worst of the remaining, but I can certainly imagine candidates I would consciously not rank at all.
God, I fucking love curry. How people can think English food is bland completely baffles me. Fuck, even roast beef comes which extremely hot mustard or horseradish.
This is fucking retarded, of all the people to get free meals for life, they choose someone who is so rich it wouldn’t surprise me if he could buy the entire chain of restaurants.
So… let’s start uploading lots of gay/trans porn and swe how long it takes before the policy changes!
I think we’ve given it the hug of death, or at least its incredibly slow…
I was thinking of Russians and other bad actors using it to transfer cash. I’m not sure if that would be traceable, though?
Pfft, kids these days - I remember usenet.
What you are saying is that you should invest in infrastructure for electric cars instead of subsidising the oil industry again?
Meanwhile the fascists in AfD get a pass…
It sounds like the constitution defines Nazism in narrower terms than I expected. That’s a shame.
That’s is NOT the year to fuck around. If Trump wins, the chance that he will declare himself president for life is WAY too high and apparently perfectly legal now.
