It leaves you stuck in the system you have along with those players. You can vote third party, organize around a different election system, but don't shit on people who see that as wasted effort at best and sabotage at worst. They're not wrong, because it's an all-or-nothing play. You're shooting the moon. If you vote third party, you'd better be 100% sure they're gonna win or you're just wasting your vote you could have used to cancel a fascist's vote. Don't say "they choose not to" but realize you're demanding they take a huge risk with small chance of success (zero chance if you don't organize and just complain on the internet)

It's the reality of first past the post. Third party voting is simply almost never an option. You're mad at a natural law of the election system. Don't hate the players, hate the game

My grandfather had a number tattooed on his arm. Never again means never again for everyone.

Shame on Israel. Zionism is an evil racist ideology, distinct from Judaism

I agree this is all crazy, but Russia is probably also actually paying people to fabricate a story about Biden biting babies.

It's not paranoia if they're really after you!

Maybe take your irony detector to the repair shop, I think it may be faulty

Dutch traffic infrastructure. It's incredibly safe, promotes walking, bicycling and public transport, well maintained and easy to understand. There's a reason the largest Youtube channel on urban planning center around the Netherlands experience (and how other places could learn): https://youtube.com/@notjustbikes
