If you want to be polytato you need everyone to be informed of the nature of things before hand. It's hard work to make sure everything stays in bounds. Obviously with more people comes more complexity.
If someone signed up for a burger and fries special and there was suddenly poutine, they will be rightfully pissed.
That said, people change, and discover hidden parts of themselves all the time. Just be an adult and have a rational conversation when the time comes. Feelings may be hurt but better to do it in a civil manner.
Consider reading The Ethical Slut if you're interested in the lifestyle.
We don't need to erase Republicans to change how we vote. That is controlled at the state level. Should be really easy to do in blue states where Republicans have less influence.
Perhaps to late to change this coming elections voting system, but we can right now start making the organizations we need to push for it ASAP.
Imagine feeling free to vote for who best represents you, sure in the knowledge that if your preference didn’t win, your vote would still count against the Republicans.
Let’s say by some miracle that another party emerges victorious, that’ll just become the new target for bribery lobbyists who will bend the party to their will anyway.
This is why reforming capitalism is a waste of time. Reforms only delay end stage, not prevent it entirely. The solution (IMO) is to diffuse the wealth and the power that comes with it into the population through worker co-ops.
Maybe that isn't the solution, who the fuck cares if I'm right or not? But we won't ever work towards that better way of life if we let the status quo lord over us all our whole lives?
I'm sure people thought feudalism was going to be forever to back in the day, much like capitalism now. Capitalism isn't thousands of years old like feudalism was. (Still is in select parts of the world)
Somebody forgot to write a 1,000,000 word essay on how Republicans are worse then democrats before submitring one morsel of criticism against the Democratic party. Thus you are a secret Republican Russian.
No you don't get to ask for Ranked Choice voting to solve the spoiler effect. The spoiler effect must hover over your head every time you're in the voting booth. THIS. IS. DEMOCRACY. MANIFEST!
I see you left the voting booth without a big enough smile, it will be 10000% entirely your fault if the democrats weak willed attempts don't work out.
No you don't get to have any input. Taxation without representation is how this country was founded silly. This is just how it works here. Maybe when you grow up, you will realize the real adults, the real americans are the only ones responsible enough to control the nation until their last gasp on this planet. Of course it is right to continue shifting the Overton window to the right! This is reality sweetheart, maybe you're just a idealistic dreamer with to high of expectations.
Now smile really REALLY big and say "Joe Biden is the most pro-union president in American history" 20 times in the mirror before you go to work your 3 part time jobs.
Whatever the Republicans suggest or want, it’s all too often to hurt the nation. Eye everything they propose with great suspicion.
Republicans are moving to protect First Past The Post voting in the states they control. Do you want to use the same voting system republicans prefer blue states?
More power to them.
