Oh... yeah, you're right. No idea then.
Even your own posts will be hidden from your own profile, if you have "show read posts" unchecked, I think. Like I say it has some pretty weird behavior sometimes.

We need a leader

After all, who's to say? Some of us listen to Tucker Carlson, and some of us listen to Al Jazeera. They're all basically the same, amirite fellow leftist? And as we all know, including some RT.com and Tucker Carlson into that mixture is just what all of us like to do. They're both super independent. It's the first word that comes to mind, when I think of them.
There’s only one solution to a propaganda spiral like the one we’re living through, and it’s telling the truth about the things that matter — clearly and without fear. That’s our job. We plan to do it every day, no matter what.
We are the sworn enemies of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. We believe the corporate media is broken beyond repair, and the only way forward is to build something better.
One of these things is not like the other
Why does he have so many poops though
The problem is that with any type of FPTP system, any compelling leader outside the existing power structure will produce the opposite effect as their stated policies are.
Something like Bernie Sanders trying to drag the Democrats over to some kind of human policy matrix is actually a realistic possibility, but it's definitely an uphill battle... but there is plenty of precedent on the right for a successful leader just hijacking and overriding the existing power structure and taking it in his own direction, it's definitely possible.
They definitely do check. I don't know how detailed the checks are or how major a crime it is to use someone else's info, but there are enough checks in place, you can't just type in Porky Pig or made-up nonsense or anything.
- Publicly funded elections
- End FPTP and enact a parliamentary system
- Better media that lets everyone know what's going on
Lots of luck with any one of them, but that's the answer
Honestly this is a great and perfectly realistic outcome. Of course, assuming ICE doesn't just seize all the voting machines for the next election and Trump wins by 104% (which I think is a lot to ask at this point).
If, somehow, we have free and fair elections coming up, then a splintered right from the bullshit Musk and Joe Rogan put together or whatever, and a splintered left because their constituents want them to stop making it legal to hunt Palestinians for sport, makes it perfectly sensible that the dinosaurs who run our government could declare that some form of post-19th-century voting system that would enable a little bit fairer outcome than FPTP is what's needed. And, when the dinosaurs want something to happen, it usually actually happens, without all this molasses speed when it is merely because of people dying or whatever the problem the regular people are having is.
