Should've turned up to vote for the woman instead of this turd then.

Oh, no it's completely made up bs to generate internet outrage. Everyone falls for it every time.

Sounds good in a way because you can take as long as you like applying for other jobs without losing your current income.

Techies on the verge of retreating into the forest are an absolute minority, blown out of proportion by people on internet forums like this. most techie people still like gadgets.

Come on, this isn't facebook, we should be better than this type of post here.

Smart people didn't shrug, they voted against it. Idiots and republicans shrugged and let this happen.

This is a small, fairly biased survey with unpublished proper metrics. Whether you agree or disagree with the result, this is bad science.

I doubt it would've won anyway. There were loads of OS's at that time, most not having the issue of the US government intervening, and none of them won either.

"Project 2025 is fine because democrats aren't great" - that's what you sound like. You can hate FPTP and fight to get rid of it, once you've turfed the fascists out.

Yep, that's the idiot segment.

This is incredibly hateful and dismissive. Reported.

Well this is false. This a some serious "touch grass" moment, if you think this you are terminally online.

It's all I seem to see on forums these days, people complain about how the internet has gotten more depressing but don't stop to realise it's those same people posting stuff like this that makes it depressing.

You could post this exact question at literally any time in history and get a whole host of agreeing answers. That's a basic sanity test you should use to determine that this is a question incorrectly put.

Could have? Maybe. Likely would have? No.

Outrage is always louder than agreement. If 1% of people hate a thing, but they really hate it, there'll be 10 articles about how it's bad and one article about how it's good, because something being good doesn't get clicks. The people who find it useful or good or even are just fine with it just get on with their lives.

This entire idea is based on a false premise that you somehow hold any political power AFTER voting.

You do though - and you have less power again if you let fascists come in and take away even that. Your defeatism is pure stupidity.

Ah, aha, all good

Indeed

I wish

Obviously there's a balance.
