This is a little discussed problem with fptp (along with many others) it gives minor parties perverse incentive to play spoiler, which gives foreign actors an opportunity to find spoilers.

All viable politics is harm reduction.
So I guess that means Trump must have had a secret earpiece. Or maybe a vibrating butt plug.
Don’t respond if it is mostly “Blue MAGA” and “Genocide Joe”
It could also be instance admins fucking around.
You should out the users and topics they are engaging with.
Any time you hear someone openly supporting Trump at work, make an anonymous report to HR. Make it everyone’s problem.
The biggest miss at the debate was Harris not reminding everyone how Trump was bullying the fed chair on Twitter when everyone said it was time to start raising interest rates.
In general, the distinction between populism and technocracy needs to be front and center. This is a very easy example.
Some of them are also “goldfish voters.” These people only engage with whatever political message has been delivered to them most recently. They literally can go from D to R and back again bumper sticker to bumper sticker.
Then there are the obligate ego independents. Their only political belief is that they must vote for both parties some of the time. If they voted D last time then they will probably vote R this time. Because their identity is “independent” so they must manifest that, all reason be damned.

Bruh you are literally a fucking NEET at this point you have nothing to do but make plans.
Castrate the unmarried illegal immigrants, for Jesus!
More like 90/10 and that’s a very generous 10%. Trump has literally said nothing of substance or consequence. He is a foreign agent, spreading both very stupid and very treasonous propaganda on a national stage he has no business on.
Right, in a sane world, Trump has been proving himself unfit to hold any more responsibility than a burger flipper for decades now. The fact that anyone could possibly be on the fence about him at this point means the game is already lost.
Republicans understand that projecting faultless confidence is an advantage in a head to head race.
Democrats… And those who claim to be Democrats… Seems to believe that passing through a labyrinth of strife and tribulation is somehow an advantage. Vetting candidates with fire only makes sense if you are in an environment where good faith prevails.
Right. The entire idea that the state of western democracy rides on a farcical “debate” involving one of the most uniquely detestable humans on the planet is complete insanity. The fact that there even exists a single person in the world who could possibly be swayed by what happens on this stage means reason and good sense are as dead as they can possibly be.
The government doesn’t want you to know this but the ducks in the park are free. You can just take them home.
Nah, more like “Russian bots exist and some people I disagree with are Russian bots.” Which is pretty much the entire premise of the article.
It’s also pretty easy to tell the difference IMO. The trolls tend to just do nothing but troll and flame. They don’t really spend much time engaging on other topics.
As far as why I think Lemmy is a training ground? Call it a hunch. Obviously I don’t have a notarized letter from a troll farm saying that they are in control of a certain worldnews forum, but a lot of the usual suspects fit a bit too neatly into that box to not raise an eyebrow. There are some other patterns as well but its definitely all circumstantial.
This is just not true. Places which are doing RCV are literally state at metro democratic strongholds. Democrats are literally the only ones pushing it.
