There are only 160mil valid passports in America right now.
You are right though that you can be a registrerede voter with no party affiliation, but there are still 50mil eligible voters that haven't registrered.
And do you deny that a lot of Americans have a hard time getting off of work to go vote? That making election day a national holiday would not easily make a lot more people participate in the countrys democracy?
Which part?
In my country i just get my vote-note in the mail. In America you now have to own a passport which most doesn't, be a member of a party, which 90mil eligible voters aren't, and hope that your boss has the same political views as you, so he lets you off work to go vote.
I'm sure some of his content was spot on, but the whole point was holding the Senate locked for as long as possible. 25 hours was the impressive feat.
But when you speak for more than a day straight... I bet a lot of what he said would be considered rambling.
The progressive Democrats need to keep working to throw the corrupt moderate democrats out of their party.
But while they are doing that, we still need to keep fascists from taking power.
Anyone not voting against fascism is voting for fascism.
Trump got about the same amount of votes that he lost with the last time.
So yes, regular people deciding it wasn't worth their time to vote against fascism is definitely one of the problems here.
But the next election will still have ~90mil eligible voters that doesn't vote.
They just had to split that atom, huh?
In Finland they outlawed private schools. If rich people want to send their kids to good schools, they can invest in the public school system that benefits every student.
Shoutout to the protagonist: Will you PLEASE go back and fix this?
So? Its unmanned drones in a war. Why should we care?
There is so much research showing the moral issues of drone strikes, and how creating digital distance from the operator to the targets will easily lead to a higher count of civilian casualties.
I am all for Ukraine using drones to defend themselves against aggressors. But using drones in anything but defensive capabilities, where the civilians aren't your people, should be highly illegal.
You got here because american class solidarity is weak and easily divided. You got here because you didn't fight the corrupt bastards in your government. You got here because you let fascism brew in the background and grow stronger.
Voting for status quo is a better starting point than letting fascists take over, fighting them, and in the lucky case of victory being able to rebuild.
Not voting for status quo when the alternative is fascism, is equal to a vote for fascism.
