That’s the reality of America’s FPTP system.

If you did not vote for Harris, then you helped (directly or indirectly) Trump get elected.

It represents trickle-down.

Grains of rice don’t live, don’t love, don’t build relationships and societies with each other. People do.

Take your ice cream koan elsewhere.

HEY CHUMPS! Y’ALL GOT PLAYED BY A CONMAN! MUSK AND TRUMP DON’T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT ANY OF YOU! MAYBE THINK ABOUT THAT FOR ANY FUTURE ELECTIONS, HUH?

Some of us predicted this.

The rest of us wanted this.

The point of RCV isn’t to ensure your chosen candidate wins; it’s to ensure that whoever does win has at least some amount of approval from the majority of voters.

It does still have flaws, but it’s still far superior to the current system the US uses.

I personally think the biggest flaw of economics is how it takes “people are rational actors” as an axiom.

The fact that so many people can be convinced to vote against their economic best interests by supporting the GOP shows how fallacious that axiom is.

It’s been a long time since my college econ classes, but I remember the flaw with Laffer’s curve wasn’t so much that it exists as it was his assumption that we’re on the right side of the curve instead of the left.

As far as I can remember, even if Laffer was correct about his theory (and that’s a hell of an if) no one has been able to demonstrably prove the point where cutting taxes increases federal revenue. It’s pretty obvious at this point the whole theory is just a post hoc rationale for cutting taxes.

Yes, but what’s amusing to me is that this painting shows the wrist but not the palm.

Cave Johnson - we’re done here!

though some debate its use for non-medical fields.

Those “some” are the ones who don’t know that “doctor” has been used to refer to academics for literally hundreds of years and that its usage to refer to physicians has only been relatively recently.

Of course, I’m assuming the venn diagram of those people and the people who don’t know why Jill Biden is a doctor is just one solid circle.

he said you deserve to be let go. An opinion most of your country agrees with.

Too bad they didn’t share that opinion on 11/5/24.

Clearly Big Fluoride isn’t paying off the right people!

They’ll just dodge the issue by insisting that being LGBTQ is a choice.

You then ask them two follow-ups:

1. Why would anyone choose to be LGBTQ, when they treat anyone like that as poorly as they do, and

2. When did they decide to be cishet, and what factors did they evaluate when they made their choice?
