I imagine TBI is going to be more variable in its effects than something from constant low level brain damage (chemically or impact) or from a stroke as well though right?
If my assumption is right, then that would likely explain why you are an outlier, rather than that brain damage's effect doesn't at least trend conservative.
As an American, no, at least when it comes to averages. Fuck the average American.
OK, I actually think we might be getting somewhere for once. What exactly do you propose to solve that problem? Because saying people need to make more educated decisions isn't going to make it so. Most people do not want to even think about politics let alone become deeply educated about it, so its an uphill battle on somehow educating the masses before you have any actual political power to mandate that education.
I mean, I still think game theory applies with first past the post. Like for instance if you have 2 equally liked anti-racist candidates and 1 singular awful one that appeals to subconscious racism, the racist one is more likely going to win due to splitting the anti-racist vote. But still, I'm curious about your solution to the educated voting problem.
I'm saying that people who are paying attention can't know for certain that a sufficient number of other people are paying enough attention to even shift their vote from the democrats to a brand new leftwing party with sufficient "brand awareness" without undermining the lesser evil's chances by jumping over for any given major election.
Half the population pays virtually no attention to politics. Meaning trying for a third party for president is a laughably if not willfully ignorant unless you've done the ground work elsewhere in government built up awareness of the party from holding smaller offices first.
I mean I disagree, but I am curious. Who then?
People are not a hive mind.
No thanks. I already resent the amount of my life I've spent on trying to make the world not suck and not just... living a life.
Then again, I do also resent being born. Not the same as being ok with dying though.
I might have to do that.
Both equally insufferable, but NFT son is more consequentially risky.
I'm now dead because police shot me on a college campus.
I also discount your political takes because it has lead us to doom.
Hit the Whooper Button!
