Hey, buddy, what do you think every fascist government calls em?

Crying about how the other guy is horrible to immigrants too doesn't bring back Rene or Alex. Nor does it change the fact that this illegitimate regime has taken things to an extreme never seen before.

Don't touch grass, go play in traffic instead.

Oh no, no, no. They're gonna leave em collecting dust in some warehouse right up until the newly privatized weather service needs equipment, who will be able to purchase them at an absolute steal!

Well that escalated quickly...

As someone born and raised there, I approve of this message!

Forcing us to be competitive will reduce competitiveness!!

Ummm...

Can't recall the vendor, but I saw at least one that tried a rent-a-PC things aimed at gamers. But the price was egregious, and I wanna say they didn't even ship the hardware they advertised.

Anyway, point was it's already being tested in the wild...

That's only ever happened temporariily during a shifting of the power and influence of the parties. And although it's may appear we had three parties, only two are really in power at a time. Also, the third always loses relevance and disappear.

Frankly, this isn't a matter of opinion, anyway, and to frame it as such is either ignorant or malicious. It is literally_impossible_ to sustain three parties within the rules of our voting and political system.

And one more detail that we don't want to overlook: the path to shaking up primaries starts right in your backyard. But that I mean the local elections. It feels so small to think about how much some random city officer means in the grand scheme - but the truth is the opposite, the unknown random jackass that maintains the lift stations (or whatever), those are the people who matter. Not a cheetoh-faced McDictator who thinks he matters but can't remember why.

And here's why: that tiny sliver of "power" in the hands of the little guy, if, and only if, you combine that with the tiny sliver in the hands of all the other nobodies, the combined strength is unstoppable - far more than a Mango Mussolini in a diaper.

But, fucking eh have they gotten good at convincing all us nobodies to avoid solidarity. But we have to just figure it out anyway, cause there is no losing. Not this time. It's win, or there nothing left to win or lose next time....

Ah, that does make sense

Only when he can't profit, though. He's been quite clear on that issue...

Oh, yes, I'm being horribly pedantic due to quite obviously being triggered, so I don't argue the related points you are making. Not at all.
