I guess that’s what it means now

As an anarchist, I too would prefer Nobody for president.

(But given current practical realities, I hope enough of you Americans cote dem to keep the fascists out)

I don’t know how you’d measure driving “goodness”, but I expect the distribution would be something like exponential (there are billions of non-drivers, and only a few rally/stunt drivers). So the average is likely to be higher than the median.

This is hilarious

After you answer the same question

Yep. The thing I worry about is, even if the dems pull of a win that gives them the power to do this, would they actually do it? I doubt it, somehow.

As someone who is politically active in ways other than voting, I’m calling bullshit. You’re just making assumptions about how other people act, you have no evidence.

A better solution would be for the US to implement some kind to voting system where third party voting does matter. Like lots of the world has.

It’s possible to vote Dem and still do all the other things you listed.

The US needs to fix their voting system. Preferential voting, run-off, whatever. First past the post sucks.

Also the gerrymandering.

Source (on the first bit in particular)? I mean, that’s easy to believe, given the behaviour of other European colonists in other places, but also not the kind of thing I’d want to claim without references.

I feel like I’m seeing that attitude a lot. I guess some other people also feel it, but worry that expressing it will reduce the dem vote. Which is unfortunate, but also understandable.

I’m not american, fwiw

Because genocide support from the US under Trump is likely to be substantially worse than it is under a democrat government.

Your metaphor makes no sense because you can both vote for a lesser evil and take action against genocide in lots of other ways (voting isn’t the only thing you can do)

Firefox was decent 10 years ago.

99.9% sure that’s in quotes because it’s an intentional pun

They are. All cities contract arborists on a regular basis. You don’t need massive machinery, just a person with ropes and a chainsaw, some ground crew and smallish truck and maybe a chipper to remove the wood.

(Source: have worked as ground crew before.)

I think the old sidewalks are still there on the other side of the bushes. There is certainly space for them.

All the station wagon I ever owned I could comfortable sleep in the back of, with a partner. Hatchbacks are way too short.

I’m a fan of (five door) hatchbacks, but station wagons were fucking cool
