What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway? (kbin.melroy.org)

When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

The impact he is discussing assumes that person voting 3p would automatically voting for his team. That's statistically speak at best half right.

No, its not like that at all.

It doesn’t matter who Meh and Oh no are for that voter. The results are the same.

If you have a Meh candidate, and Oh No candidate, and a Please Something Else candidate, and you vote for something else, its now easier for Oh No to get elected, because Meh has fewer votes.

I am no emotionally invested in either regime whore.

My position is to deny both engagement.

And I'm sure the Germans who "never supported the Nazi's" were proud of their acts of abstinence after the fact.

Its a terrible system with FPTP for sure, but doing anything that makes it easier for really bad guys to get in power is enablement, full stop.

Will the really bad guys care about a protest vote? No, they'll thank you.

Will the not so bad guys care about the protest vote if they get elected? Not really, they got elected while ignoring the voice of the people, so why change?

To fix the system you need to get the least worst option elected, and then get out and protest, and cause as much pain for the elected officials as possible to get anything changed. Means protesting at a level that is significantly impacting the economy.

Don't fuck around with a 'protest vote' that's going to do as much nothing as electing the Meh option.

Yes voting for 3p is the vote for "nazi" 🤡

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

and as a result you will get the Oh No regime

I have been suffering udner the two party regime all my life.

After this election, it will still be the two party regime 🤡

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

So do you consider the possibly of ending up with a one party regime to be a likely improvement?

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -2 points 1 month ago

Voting 3p will result in 1 party regime?

Please do tell...

The Republican Party has the will of the Supreme Court. That means they can rule for, or against constitutional changes unilaterally.

They have already ruled that the President is immune to the law if they are acting in 'official capacity', which they have left to themselves to decide if its official or not.

The presidential candidate has said he wants to go after the 'enemy within' directly referencing his political opponents.

He can go out and round up anyone with significant pull from the Democratic party, detail them illegally, (but now legal because its in an official capacity)

Anyone else who speaks out against the brutality will summarily be included in that.

How far off is that from where Putin has established himself, where elections are things they say the have, but is really just a form of performance art?

Two party system last the entire span of the US government. It aint going anywhere....
