Yes, I agree. But in our current climate we have media and not a whole lot of social interaction. So for all intents and purposes currently media is driving our culture.
You can both vote and organize. Why vote? The more fascist the government is the harder it is to organize. For only 15 minutes every 2 years, it's actually a pretty powerful tool. It may not move things left but it slows down the fascism.
All that hard work and compromise and yet, you can't bring yourself to get your hands a little dirty by voting for the lesser evil. You are accelerating the rate at witch your friends die by police. For what reason?
I think firewitch's point was that third parties almost by definition have zero chance of getting a candidate elected in a first past the post system. This is pretty common knowledge.
Thanks for the tip! Done!
I moderate a community. Do I need to move that community? Or can I just give it over to my new account?
Context?
So small talk is a horrible name then.
Could one, instead, just ask "Hey, are you willing to get into a big deep metaphysical conversation right now?" Then ask the question?
Very hungry.
People need to miss at least three meals in a row before they start getting serious. We don't have the material conditions yet to act.
This reminds me of space station 14 green text.

I wish I felt less socially awkward about making positive comments about others appearances.
Global sports events have never been hosted by governments with terrible human rights records right?

No no no noooooo.
The media creates the culture.

Thanks, yes, in this case I think it makes sense to vote third party.
Ah, I see, you have done the math. Ok, this is the only condition which I would consider voting 3rd party not morally dubious. Thanks!

That is because you are effectively throwing your vote away.
Or you don't care or want to give the more evil of the two dominate parties a small advantage while telling yourself you are good. I guess you do you.
