Their system isn’t set up to realistically accommodate third parties. Without actually overhauling the entire electoral system (something neither major party wants) the only way to get any third party representation would be a massively coordinated grassroots campaign that would require a huge amount of funding to overcome all the media attacks it would suffer.

In effect, as the system currently works, a third party vote is a wasted vote unfortunately.

I don’t think you understand the point of the protests. People don’t want their government funding and supplying the weapons for a genocide.

What would a protest about Sudan achieve if your country has no involvement in it?

Exactly. I feel sorry for everyone in the US who has to live through another Trump term, but from my outsider perspective the Dems really screwed themselves on this one.

I never saw a single person say Trump would be better for Palestine, so I’m not sure what you’re on about…

As for complaining about Dems and not Trump, that makes sense to me because it’s assumed that Trump is shit, but Dems pretend to be better than they are.

I guess we’ll see if those elections happen this year.

Zionism is a colonizing venture and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to build, it is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot.

We cannot offer any adequate compensation to the Palestinian Arabs in return for Palestine. And therefore, there is no likelihood of any voluntary agreement being reached. So that all those who regard such an agreement as a condition sine qua non for Zionism may as well say “non” and withdraw from Zionism. Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population - behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach. That is our Arab policy; not what it should be, but what it actually is, whether we admit it or not.

It’s how long this has been allowed to go on for that disgusts me. The images from a year ago were awful enough to show how much Gaza had already been devastated.

South Africa’s genocide case against Israel was submitted to the ICJ in December 2023 FFS.

They were the one that brought up Russia for no reason lol

It doesn’t have to change anything. They can be correct, and I can find the irony funny at the same time. If they hadn’t mentioned Russia for absolutely no reason then I wouldn’t have felt the need to say anything.

Nope. Pretty funny that you’re embarrassed enough to lie about it though lol

Are you from that country that just voted in a convicted felon as their next president?

Am I blind or does the article not indicate how many companies trialled it?

Also, this alone would significantly improve my job satisfaction:

Reports from the trial showed that the frequency and duration of meetings was reduced by 60%, which makes sense to anyone who works in an office – many meetings could have been a simple email.

There is a list

Ignoring the insurmountable pile of contradictions in the bible, hell is actually the default afterlife destination due to humans being born with “original sin” (don’t know if that applies to embryos, but apparently god wasn’t aware of embryos when the bible was written).

Each sect has their own beliefs on the matter, with the majority believing all babies and children go to heaven, even though the bible does not explicitly say that this is the case.

I don’t know if this was a test run or an actual operation of some kind, but Russia evidently wants to carry out more of these attacks, as they have been mapping out these cables for years now, and have recently been running national internet outage drills.
