The fact that Scott Adams seems to know how terrible capitalism is and depicts it regularly in his cartoons, but is a complete idiot conservative will never cease to fascinate me. I would say he needs to pick a lane, but I think he needs to find the road first.

Unfortunately that is pretty much how it's been going.

I'm not saying it isn't total horseshit that needs to be gone, I'm just saying that is how the math works.

Say you have a total of 10 voters. If two anti-fascist parties are split with 3 voters going to one party and 3 voters going with the other, but the fascists are more unified and get 4 voters, neither antifascist party has enough votes despite having a total of more voters, so the fascist party wins. Notice how both Anti-fascist parties sabotaged themselves by not being unified. It may be news to you but that is how First Past the Post voting works, and it is unfortunately the shitty system the US uses. The election happens whether you like it or not, and it is in your best interest to not end up being ruled by nazis. Perhaps a bit late for that though. Until that system is replaced along with that electoral college bullshit, the 2 senators per state regardless of population, and the cap on house reps, that's the game.

Hmm... Might have to read that.

We live in the same world as an overclocked magic 8 ball made from Rush Limbaugh's hollowed out skull, that runs up the light bill... named Grok... and it seems like nobody even paused. Grok sounds like a caveman name. Probably not a coincidence.
