America: where young people are coddled until they're 18 then it's either sell your body, sell your soul, or both multiple times over just to survive.

Well they did say "Your body, my choice". I wonder how they'd react if it was their body and someone else's choice?

Good! Now Northern ~~Rail~~ Fail can have a score showing how badly they perform.

And come on Andy, take over these rail lines already and roll them into Bee Network.

They're betting that they can sell before that happens and someone else is left holding the bag: pension funds and 401k.

I hope you bought your guns, beans, and gasoline.

In principle, under a First Past The Post system you can get vote splitting parties and those votes for those representatives should still be counted because if they got more votes than last time and are on an upward trajectory then those candidates can measure how well they're resonating with their voters.

But with the USA's FPTP and electoral college system, I'd agree with you, there's zero point in counting those votes before declaring the winner because ultimately the electoral college comes down to red or blue which is the only thing that matters in US politics.

This is a shame because a private continent like the US could be the greatest tapestry of all flavours of political candidates and ideologies with debate and compromise if it wasn't for:

  1. The electoral college and FPTP making it into a two party system.

  2. The hugely biased news media which has no obligation to report factually and fair.

  3. That both sides (with the Republicans being the one that is objectively worse because of their abhorrent behaviour that's somehow only gotten worse of late) vying for that insider trading perk and getting to control the worlds largest military and therefore dictate history.

I'm glad for you but please remember that progress is not inevitable it is fought for to attain and needs to be fought for it to be kept.

Then unsubscribe and block this community. If you don't like reading peoples commenting on a public freakout then.. don't read them?

Or is there something specific about this instance that's triggering for you? Perhaps it's just yet another comment you're being instructed to leave by your boss or server.

Idk I'm just here for the freak-outs because people's behaviour when irrational and angry is interesting to me.

Edit: also it's not an explanation of the situation it's your hypothesis you're choosing to project onto this situation. Again who knows why you're choosing to do that, only you I guess.

So hypothetical raped & killed girlfriend by Hamas = has a right to shout at a volunteers for a UN charity organisation stopping kids from dieing of starvation and disease?

Be careful you don't break your spine bending over that far backwards to excuse his behaviour.
