ELI5: Why do only the two biggest parties in the US a chance to win an election? in c/eli5@lemmy.world
[–] tux0r@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago

Dunno why you’re being down voted

Ah, I have stopped wondering about that ages ago. Must be a Lemmy thing.

Our electoral system is the reason. Only the highest vote percentage gets into government.

Thank you.

Still not enough really get them off the ground, but very much a way to make voices heard without sacrificing a seat in government.

That's great! :-)

they use their power to suppress third parties nationwide so voters only ever have two choices.

How do they do that?

I mean, there is a variety of intriguing political parties, but it's still always "Republicans or Democrats". Why?

Why is it not grave robbery to take artefacts from ancient graves and put them in a museum? (feddit.org)
 

As I was reading about the Valley of the Kings again, I wonder why that was actually legal.

yaydl 0.15.0: A YouTube (and more) downloader with Invidious support (code.rosaelefanten.org)
 

Thanks to a few bug reports, my own attempt at writing a better (well, I tried! after all, it's in Rust...) alternative to youtube-dl has reached version 0.15.0 just two days ago.

As it uses a configurable Invidious instance to fetch videos from YouTube now (playlists remain yet to be solved), I imagined it could be - at least - interesting to some of you.
