@icedquinn@blob.cat @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @kurimu@mk.absturztau.be Just because a small amount of states do something else does not mean that "winner takes all" is still the norm in most other states.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @kurimu@mk.absturztau.be makes it so that a Wyoming vote is worth 4 times as much as a California vote.California: 52 seats
Wyoming: 3 seats
:blobcatgoogly: mathIn California there are 800k people represented by one electoral vote, while in Wyoming there are only 200k people represented by one electoral vote. You're the one who doesn't understand math.

Also, abolishing the electoral college is not an unpopular opinion.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @kurimu@mk.absturztau.be I hope you realize most other countries don't do this, and for good reason.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @kurimu@mk.absturztau.be I know exactly what the electoral college does; it enables gerrymandering, enables a winner takes all system, puts the entire election in the hands of a handful of swing-states and makes it so that a Wyoming vote is worth 4 times as much as a California vote.

@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @kurimu@mk.absturztau.be Saying "democracy sucks" because the current pseudo-democracy system doesn't actually give people good options is the most doomposting shit ever.

Think of ways to do actual democracy, like abolishing the electoral college, forcing the two main parties to split into smaller parties, introducing binding referendums, etc.

Or if you're more hardcore: Fully abolishing representative "democracy" altogether, removing the cult personality and switching to a system of direct and/or liquid democracy.

@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @kurimu@mk.absturztau.be look at what people vote for and tell me again that what they need is more democracy.Look at what people vote for? I'd say the USA needs a little more democracy than choosing between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich every four years.

Of course the results are going to suck if you're going to organize a winner takes all race and these are your options.

@ellie@yearning.gay Reminder that its optional?

Can't wait to wake up tomorrow and see America on fire.

@hj@shigusegubu.club Very nice, good shit.

@hj@shigusegubu.club Nice!

@tlapka@ak.kawen.space Lego Space Station 13 lets go

@aetios@sns.minovsky.space That looks like a pretty cheap low quality kit not gonna lie. I have the official Aoshima Initial D branded AE86 model and it has a lot more detail including the engine and stuff.

@ellie@yearning.gay So just Hatsune Mikuo?

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com I don't think the laws of physics apply to cute 2D art of vocaloid

@hj@shigusegubu.club @aetios@sns.minovsky.space There were also so many Rin and Len cosplayers. I had no idea that they were still popular characters.

@hj@shigusegubu.club @aetios@sns.minovsky.space I am a fan of the obscene arts.

@hj@shigusegubu.club @aetios@sns.minovsky.space I was at the Miku concert last week.

I really liked the cosplayers. I saw a lot more Tetos than I expected, very welcome. Unfortunately I didn't see someone dressed as a Brazilian Miku. And Rabbit Hole cosplayers are :booba:

@hj@shigusegubu.club @aetios@sns.minovsky.space Yeah that actually makes sense now that I think of it.

Rabbit Hole Miku is much different from Brazilian Miku is different from Mesmerizer Miku, etc.

@hj@shigusegubu.club @aetios@sns.minovsky.space Oh yeah I forgot song was so popular that there's an actual "triple_baka" tag on booru sites.
