I am not going to be sober if it turns out we have to deal with Trump (or notorious couch-fucker JD Vance) for another 4 years

    No wonder you feel powerless, what with first-past-the-post voting and… well, everything else 😅

    We’ve definitely got our problems here in Yurop too (like literal fucking neofascists being super popular), but at least we get proportional representation – I get to vote for democratic socialists so that it actually means something

      First past the post is bad, but the electoral college can make voter apathy unbearable. My state is more of a swing state now, but it used to be solidly red for decades, and voting blue felt like spitting in a hurricane.
