It wouldn't fix the system at all but it would still be a move in the right direction.

I have no idea how this could be called "thinking short term" or how getting rid of the electoral college would "turn into a bigger problem later." It's possible that at some point in the future, it could benefit Republicans, somehow, but only if a majority of the people were voting Republican. There is never going to be a situation where I would miss the electoral college, lol, get rid of it and it's gone forever and we can continue addressing other ways our elections are messed up.

A crackpot who is connected to the CIA and a known source of misinformation and fake news.

Impossible! I've been repeatedly informed that Joe Biden is the only one who could possibly stop Trump. Are you telling me that the party has a better chance without him?! The Russian bots were right all along??

And yet, still zero evidence 🤔

I intend to vote for a third party.

I know that you think I'm throwing a childish fit. That's because, fundamentally, you don't consider Palestinians to be human beings, just as your kind didn't see Iraqis or Afghans as human when they were being slaughtered. To you, this is just some random pet issue I've taken up to feel good about myself. But it's not. I have nothing but hatred for Biden and people like him, and I have incredibly good reason for that. "Genocide" isn't just a word, it's not something to be casually brushed aside. It must be opposed, everything else be damned. If you genuinely attempted to see the world from their perspective, you would understand.

Someday the democrats will decide that us trans people are too much of a liability and throw us under the bus too, and you'll rationalize it by placing us in the exact same subhuman category you use whenever they murder a million people in the Middle East. Call me childish all you want, you're just telling on yourself about how seriously you take their deaths.

Well, if not voting for Trump counts as supporting him, then rest assured that Biden will have my "support."

I'm not lifting a finger to help either of them. If Trump wins, it'll be because the Democrats nominated that senile, genocidal corporate sycophant. It's their job to win elections, not mine. I've heard you people try to shift all blame away from your shitty party and onto the left a thousand times before. You're wasting your time. As I said, I don't give a shit. Fix the party, win without me, or lose. Your choice, I've made mine.

I literally only advocated for you to get what you're advocating for. Your conclusion that that means I was calling for your death only makes sense if you were advocating for death yourself.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

I only wished for you to receive the consequences of what you support. If that's death, then I'll turn the question back to you: why do you feel the need to wish people death?

POTUS does not have the power to unilaterally end that agreement; Congress does.

False

I'm shocked that you can't answer. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

The $2 per day is a figure used by the World Bank. According to this page:

The welfare of people living in different countries can be compared by adjusting for differences in the purchasing power of their currencies.

I don't know the exact details of the World Bank's methodology, but I believe the $2 figure is adjusted based on purchasing power.

Hey, while you're here, care to answer the question yourself? You must have an answer if you're criticizing other answers.
