Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? is a really good graphic novel about a kid's relationship with his dad through the lens of retrofuturism, as it gradually tarnishes, starting with the 1939 World's Fair.
I'll probably go to Expo 2025 in Osaka this year, since I'll happen to be there, but it'll be hard to maintain any real optimism.
If voters bear no responsibility, do you really believe in democracy, or are you thinking about this as an issue to be solved by authority?
The self-righteousness of this discussion is a problem. Politics requires some humility, which we seem to be short of.
As I've said elsewhere: I wonder what controls Mozilla has in place to prevent gradual takeover of their board by those with an interest in removing Firefox as a competitor.

Mozilla's actions over the last few years would make much more sense if it were being manipulated into self destruction.
USB-A requires three attempts to connect, C only one.
They've put all their eggs in the Trump basket, with no clear line of succession. Once he is humiliated again this year, the fever will break for some, and the rest will splinter into infighting.

This company has been caught multiple times going back and changing the location of recorded shots in their system after the fact. I don't know why they're still in business.
So do feature testing, not user-agent sniffing! For Pete's sake, it's 2024! That's been the best practice for decades!
But voting third party doesn't actually accomplish anything. Take it from someone who did it for decades. It doesn't shake up or change the system, it just perpetuates the minority rule set up by Project Redmap.
The right way to do it is to vote your conscience locally, until there is enough support at higher levels. Skipping right to voting for third party presidential candidates is simply naive, I'm afraid.
Edit: Steve Hofstetter lays it out well (I wish I could find this one elsewhere) https://m.facebook.com/stevehofstetter/videos/why-voting-third-party-for-president-makes-no-sense/359024631794244/
He's active on Mastodon, too!
I think the rationale is that, when it's a single individual, they can't pass the buck or blame the group. It's a final appeal at a human level.
The trick is not electing a troll.
