minus-squareTilted@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoWe need strong constraints for what laws politicians can pass. As a principle, I don’t think politicians should get to decide who can run against them or who can vote for them. If you like your politicians: I would suggest you should look inwards.

minus-squareTilted@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI didn’t vote for any of this. No one alive did. The system is rigged and deeply entrenched. Americans act like their voting is disenfranchised, because it is - not much of a choice available to be made.
