Is this what they meant that North-Korea is entering the war? Will the Axis of Dictatorship go all out?

Literally Orwell.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

That 3. party better be Election Reform.

It may not be the person you voted for, but there is someone that’s supposed to represent your community.

That's a weird take on politics. "Hitler comes from my place so he represents me."

As a non-EU European I vote on country politics at the national elections, and local politics at the county elections. That way I have local representation in local matters, and national representation at national matters.
The current right wing surge in Europe is mostly because people don't like the amount of Muslim immigrants and most countries have only far right parties that rides on that matter. Plus Russian influence I assume.

You do not get a good political landscape with one seat districts that can even be gerrymandered. Every fucking US state house is divided in DEM and REP, that's not healthy.

In a binary system they are sadly still better than the other choice. Vote at every instance for greener alternatives inside the democrats and election reform.

You dont even get a representative by 2., 3. and 4. candidate votes in the 1 seat districts. Your vote is actually worth zero if it doesn't win. My 7th party vote goes towards a party representative that can voice my cause. My vote is not lost at all.

I think it would be more effective to start an election reform faction inside the Dems rather than abstain the vote for democracy against dictatorship.

One of the parties CENCORED the EPA from using the word climate change and dropped the USA out of the accords.
HOW FUCKING BRAINDEAD WOULD YOU HAVE TO BE TO LET THAT BASTARD INTO THE OFFICE AGAIN!!!

When the options are democracy or dictatorship and you choose not to vote... it's kinda gross. I get that you got a failure of a system over there, but the fight to update your democracy should be done after you choose to have one.

"Even in a proportional representation system"
In a proportional system votes for other candidates aren't lost tho, which means it doesn't force a two party system by design.
I don't think it is stated enough how horribly weak the current US one seat FPTP system is.

Yes, economic freedom, that's what liberal refer to elsewhere than the US I believe.

Whether one looks at revenue, investment or coverage, men’s sports do better than women’s. Many assume that absolute differences in quality of athletic performance are the driving force. However, the existence of stereotypes should alert us to another possibility: gender information might influence perceived quality. We perform an experiment in which 613 participants viewed clips of elite female and male soccer players. In the control group, participants evaluated unmodified videos where the gender of the players is clear to see. In the treatment group, participants evaluated the same videos but with gender obscured by blurring.
Using a regression analysis, we find that participants rate men’s videos higher – but only when they know they are watching men. When blurring obscures the gender, ratings for female and male athletes do not differ.
We discuss implications for research and the sports industry.

I'm afraid that with how quick, "thoughtful" and personalized these can be, I will have even less human interaction. Noone can keep up with this?
