When your choice is keeping the status quo, or everything getting a lot worse, that doesn't seem to be a difficult choice.

Democrat Party

This "red flag" is meaningless to people broke the age of 50 or so. I am a Democrat. I vote for the candidate who is a Democrat. Obama was a Democrat.

I don't have time to get pissy over the difference between the noun and the adjective. If that's all the points they can score on us, they are welcome to them.

The review by 538 is a much more important judgement.

My grocery store started selling Envy apples. I find them to be my new favorites.

Local board game shop.

If you aren't there, I'm never gonna find you.

This sort of thing is supposed to discourage the bots that reddit is plagued with.

All the time.

I just can't be bothered.

Do you think the news just appears on webpages for us to consume?

Particularly in the case of investigative journalism, there is a skill involved in writing the stories, and it consumes the time and effort of many people.

Charging money for your work is not "gatekeeping." It's how you keep eating.

Best we keep reminding them of it.

Italy was a constitutional monarchy under fascist rule.

And the US is, theoretically, a democracy, and if we aren't under fascist rule, we will be soon enough. Fascism can spring from any form of government.

your second paragraph is something only ignorant bootlickers say

So you feel that Obama-Trump-Biden-Trump was as stable as any government needs too be? No improvement to be made there?

The reason one has a constitutional monarchy is to try to split the difference, I think, and get the best parts of each system.

But I'm with you. No kings.

As it is we in the UK are stuck with a mind-meltingly wealthy, influential and unaccountable family who have extremely questionable members and histories.

They influence laws to benefit their own ends, they shield abusive behaviour and individuals, and they do it all in the name of maintaining a tradition that fundamentally says that some people are simply “better” than others.

We have these too. Is just that they are more unofficial.

Do none of you people have clothes pins? Or does that count as Neutral Good?

Also, CG and CN need to be switched. There is no way the bottle hack counts as "good."

I wouldn't choose such a system, I think, but I can't say that there aren't at least a few half decent arguments for it.
