  • Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy

zackster There’s just too much incentive for people in power to preserve it. Maybe AI or climate change will disrupt our social systems enough to make a meaningful difference, but I’m not optimistic.

      303abuser after COVID I really dk what it will take for meaningful change. The fact that we came thru that with absolutely no renewed interest in national healthcare is absolutely insane to me.

        And our right wing provincial government is actively taking steps toward the privatization of healthcare. There’s a total misalignment between individual political incentives and societal goals. It’s clear that unless people start holding our decision makers accountable, there’s no other mechanism that will.

        Will be creamed to make $ for shareholders.

        Talk of UBI etc seems to have faded into the background

            Mad_Cyril When the labour market has been decimated and no one has money to buy anything, a solution will need to come from somewhere. You’re right the conversation seems to have disappeared, but I would assume it’s being discussed at a high level in some places. Maybe?

              So once he wins the election, everything gets tossed, no consequences again, then we get to watch a shit show for four years, followed by a likely more successful coup attempt. Go America.

              I like his laugh at the end, knows he’s had an absolute reg!

                Imagine spending every waking moment like your’re 6 joints-deep level baked.

                And he’s the sane choice. The democrats are completely useless.

                Yep. Fuck em. I would never vote for Don under any circumstances, but I couldn’t care less if he wins this thing.

                Smallman1 I like his laugh at the end, knows he’s had an absolute reg!

                He smiled because he saw Strom Thurmond appear like a dead Jedi in the audience

                  Finally the bipartisan action the country has been begging for

                    I am still of the belief that Joe wins but this is yet another bad poll for him.
