Getting Independents wins elections. How it’s always been and how it always will be until we get rid of FPTP.

Seriously, why is one of the things that makes Canadians go “CANADA FUCK YEAAAA” the processed, prepackaged version of a British-invented, American-associated dish, that isn’t legally allowed to be called what it’s supposed to be in Canada?

If you thought I was being literal, I don’t know what to tell you.

I do not see how you equate not voting with Trump support when you’re literally on the “Kamala wasn’t left enough for me” website. And I’m speaking as someone who does think those people are fucking stupid and that they’re about as or maybe even less likely to start a revolution than people who did vote.

I think most people in the native English speaking world recognize Kirk regardless of their opinion on sci-fi.

“NoFap” doesn’t really refer to any masturbation addiction program as much as it refers to a specific community on Reddit that very much is pseudoscientific and the mods have promoted right wing candidates.

The benefits are all either “I personally have self esteem issues from masturbating, likely due to religious norms” or “I’m overthinking the concept of a refractory period.”

“Everything is political” is a terrible way to convey that you should care about politics. It conflates the broadest dictionary definition of “politics” with the narrow, collaquial one, and it overwhelms the layman.

How about “take an interest in politics, or it’ll take an interest in you?” It centers the interests of the individual you’re conversing with, and doesn’t leave the implication that politics should be the only thing they care about (contrarily, it posits caring about other things is why you should care about politics.) I see this phrase repeated within the Vtuber community, which is normally a very politics-resistant space, in light of tarrifs driving up merch prices.
