I’m not an American. I don’t live in the US.

I can’t control who the DNC put forward as a candidate.

All I can do is go on the internet and tell Americans “when the choice is The Fascist or The Other One”, don’t vote for the fascist. Don’t take votes away from the one who’s not a fascist that could win, either by voting third party or by not voting.

Why do I care? Because the president of the US has a disproportionate amount of influence over the rest of the world. Leaving NATO, selling Ukraine down the river, appeasing Putin, none of this makes the rest of us safer.

So go and vote.

Cool, I’m sure a second Trump presidency will do way more for you, so enjoy that.

Kickstarter are the ones for me - I get spam unrelated to any projects I’ve backed, so somehow they got hold of that address…

Because it’s not made of cobalt…

I’m assuming Columbo was another of Janeway’s “holonovels” (is that a posh future way of saying “videogame”?)

That’s the great thing about single player games - you can just use a save editor and retcon anything you need as you go along…

Yes, the turtleneck and the belt really made it work.

In the latest general election there was a constituency decided by fifteen votes. And several decided by less than 100.

Terrifying to think an MP could be elected because their name was Aaron A Aaronson rather than their party or reputation or policies and some goobers just wanted to play at being a functional member of society…

Shhhhh, it’ll be ok, just go to sleep…

Hahah, that is… well, terrifying.

While I don’t believe in disenfranchising people, how do you deal with the voters who are literally too dumb to understand the process…?

Guns dont mass murder people, mass murderers do.

Sure, but the guns help.

Try for a mass casualty event with some knives. It’s doable, but you have to work for it.
