Now the Palestinians in the USA will also have problems, due to Trump's policies.

So, congratulations for the self-goal?

I see no Green party members on the local ballot to enact this. They are starting at the top, which doesn't help.

I'm not an expert in it, but according to the Wikipedia link, they score the possible candidates to get down to two, and then they do an automatic runoff.

If third parties wanted to actually do some good in the country, you'd see them running locally and encouraging either ranked-choice voting or STAR voting (Score, then automatic runoff).

For evangelicals, you can take anything, put a Jesus sticker on it, and they'll love it.

Bad chicken sandwich, Jesus sticker. Love it! Dog poop, Jesus sticker. Love it! Trump, Jesus sticker. Love it!

Wow, 50/50 split. Bold prediction, Nate!

Nate has been wrapped up in the betting markets, and I'm afraid he's not the same Nate Silver from 2008.

Obama outperformed the establishment Democratic candidate in 2008 and became the candidate. It's not impossible.

And they pay for terrible health insurance and health care

 

As a project, Mastodon has operated under the umbrella of Mastodon GmbH, a German company that benefited from non-profit status with the German government. Despite all indications that they were doing everything right, Mastodon GmbH recently had its non-profit status revoked, resulting in the team to seek an alternative.

In the announcement, CEO and founder Eugen Rochko had this to say:

Our day to day operations are largely unaffected by this event, since Patreon does not presuppose non-profit status, and Patreon income does not count as donations. We have in fact not had to issue a single donation receipt since 2021.

Mastodon remains one of the only popular social platforms that operates out of the European Union, and Eugen desires to keep things that way. With that being said, this could be an interesting opportunity for the project: a presence in the United States may reduce friction in hiring employees there.
