That names familiar.. that wasnt the guy who did the highlander tv show is it?

@bibliolater In clients it should, on the web not right now. we fixed the backend but there are a few lingering minor things on the front end.

@lxo

Then why do we see tons of examples of seemingly two party systems constantly switching their two primary parties in similar systems? Even in the usa the two main parties have been replacr with mew mainnparties 8 times.

@joaopinheiro Well the good news is this is probably our last election either way. Harris we have economic collapse, Trump we have no more democracy.. either way there wont be an america left for much longer, at least not one that resembles what we think of as america.

@wjmaggos if those structures are the cause then why is the twonparty system ubiquely ametican and not something wr see in any other election, even ones that have the same or similar structure?

@wjmaggos

Some are parlimentary, but not all of them no.

RCV would alleviate the party control, if they really had control. They dont. It is completely a lie they established that people bought and accept. Nothing more. Youbcant fix a purely cultural thing like being gullible to a lie putaide of fixing society sadly.

@wjmaggos

Im a huge supporter of RCV since it is simply a superior method. However the evidemce overwhelming ahows that FPTP voting (what we currently have) doesnt cause two party systems despite the myth. This is evidenced by the thousanda of elections aroubd the world that uae it without ahpwing a tendency for a two party system. Likewise we see in states with RCV it still maintains a twonparty dominance.

So as much as id love to see RCV sadly i dont think that ia the main problem. The problem ia just that americans are super gullible and actually are easily.manipulated i to beleiving there is a twonparty system ahen there isnt.

Who are you rpoting for, Harris and a complete global economic collapse and world war, or Trump ans the end of democracy in the USA? Choicea choices...

@FinalOverdrive

They certainly arent criminal, as for differences, whatever may exist they are subtle.

People have a tendency to get held up on some stupid shit sometime. I dunno, frankly I dont get it.

Valid, nor did Trump. Yet another reason to vote third-party.

@FinalOverdrive

Thats my point at the begining, everything we discussed is relevant only in a medical context (sex)... in a social context, like someone you meet on the street, their DNA or genitals or homones dont matter. What matters is how you contribute to their happiness, and that of society, rather than suffering. In that regard I'd say the **minimum** a person should do is address a person with respect. To call someone who is clearly trying to present as one sex by terminology for another is little more than an attempt to mock someone behind a veil of "biology".

@FinalOverdrive Yes a person can physically present aas a woman with male hormones if they have the wrong hormones or sensitivity to it. For example Androgen Insensativity Syndrome.

@FinalOverdrive

That is also a very valid point for sure. I think there are a LOT of people who present as one sex but have a hormonal balance closer to the other from such an early age their mind will be oriented more towards that sex.

> Gays that fuck kids ruined Holywood.

What about the hetrosexuals who fucked kids? What do gays have to do with it, why is that anymore relevant than any other random attribute in your statement?

People that fuck kids ruined Hollywood.

There I fixed it for you.

@FinalOverdrive

Yea I can see that it tracks.. Certainly the hormones radically shift your brain closer to the opposite sex over time. Im not sure that is exactly the same as having the hormone since birth, but its a huge step in that direction. Like i said medical science may be able to get you farther one day, or maybe we understand the brain better and my whole understanding is wrong, who the hell knows.

@FinalOverdrive

Well yes and no. There is no doubt hormones will effect the brain moving forward in many ways. But your brain establishes connections when you grow up that you cant change later in life. So hormones I might expect new connections to form in a way that reflects the opposite sex more, but hormones wont rewire your already established patterns, which would have encoded themselves according to the influence of your birth sex.

@wjmaggos

Spot on...
