Our system admins and developers discuss their progress in the QOTO chat, thats your best bet to keep up with the progress. We fixed a few of them last night, a few are still outstanding, the fixes havent been pushed to the site yet.

@ABScientist

well to be fair i never said he would pull out military aide completly. So under him the palestinians arent out of the woods. They just have a bit more of a fighting chance if he follows his pattern from last time.

@stux @lowqualityfacts

I doubt the accounts would delete themselves though, that would be too easy to identify them.

Keep in mind on both those platforms that is a natural pattern. When i get a lot of followers in one day it always rebounds shortly after.

Just a reminder, under Trump spending on the genocide against the Palestinian people went from 4.7 b at the end of Obama/begining of Trump's time in office, down to 4.3b byt he end (just military support for israel not humanitarian aide).

Under Biden Harris it went the opposite direction, from a spending of 4.3b at the start to a whopping 12.5b in support of the genocide in 2024.

I cant say I'm happy with Trump winning, but at least I can say the palestinians might be better off. All I know is this is why Harris, more than anything else, was never going to see my vote.

@cobratbq

I've seen the video before. It, and ones like it, are what i mean when I say even the theory effectively admits that it is only an illusion anyway and doesnt represent a true 2-party system (that the support will flip in large movements rather than small).

@cobratbq

> I think it is a bit of a sinkhole that if you get stuck with two major parties it's hard to get away from that.

If that is true then why dont any other elections get "stuck" like we did? Also why is it the states that moved to RCV, which should have eliminated the 2 party system, yet they still vote according to the 2-party myth, showing it is simply the gullibility in believing in the 2-party system, nothing physical making it real.

The truth is really much simpler than that, everyone likes to think so highly of the people because it sounds inspirising, and everyone wants to blame the system and the leaders and some corruption and while all those are issues they arent really our problems they are our symptoms. Really america has one problem.. the people, they are vile, and they are gullible and **very** easily manipulated. One of those manipulations is to convince them that the 2-party system is real. We will always have a 2-party system because it isnt real, its in their head, but their dumb enough that once they beleive something it never changes because all the evidence in the world never changes an american mind. I mean already the evidence is overwhelming that that 2-party system is purely a myth that exists only because it is believed, and yet, look how hard everyone believes it, all because they refuse to accept americans are just broken people who do stupid things.

@cobratbq

Its a myth because it is only the beleif in it that creates the effect at all. If no one thought there was a two party system there wouldnt be one.

Few points of evidence:

* Before people in the USA thought there was a two party system, there wasnt. Despite the voting system not having significiantly changed prior to the last 100 years the primary parties changed all the time. Throughout US history the 2 dominate parties have been replaced 8 times

* Other countries with a first-past-the-post voting system do not show a tendency to a 2-party system. There are countless elections around the world using this approach that dont consistently have the same 2 parties win

* Even if you model out the debunked theory claiming FPTP results in 2 party it doesnt make sense. Under that model it would only produce an illusion of a two party system (where the real support concentrates in the top 2 in votes). Nothing about the model would keep the same 2 parties in power, it would just cause the switching between parties to be abrupt (third parties with little votes in previous years suddenly jumping to 51% support over a single election). So even in pure theory if we accept the myth in that context it is still not real in any meaningful way.

@sufferforme I am impressed by your commitment to your faith.

As expected I'm both proud of america for seeing Harris for who she is and not voting for her but likewise disapointed to see Trump get support. Still gullible buying the two party myth.

Well 4 years of trump,back to riots I guess.

@aosinski I think it depends on the type of betting. If its like horse betting where the spread is defined by the number of bets to ensure the house wins no matter what, then yes. But when the odds are calculated by the housae and fixed I'd argue it is more reliable since the house stands to loose a lot of money, so they are compelled to make accurate predictions or else loose tons of money.

@Itchy Not accepting politicians lieing to us is **exactly** why i cant vote blue (or red).. that and Blue's support of genocide and Harris' abuse of trans-people.

If one side actually told the truth you might have a point...

@rchusid

Its worse than that, though those points are true. Harris has a history of actively promoting hate against trans people, specifically her spearheading the SESTA act which explicitly denies access to hormones to any trans people under arrest. She and Trump never had any business being leaders to begin with. Third party was **always** the only real ethical choice this election.

@aosinski You can find them at any online place (legitimate) where you an place bets on the outcome of the election. For example Robinhood app is one that lets you place such bets.

As of a few days ago the odds for a Harris win was 43% and Trump 57%.

Doesnt get more "natural" than homosexuality...

LOL forget about polls, you want to know the chance to win look at the odds vegas is giving on the election. I dont want to see Trump be president but as of yesterday Trump was odds to favorite by a large margin. So regardless of who you may like, i hope you are ready for the civil unrest that is coming either way...

Just to be clear I never claimed to be atheist. I never claimed my religious descriptive title at all. Most do assume I am atheist though.
