Instant Sunrise posted:It's where most black people in the south live. Also a lot of those counties have very low population, since both white people and those black people who can afford to move refuse to live in them. Because the state governments tend to punish those counties with cut back services, especially in Alabama and Mississippi.

How do systems that don't have a two-party system manage elections for positions like President? How did they avoid creating a system that encourages there only be two parties?

However, one time, I was able to watch a huge wolf spider make a massive web between two street lights (~10 yards apart maybe? I'm bad with distance, and this was about a decade ago). Seeing it leap that distance repeatedly and craft a god drat work of art was a really cool way to spend an hour.

I'm really enjoying how effective he's been at specifically loving over Trump's game in UT, considering basically no one outside of the state has any idea who he is.

Covok posted:How do systems that don't have a two-party system manage elections for positions like President? How did they avoid creating a system that encourages there only be two parties? We elect parties not leaders themselves. It makes it much easier to have more than 2 parties exist at once. The Prime Minister is just the leader of the winning party.

It's not perfect but better than the joke american elections are

what is it like to live in a place so sterile you can actually rid a place of pests or where you think mammals of any kind are a pest. Like I lived in a house with a landlord so lovely that we eventually had to seal off one of the bathrooms because it had been more or less taken over by roaches and he wouldn't do anything about it.

Covok posted:But doesn't this mean you can have leader you didn't elect who hold opinions you wouldn't have voted for if you had known they'd lead? Yes. But the PM holds less power as an individual than your President does. Most things go through a parliamentary vote, though you can have cases where what you point out happens. In Canada we just went through it with the Conservative government led by Stephen Harper. His party was nothing but followers and yes-men that bowed to his every whim and it has done irreparable damage to the country.

Pretty sure they know I'm afraid of them and gently caress with me on purpose. The city recently rolled out new rat-proof trashcans for every residence, and it honestly seems to be making a huge difference, thank god.

Covok posted:Perchance the debate tomorrow won't be rigged in Trump's favor by the conservative media? But, probably not. Trump is right that the election is rigged: only by the media giving him so many easy breaks and being so unfair to his opponent would a man like him ever make it as far as he did Yeah, the media helped him win the primary and gives him more free air time than any other candidate. He was a reality TV star so obviously he has used favors from the media to get him to where he is today. He just shoots himself in the foot every time he is given these free opportunities to address millions of people. He is his own worst enemy. I could never say that I saw a train wreck in slow motion until this election season. Even if the improbable happens and he wins this election his campaign was still a train wreck. He won’t win. He won’t win. He won’t win. Third time lucky.

There was an article in the Texas Tribune about it that makes it seem slightly more reasonable than what people in these threads were saying.
