so if the majority want fascism it can’t be a democracy? I thought democracy was majority rule. Can it not be that majoirty rule itself IS the issue?

government is so weird There, fixed it for ya.

By every definition of democracy I’m familiar with the Republic of India is a democratic government. Do you think it’s not? If so, why not?

Good point. I would consider SMS, MMS, Phone call & email “normal” but it woulda probably been better if I used a different term, maybe “long established protocols?”

The only people I know who use WhatsApp are Indian. The only reason I have ever used WhatsApp is many of my Indian friends are unreachable by any normal means. And it was that way since before Meta ever bought them. If Modi tried to completely eliminate WhatsApp than people would be upset about it.

The largest democracy in the world. Democracy is majority rule so unless the majority are firm about not wanting this no reason for the government to prevent it. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of Indians are in favor of such things.

yes

I’ve never got Jami to actually work.

He’ll be the oldest president America has ever had. Maybe he’ll die beside he has a chance to do too much damage.

Not to mention data and memory intensive.

Similarly I have no clue why my new work laptop comes equipped with a dedicated “copilot” key.

yeah, I work in automotive and “vehicle inhibit” is definatley a feature we have. I could be wrong but I think its actually a legal requirement now to sell in certain jurisdictions (I don’t work in that side of the company).

or he just has priorities that include travel experiences that he’d rather spend his limited cash on than a hotel. Until I got old and needed a c-pap machine this was certainly my preference.

uhm, the pacifica doesn’t fit this description (source, worked at FCA on this kind of stuff and we put it in the pacifica).

The Dodge Grand Carvan, which was basically unchanged from '08-'19 on the otherhand…

Not sure where these numbers come from, but its probably close to true

[The actual outcome of this election with •the whole US population• as the denominator:

22% voted for Harris 23% voted for Trump <1% voted for other 26% eligible but did not vote* 28% not eligible to vote](https://pod.haxxors.com/posts/cef4a6408974013d2c4b3b1e797ecdfc)

yep. I just with some car company would choose not to do this and advertise the fuck out of it. (looking at you Chrysler you have nothing to lose)

A network switch

If one where to think that Trump where the lesser of two evils would you discourage them from voting Libertarian?

For most people a vote for Trump or Biden is actually a wasted vote. Most states are solidly Blue or Red so voting R/D won’t change anything. It is far more likely that your single vote for a new Party’s candidate will get them over the threshold to maintain ballot access for the following election cycle, than your vote for an old Party’s candidate will get them over the threshold to receive the plurality of the vote. Maintaining ballot access for new parties allows them to spend more money the next time actually getting out their message and building votes rather than having to spend most of it paying petitioners to get back on the ballot again. Eventually this could lead to a more representative multi-party system in the USA. But treating every election as “the most important election of our lifetime” and refusing to vote for a candidate that more closely represents your values rather than the one more likely to beat the candidate you dislike most, purpurates the system of abuse. Its like a person returning to their previous partner that verbally abuses them because they fear their partner that physically abuses them.

yeah, that’s not going to happen, its just scare tactics.

THe Libertarian candidate will be on the ballot in every state
