Also I would point out that there's nothing socialist about modern American fascism, considering that there's very little flirtation with collective ownership of the means of production going on (other than Sam Altman getting Trump to consider having the US government buy the gigantic economic black-hole-bomb he's built), but they do enact deals that look a good bit like socialism for corporations the regime favors...

The vast majority of voters in any party want the opposite of that but are told to vote for "the lesser of two evils" which admits to an inherently evil system.

This is only possible because the US has first-past-the-post elections, a clunky and primitive voting method that can enable this situation. Moving to more advanced voting methods like ranked choice or STAR voting prevents a two-party stranglehold from forming.

I'm a little surprised no one has tried to bring Manifest v2 back in a Chromium fork. It's supposedly open source after all. If it's too complicated to do practically, then really what's the point in Chromium being open source at all.

Comment Re:Trump vs Iran. (Score 1) 184

The president of Iran wasn't quite just a figurehead. Iran has a very unusual political system - an actual kind of democratic republic with a parliament, political parties and separation of powers embedded in a totalitarian theocracy. The president is the head of the government (basically a prime minister) and has the mandate to make decisions regarding non-religious and non-military things. At least that was the case until this war. The old theocracy elites were killed by the USA and the new ones are younger and far more radical. I wouldn't be surprised if they dismantle the civil government and create a second Afghanistan out of Iran.
