deal with the misinformation in your community

capitalism superceded mercantilism about 2 centuries ago. it’s nowhere near as old as currency

communism is a wishful thinking pipe dream that turns into authoritarianism every time.

except every time it hasn’t

except all the ones you are ignoring

I expect to have more options on my ballot than that

that isn’t part of how mussolini defined it.

you can vote based on policies. the real takeaway from that video should be that strategic voting consolidates parties while values voting gives you a chance for your values to be reflected in the politicians you vote for.

I didn’t say he’s off base. I said it’s useless. he’s not actually making a claim that I can use to predict anything.

what is the rate at which consolidation if parties occurs? if a fptp system exists with more than two parties, what reason do we have to believe it will consolidate, and when?

it’s a critical rationalist examination that would label it tautological: it’s true and it’s always true because of how weasley the wording is. “people tend to do the right thing” is a tautological claim because every example of people not doing the right thing is already covered in theassive loophole opened with the term “tend”. there is no way to set up a test to disprove it.

duverger’s law is not actually a law at all, but a tautology. it has no actual predictive power, and hand-waves away evidence of instances where it has not turned out to be true.

isn’t there some irony that you’re linking papers about conspiracy theories while parroting the blueanon russophobia?

that’s how I feel about people blaming others for Israel killing kids.

everyone already opposes Israels aggression. releasing hostages won’t have any impact on that

Israel can stop agressing right now. your insinuation that I’m not even human is disgusting.

I’m telling you that the goal you think releasing hostages might achieve has already been reached. it’s like saying Israel would be able to hold gazans in an extermination camp, walls and everything, if hamas released the hostages. that shit is already happening.

Israel is responsible for it’s own soldiers killing Palestinians. no thing anyone else does changes this.

this is abuser’s logic. it’s not Palestinians fault that Israel is killing their kids.
