Parliamentary systems are substantially more susceptible to facism and nationalism than multicameral legislatures with a separate executive.
And they’re hardly proof against the sort of gerrymandering that makes the US House less responsive to general election voters than it should be.
“We should abandon all those queer kids in small communities because there are so many grown up MAGA redcaps around them” is a hell of an opinion.
That sounds like an argument for abolishing the fundamental parts of the united states.
It would be very bad thing if every governor and attorney general suddenly became as subject to Republican malfeasance as local mayors in Texas.
Also, there are some federal rules for what counts as special “birth certificates” to efficiently prove that a US citizen asking for a passport was born in the USA. But states don’t have to follow them if they choose, and depending on their reason could presumably go to court to get the federal rule adjusted or discarded.

I’m very relieved to hear it was only water and apple cider vinegar. “Unknown liquid sprayed by an attacker” is just short of actually wounding someone when it comes to anxiety induced.
MN should throw the book at him. And at anyone who helped him do it.
Oh, I know the trick to this!
Refuse to learn anything at all about someone’s actual positions, and just judge them by labels. Castro and Hitler were both bad and called themselves socialists, so Bernie sanders and AOC have to also be bad.
(Or, y’know, we could just judge folk by what they say and do instead of labels…)
We do use sortition for the most direct part of our government in the United States. Juries grand and petite are both populated with a more or less randomly selected group of citizens, then filtered for bias.
This also makes juries the most unpredictable part of government.
The original food pyramid was designed when starvation was a major concern, and so makes sense in that context.
The “my plate” was a fair adjustment that refocused on quality of food in a world of plenty.
I have no idea what a “upside down pyramid” is supposed to be.
The board is dominated by Trump, but not every last member. Key facts:
When George f****ing Washington , inaugural president of the United States, leads troops into battle to assert the rule of law and congress’s ability to impose taxes it kind of sets a precedent.
America’s had a bunch of tax rebellions, though . It’s just that being a functioning democracy let us do it without anyone dying. (Save for two very notable exceptions.)
These chucklefucks have been screeching about civil war since LONG before Obama was elected.

Sex in heaven is really good, but gets boring after awhile.
They couldn’t, but “radical feminism” isn’t explicitly transphobic. Hence the four letter acronym.
I don’t know if right-wing radical feminism in America is necessarily going to be trans-exclusive. Transmedicalist if it isn’t, for sure, but there are plenty of right wing grifters who also happen to be trans women.
The mainstream facist right already have transphobia cornered as a brand, so being trans-inclusive might be key to turning some discontent into a real political movement.
Can I go on the record here as saying this is sexist bullshit?
Scouts letting girls in does not make them somehow not “boy-friendly”. It just lets dads and moms and brothers bring their daughters and sisters to do “boy-things”
“possibly possible” is either redundant or unclear. Try:
“Not Necessarily necessary” is definitely redundant and unclear. Try:
(Unless you’re talking about taking antibiotics for anything but a bacterial infection, in which case “wasteful and dangerous” is better phrasing.)
He had no business being there ANYWAY.
And Congress didn’t “verify” anything. It was a rote formalism with about as much real power regarding the election as the coronation of the king of England.

AI will likely be similar to Asimov’s robot series, but just a bit grittier.
That’s a hell of a lot of words that aren’t either “of course we should vote in every election for the best possible candidate” or “no, we should withhold our votes in the general if the Dems don’t nominate someone sufficiently progressive.”
If you mean the latter, say it. If you don’t, then say that, too.
The “State of the Union annual speech” has been pointless since before anyone living was born.
And yet it still happens, because “rapist who breaks all norms” still does it. (Were I a congressional dem, my pick for next speaker would be whomever pledged to not invite an infamous sex pest to ramble in person.)
