do you think that a half dozen lemmy users are capable of changing the voting system?

there have been some initiatives passed in some states, but thats only half the election. And the people in power benefit from a first past the post voting system, so transitioning out is slow work. It is possible, and it is happening, but there’s not a magic button that says “swap to superior voting method” that a single socialist can press

Only after I had already done that did I realize how sketchy it was, but then it did actually turn out to be legit. Wish i remembered/still had access I remember there being some good stuff on there

those are different groups, the loan providers were in support of loan forgiveness. pause to make sure I know what I’m talking about. Unless your fed loans are serviced by MOHELA, in which case the state of Missouri sued on their behalf
