@gameragodzilla It's made many Remain voters now indifferent or supportive of Leave now, with Brexit, and while I'm not American so my opinion doesn't matter, before where I previously didn't like Trump OR Clinton, the way Trump's been handling the protests (and the actions of the protestors) have made me sympathetic to him. I was saying to Katie yesterday that it's… -

@gameragodzilla The problem here is when democracy is subverted, such as what we found out regarding Bernie Sanders' nomination run. I'm not a fan of Sanders at all really, but I am sympathetic to how corrupt things were to push him down. At the same time, he probably could have made quite a run as an independent and didn't, so he shares some blame there also. … -

@gameragodzilla I know who you mean, and no they were not. None of the people saying that were.
Some of them are members of other EU countries angry and essentially trying to bully Leave voters into abandoning their position. Fuck bullies.
But most of them are just "me too" reactionary extremists who see nothing wrong with being shit to other people as long as they gain social standing by doing so. -

@gameragodzilla @moonman Putting the nation's needs above your own is the number one thing voters need to do more of that most Americans simply do not. To quote Spock: "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few." A smart or simply just perceptive political activist recognises that any politics is a game of compromises and transactions anyways. You're a… -

@takeshitakenji @moonman Use Artemis instead of Apollo, for the most part, heh. I didn't have any trouble rolling it on a CentOS minimal install with a basic LNMP stack as long as I grabbed dependencies. Not sure what you're rolling distro-wise though. -

@gameragodzilla I mean hell as you know, Katie and I don't agree on that topic, but you don't see me calling her the kind of shit foreigners call me for being a dirty Leave voter. (And indeed, seeing the way that many have treated me since that result has had Katie much more sympathetic to my views, as she's herself said) -

@gameragodzilla @moonman You voted on a principle (choosing a bad leader over a corrupt one) - which is something I can respect, as much as I lament how I wish you had better choices.
The percentage vote for Johnson might not seem significant, but I *think* that's the biggest number an independent's ever got, so that's also a notable takeaway and indicator of how fed up people are, as well. -

@gameragodzilla I can talk with countrymen (and women) I disagree with on Brexit and have very high-minded and intricate discussions of the various political issues that surround the matter, because those people are educated enough on the issue and how it's affected us at home that they can make that kind of naunced and well-thought-out arguement. I think a lot of t… -

@moonman @gameragodzilla It's basically the next step up. "Okay, we can't have direct democracy, so what we'll do is have a consensus from each group (state) and we vote for president based on that" As an underlying concept, that's fine. The real problem is that americans that do vote are voting just based on the perception of which is going to win, at least the… -

@moonman @gameragodzilla Direct democracy is the best, ideal governance out there. The problem is logistics and the security thereof. Maybe in 100 years when we can instantly transmit thoughts or whatever shit, it will be feasible, right now, it isn't. The Electoral College isn't great either, but I actually think it would be 100% fine if the US broke the super… -

@takeshitakenji Atremis is what @moonman and I are familiar with so probably what we could best help you with if you run into problems which seems likely to happen. -

@gameragodzilla @moonman I bet they haven't even LOOKED at those numbers.
They were still close though. Less than .1% difference between them.
What they'd ACTUALLY have to do is appeal to undecided voters. -

@moonman @gameragodzilla Clinton wasn't even within polling error of winning that, but they haven't looked that closely at things I think.
There was less than standard polling error's difference in that divide. -

@moonman They're basically doubling as Trump propoganda.
