@DrChrisParry @Keir_Starmer Isn't Ukraine Rent-Boy Gate about to make it to court very shortly? All the sordid facts will soon be out. Tick tick tick

@firasmodad If half of what David Betz asserts comes to be true, this is one of the most depraved derelictions of duty on the altar of misguided virtue signalling to date. A very dangerous game for the state to play. Prudent manager of state funds she is not. @DavidBe31099196

Whatever system you have in place, no matter how you to try and restrict access, those who can vote will vote in their own interest. If you want to live in an oligarchy, don't you expect the oligarchs to vote in their own interests or do you expect altruism from billionaires or other elites? This is technocratic bumf.

@dubyaOK @Rightanglenews They’re doomed to failure over time. For this false assumption (that the average person can capably think like a leader) and many others

BREAKING - Outrage is erupting across Virginia after Abigail Spanberger signed HB965 into law, effectively rendering Virginians’ presidential votes null and void, with the measure handing the states electoral votes to the national popular vote winner regardless of states results.

At its core, all democracies (or "constitutional republics") need to have systems for transferring power peacefully within differing internal factions with all factions agreeing that they system is free, and fair. If one side has a built in advantage over the other this breeds injustice and is corrosive. US politics is riddled with corrosive gerrymandering. This hurts the republic in the long run. State rights are pretty safe in the US. You have a federal system with large amount of powers devolved to states and even to counties. You also have a very powerful senate, which is direct representation of the states at the federal level. Small US states are not really bullied by larger ones, this is a strawman argument. Choosing who leads your federal executive branch should be something all Americans do with equal influence. A voter in Wyoming should not have six times the importance of a Californian. Winner take all electoral college states are denying significant numbers of their voters a voice. That is an injustice. Your election system should not bake in injustice into the process, it should eradicate it. One thing I do agree with, is that farmers and especially multigenerational families have stronger ties to the land than many urban voters. Their voices should not be marginalised. They will love the country the best.

@10DowningStreet @Keir_Starmer Cobblers. You do not care about children's safety, what you care about is censoring information available to voters.

Today @Keir_Starmer met with senior leaders from X, Meta, Snap, YouTube and TikTok. This was his message to them: It’s time to act. There are no free passes. We’re putting children’s safety first.

@bphillipsonMP We took a vote on this and at a minimum it will take another referendum to undo it. You do not have any where near a mandate to bring us back into the EU. Your government and your party will be dust before this happens. Why waist your energy and our taxes on fruitless tasks?

I know parents are worried about social media and its impact on their children’s safety. They rightly expect fast action. Today, I’m calling on senior leaders from X, Meta, Snap, YouTube and TikTok to step up. I will do whatever it takes to keep children safe online.

@cfsports3 @Rightanglenews Charmer. You firmly have a uniparty in place already even with the electoral college, so it does not work as you indicate.

@dubyaOK @Rightanglenews There is an electoral college for a reason. the communists intend to push through with a uniparty - this is why they import low IQ third worlds and hand out White people's tax money to brown people. fuck off.

Isn't part of the problem that many states are winner takes all? Even California has a lot of Republican voters, but they are crushed by the Bay area and LA county creating a super majority. If California had to pro-rata its electoral vote then it will not be a 50 vote slam dunk for the blues time and time again. Voter turn out may surprise you. It was not that long ago California used to elect Republican governors. Reagan was a Californian.

@dubyaOK @Rightanglenews It defeats the equality of the electoral system allowing every state a vote that matters. California and NY alone will win elections for Democrats if we remove the electoral college system. And thats the direction they want to head in.

@pureMetatron Why do they do that? I always hit that button "show less shorts" and they return very shortly. TikTok sucks, don't be TikTok 2.0

I support this message. They should give a setting to opt out of shorts.
Vlogging Through History@VTHistory25

Dear @YouTube I don't want shorts. I don't want to see them, I don't want to watch them. Stop forcing them down my throat. Stop forcing them down my audience's throat. You're killing long-form content creators. Let Tik Tok be Tik Tok and be what you are.

@PhoenixKukini @Rightanglenews To be fair, I think they did a superb job. Not everything remains fit for purpose indefinitely. A tweak or two on this 250 yr old masterpiece and she will be good to go.

As punishment for most do you being politically retarded, I will devote the next week on here to talking about 80s nostalgia and other such topics. You deserve basically nothing else.

Better plan remove half the 80,000 MOD civil servants. Retire half the bloated staff officers (far too many admirals and generals). Increase the reserves, mostly light infantry by at least 30,000. Focus spending on Air defence, drone and anti drones. Use what is left to replace Trident with a home grown system.

@dubyaOK @Rightanglenews The electoral college is the most brilliant voting system ever created. It stops mob control while still giving power to each vote. Simple majority voting allows Hitler to get elected with 37% of the vote. We need a mini electoral college system within each state.
