minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up60arrow-down1·1 year agoWhat makes you think they didn’t? 75 million people voted for Harris. We likely won’t know the count of today’s protests, but I feel safe saying it was far fewer than 75 million.
minus-squareBilliam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 year agoThe estimate was 5 million people across 1300 cities. A lot of people complaining about these protests seem to think that level of coordinated protesting isn’t impressive. Those numbers alone should make anyone stop and think about what’s going on.

minus-squaretechnocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoThere is no such thing as a good “representative” system.

minus-squareChrispyswords@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoLet’s not forget that there are more than two choices. I understand there is certainly a duopoly, but that only continues as long as we continue voting for only one or the other.

What makes you think they didn’t?
