The US system is a source a bewilderment to the rest of us.
Sorry, we accidentally released a beta democracy into production.
Planned changes include:
- bugfix: remove unneeded electoral college (slows progress down)
- bugfix: replace current hard-set limit on House with dynamic value that grows with population
- feat: add protection for voting rights to system firmware/constitution (current piecemeal legislative approach is difficult to optimize)
- bugfix: set polling location availability by population density, not population wealth
- feat: implement ranked-choice election system (deprecates first-past-the-post)
- feat: implement consequences for criminal actions taken by people who are white and conservative
Unfortunately, these changes are not yet available, but these and more will become possible to implement if we fucking vote like our country depends on it at every level.
There also seems to be open security vulnerabilities, which could potentially make it possible for a malicious actor to take control of the entire system. Consider implementing some safeguards against that.
Known issues: sometimes race conditions can cause instability in the system
And to us in the US.
The headline reads like satire.
It’s not satire.
Lmfao, he’s running as a Democrat. He’s going to get crucified by liberals.
John apparently didn’t read the conservative memo - crooks, criminals, rapists, pedos, and murderers are supposed to run as a Republican. They love that sort of “quality” candidate - he may have actually had a shot over there.
You apparently don’t know much about Chicago Democrats. They’re buddy-buddy with the CPD. The article even mentions that soon-to-be Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot let this guy off the hook in a disciplinary case in a former position she held. This guy will do just fine if he wins the election. Hopefully, reporting on him and his crimes will prevent that, but he won’t be stopped by Chicago Dems.
I’m from Chicago. It’s a great city in many respects, but its quite racist and the CPD is notoriously so. One of the worst police forces in any major U.S. city.
I didn’t realize Chicago Dems were that bad. That really sucks. Is it just the people in power or the voting populace as well?
Can’t speak for the voting populace. Chicago politics are a freakin’ travesty and have been for as long as I’ve been alive. It’s a Blue city and pretty decent on many other political issues, but the PD is ridiculously corrupt and racist, and they’ve had their fingers on political levers for ages.
They never closed that “black-site” in Chicago, did they?
I fucking hope they did. I haven’t lived in Chicago for years, but I balked when I read about that. What a fucking disgrace. This is why I never liked Lori Lightfoot. I don’t know how you can be a Black politician in Chicago and go light on the CPD over a fucking secret prison. Total garbage.
ACAB all the way. Please don’t let him near the bench.
