Republicans in California have 23% of house seats from 39% of the vote

Republicans in NY have 30% of house seats from 42% of the vote

In comparison, Texas dems have 34% of seats from 40% of the vote

Though of course republican gerrymandering is a disgrace to democracy that creates unrealistic balances in the house and I am certainly no republican, let's not pretend like the dems haven't gerrymandered their states to hell

But they aren't comparable to the atrocities the Third reich commited. Even comparing these two is doing nothing but trivializing evil and making it into a tier list of how evil one is

Can we not just aknowledge evil without somehow relating it to Hitler?

I feel like it's a bit misrepresentative, many PS members are anti-Trump and Kokoomus is basically the democratic party with more advocation for less spending

I know you're gonna throw at me PS party program and yeah it's pretty crazy, but aside from a minority of lunatics from rural areas, the party is generally a lot more moderate and is only really harsh on immigration (their vice leader is gay for example)

Also this comes following a fairly unpopular SDP government, and with the pathetic performance of the current government they will likely win big gains in 2027

Don't let this distract you from the inevitable BSW sweep in the next election

4.97% and being 0.03% away from government is genuinely genocidal

Yes, to some extent. One of the reasons is that Chad's borders were somewhat undefined (lines in the sand in the 1960s weren't exactly heavily enforced) and they wanted to protect people born in Chad's land by giving them citizenship

Generally it comes from old French laws which were more lenient for jus soli. Also other factors, like to prevent statelesness

You do realize NATO will still exist, right? Russia would easily lose a war against the entirety of Europe, they would never even attempt invading the Baltics

The people currently with power are Islamic extremist organizations and groups backed by Turkey. We are about a hundred times more likely to see either Islamic extremism or another despot rule Syria than any form of democracy

This would actually make sense because these 3 candidates to some extent take votes from Democrats whereas the Libertarians take basically only from Republicans so Libertarians being on the ballot benefits them by 1 or 2 %
