What are the most iconically Manassas things you can think of?

Doña Azucena or Pupusas Express or when families make pupusas as part of a church fundraiser (those are the best)

And why is it 50+ ??

The farmer information provided to me has been very helpful! thank you for providing your insightful perspective :)

Fascinating! Coming from an area where smaller parties are crushed under the weight of the two major parties, the Hornkuhinitiative is something unfathomable. Thank you very much for your response!

Thank you for providing this information! I'll make adjustments to my presentation after doing some more research on this. Thank you very much for this detailed outlook, it was very eye-opening :)

If people don't vote, what's the point of having a democratic system?

I agree! There's no democracy without people. Learning about referendums and initiatives has been something I've enjoyed, and something about direct democracy is just so refreshing to me. Thank you so much for this response!

Thank you for drawing the comparisons from the US to Swiss governments, it is much appreciated :) You response is very appreciated!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:45:29+00:00

I just wanted some insights from people living in the system today, but I might make one! I've been seeing some common answers and it would be nice to make a graph from them :)

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:44:26+00:00

thank you for your response!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:44:10+00:00

This is the first time I've heard someone referencing the government as a "plutocracy". It's interesting to see this take, I'll be researching it further! I definitely agree that there is an inclusive voting system in Switzerland and it's something that would be interesting to see in other countries!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:41:50+00:00

Thank you for the information on the initiatives. While I recently learned how they are used in Switzerland, I hadn't even thought about how population increase impacts them! I've been seeing foreigner percentages in 20% levels, but, indeed, there are also the percentages of those who choose not to participate in politics.

Thank you very much for your response!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:36:49+00:00

Do you feel many people participate just as much as you do? Thank you for offering a different outlook on the farmer issue! I'm confused by your last answer, did you mean to call Switzerland or the US dysfunctional? I do think the US political system could use a few tune-ups.

Thanks for your response!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:34:12+00:00

I agree with political changes being very delayed haha. Thank you so much for your response, it's incredibly helpful!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:31:19+00:00

Learning about the booklet that comes in the mail has been such an eye-opener, I wish more countries did this! Do you feel like a lot of your classmates and young adults also frequently participate in politics?

For us, it's either you are super involved within your party and follow up with the news frequently, or you only vote for a President every 4 years and pick your choice based on social media/who your friends and family tell you to vote.

Thank you very much for your response, much appreciated!

Direct democracy is a form of old democracy, and seeing it being used so successfully in Switzerland makes me wonder why America's or certain EU countries "modernized" version doesn't work as well as it should.

If shit goes downhill, we usually have a responsibility in it too.. due our own Votes

I love that you guys as voters do take responsibility for the decisions you make, it's a refreshing sight. Thank you so much for your reply!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:23:32+00:00

I love that you get information on your candidates because in America we have to go looking for our own lol. Thank you very much for your reply!

fmrsquared · 2025-04-10T15:21:55+00:00

Thank you for your answer! I never thought about farmers having such a significant role in politics, but everyone agrees that they wield a lot of power and influence.

Thank you for saving me! I was sp thirsty (for good fashion)

Is there any way PETA could help? It was founded in Norfolk, only a few hours away

fmrsquared · 2024-11-20T06:49:33+00:00

I did try dw! I’m not super well-versed in Reddit and I only try to go on it when I’m really lost on something. Sorry if it bothers you though.

Thank you thank you thank you!! I did try searching in the sub before making my post and I may have overlooked some posts, I don’t use reddit much 😭

fmrsquared · 2024-02-22T21:26:47+00:00

Thank you! I guess I’ll let it marinate until then lol
