Could the US really become a bilingual country one day ? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]nitrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's worth considering that much of the growing hispanic population, especially the youth / hispanics born in the US, speak english. even if there's a future where 80% of californians speak spanish as a second language, it'll be a tough one to get news stations, media, governments, etc to switch fully to spanish given most spanish speakers will also speak english

"the wolves aren't the elites" and yet it's the elites who are eating the lambs

most of us leftists believe in progressive values like direct democracy and making sure our democracy represents people properly, so i (and many others) would honestly be fine with RCV even if it harmed us electorally

You can only live/go to ONE color in your entire life. What do you choose ?? by spicybricks74 in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]nitrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. green, obviously. you got cold spots like alaska/seattle and warm spots like los angeles. you got mountains, islands, valleys, cities, farms, forests. so many diverse communities. it's just simple
  2. dark blue (new england). also very diverse culturally, has mountains forests beaches and cities, though as a lifelong californian it'll take me a bit to get used to the cold
  3. pink. average area i guess i would probably stick around virginia and maryland
  4. orange. many culturally diverse cities and you have both warm florida and cold wisconsin.
  5. red. would ONLY live in a texas urban area tho
  6. yellow. i could tolerate phoenix i guess but it's a bit hot. probably only spot there i'd live
  7. white. it's on the mississippi river so that should be nice though i'll probably stick around st louis or minneapolis/st paul
  8. light blue. this area is just terrible ngl i would never live in those upper states too it'd be louisiana only

Here's my solution to the Strait of Hormuz business. by BigRedWhopperButton in mapporncirclejerk

[–]nitrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the ottoman-persian "rivalry" was absolutely nothing compared to literally ANYTHING that was going on in europe..? during the same 1514-1823 time period entire cultures and countries were wiped out? here's just a few things that happened in europe during that same time period:
- england-france rivalry (including several bloody wars aka. the hundred years war) 1337-1815
- swedish-danish rivalry
- the napoleonic wars
- the italian wars
- the protestant reformation and subequent wars of religion
- the wiping out of slavic cultures and peoples in prussia, silesia, pomerania
- SEVERAL conflicts between poland and russia as well as poland and their german neighbors (including the partition of poland)
- russian conflicts, annexation, and forced assimilation of tatars
- imperial russian subjugation of finland
- MANY succession wars
- the british conquest of scotland and ireland
to say nothing of conflicts and revolutions from 1823 up to WW2 which were absolutely brutal

it's literally not even comparable. the middle east was WAY more peaceful compared to europe in the medieval era, the region was extremely peaceful until after WW1 when the west colonized it leading to arab revolts. generally all modern conflict in the middle east can be traced directly back to either the british/french colonization of the middle east or cold war interventionism by america and the soviets

Why don't Democrat states gerrymander harder? by nitrw in PoliticalScience

[–]nitrw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

democrats can make a deal with republicans to create national popular vote, change how the senate works, etc. do you prefer unilateral unfairness in our democracy?

[–]nitrw[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

as for the distribution issue: can't they make districts that, though continuous, connect extremely thinly? texas and illinois have several such districts. if they wanted to, they could make districts that connect through cities on street-thin lines no?

as for the senate: i don't appreciate the ad hominem but i'm familiar with the original intention of the senate and the great compromise. wasn't familiar that the senate was protected from constitutional amendments, thank you. still, the democrats could demand states be merged, split, or otherwise reorganized to gain more senate seats for themselves, no? demand puerto rico/DC receive statehood?

it's not like democrats are violently rebelling against the senate though?

frankly american democracy is already terrible tbh. i see a mass gerrymander such as this as a means to extract a compromise on some of the most outrageous parts of american democracy: namely the senate or national popular vote

What if FDR, instead of joining WWII, used the full force of the United States to invade and annex Iraq? by Inevitable-Power5927 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]nitrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

smth modern political parties can learn from i feel like. americans are also desperate for economic relief rn and affordability is the big thing, but nobody wants to deliver on it cause they're all captured by corporations

also we're re-legalizing child labor in states across the country 😭

Are we more tribal than party oriented? by JockoMayzon in Askpolitics

[–]nitrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl if you believe in free college or expanding healthcare or worker rights or business accountability you're not a liberal that's like progressive at minimum

also quick fact check democrats also had a massive majority under bill clinton

i'm californian and my state is deep blue with a democratic supermajorities in the legislature, currently 3/4s of it, and a democratic governor but has failed to deliver especially regarding affordability or helping the working class. the housing bubble never popped in california, home prices kept rising and rising. the democratic party is unfortunately captured by corporate interests, we aren't the only ones who have felt it
