Yep, vote however you want, I don't care, just go and vote.

So it doesn't affect me at all but may I ask why you wouldn't decide to vote for an independent, or the republican party.

Really you should vote for whomever most closely aligns with your governing preferences. Ultimately if you dislike the platform of every party, then it should be a decision about which most closely aligns with what you're looking for.

If you were deciding what to eat it doesn't really matter if you don't like the options, eventually you have to choose something or someone else will choose for you.

Again I'm not endorsing any party or platform, I don't care about how you choose to cast your vote. I just think that everyone should vote, even if it doesn't align with my preferences or voting choices, which again I'm not saying I endorse any party specifically.

The public selects the representation every few years, the public votes them out that's a form of being held accountable. If people ignore their right to vote then that can let people abuse their positions or cause people to pander only to people who actually vote since those are the people keeping them in. D

Respectfully, I think you're misunderstanding my comments. It's anyone's right to hate how or who anyone else voted for. But not voting at all and getting upset with the outcome is your own fault.

Any person should be encouraging every other person that they know to exercise their right to select an official. Ignoring that right because you feel it's futile or because your super sure what you want will happen is a breakdown in democracy.

I don't really care who or how anyone votes but they all should be doing it.

Regardless of how you feel about the candidates the important thing is to actually vote. Going around and saying "well they both suck" doesn't help anyone.

Not voting then getting the greater of two evils from your perspective is your own fault.

Always vote, even if the news or anyone else tells you the candidate you want is a sure thing, vote even if the candidate you don't want seems like a shoe-in.

I think there's an important distinction as to which meal, a lazy breakfast is a raw bagel, a lazy lunch is bread and deli meat (or microwaved single meal), dinner is frozen pizza or some rice and meatballs

The option to install any extension has always been possible it's just a tad more work to get setup.

I did this ages ago, I just add the extensions I want to the list and then they appear to let me install them

I feel like hourly with a fixed sale bonus would be fine for buyers.

$50/h at the location (maybe a travel fee for places far away from their normal location), and $5000 for a successfully closed deal. All buyer paid, that would mean that the realtor gets paid for work done, and but the closing bonus means that they don't have as much of an incentive to keep taking the customers to crappy places to keep the hourly going.

Selling Realtors should really negotiate a fixed figure and a bonus that goes down the longer it takes to sell, this could encourage them to suggest lower prices on homes I guess, but it's ultimately the owners decision to pick a price and the Realtors choice if it's worth the effort to sell at that price

You pay property tax because of the services that are provided to you by the municipality. Garbage collection, streets, parks, schools, libraries, public services, social programs, public events, etc.

While I understand the idea your going for here the intent of those taxes aren't the same and the businesses that they are interested in would pay some form of tax (probably?).

I think something like a gross wealth tax, 10% of all wealth a year over over something like the poverty line * 100 in total assets

This doesn't make a lot of sense in context, sure Texas has twice the land of Germany, but Germany has 2.5 times the population of Texas.

Though I agree Texas is likely not representative of all the USA.

Technically everything is a Fuse if you use enough current. Since it wouldn't be resettable
