Did the person who named the station know, or did they not research the name they ended up choosing? Its been declassified, it's on Wikipedia. It strikes me as anywhere from unlikely to unresponsible that the guy didn't research what he intended to use for a name.

I dont think I could dislike the name any more than I do.

Radio Free Asia is a CIA front for info dissemination so anyone who's aware of that would rightfully be skeptical of 'Radio Free ______'

Ill put it like this, im serious enough about it that this is as much of it I'd ever say on the internet.

That would make more sense if this was their first time putting this bill forward, but it's not. They've tried this before and none of the other Democrats could be chuffed to stand behind it. This isn't new.

Short of lighting myself on fire how does someone without any disposable income to speak of help stop this? Ive been writing my reps since the violent 'evictions' in sheikh jarrah, but they do nothing but give me boiler plate responses and their voting records show they still support carte blanche for the IDF. Almost on four years now and we just let them do more and more genocide. What kind of democracy doesn't allow their voters to change their states direction on genocide?

I bet dems would be more open to ranked choice if more people voted for third parties, because as long as the population believes they must vote Democrat or Republican and no one else, neither of those parties have any incentive to change. If lesser evilism stops getting people to vote for the two ruling parties, then there would be incentive for them to change. Short of that you're relying on politicians to do the right thing instead of the profitable thing, which is a fools game.

So three of the more than 250 elected democrats are trying, not for the first time by the way, to get the rest of their party to take it seriously. Talk to me when more than 2% of the Democrats do something about it because otherwise its basically just a platitude.

Honestly is someone paying instances to keep this bot around or something?

You think that's gonna be eaiser to fix by chasing out tourists and losing income your city is going to try an regain elsewhere (that means from you), or by reigning in the real estate market and shit like air bnb? I promise you the people raising your rent aren't tourists.

1/3rd of Spaniards: Man wouldn't it be nice to pay higher taxes so that we don't have to exist with so many people who have a different culture than us?
