  • We actually VERY briefly had tripartism in the US, too. Unsurprisingly it was immediately attacked and dismantled.

  • No, I'm extremely heavily laden with debt and barely getting by in one of the most expensive areas of the country, but good try. I get that the CPI isn't perfect, but there is literally no data from any source indicating that we have experienced 400% price increases, generally speaking, in the last 10 years. You're just going on vibes, selective memory, and anecdotes and you're giving ammunition to fascists who try to discredit us by pointing to people like you and saying "see? These people have no tether to reality. Look at any actual statistics and you'll see they're wrong." People like you make us look bad and made uninformed people incorrectly believe that both sides of the political divide are lying and living in their own delusional reality. Do better.

  • It's not a little bit of hyperbole, I literally linked to a calculator that uses the Consumer Price Index. OP's claim isn't even vaguely in the realm of the actual consumer price increase.

  • No, instead let's base our economic reality on pure vibes and the most extreme, specific examples we can personally remember 🙄

  • The cost of bread, toilet paper, and restaurant meals for the average American may have increased significantly more than $5 -> $6.85, but I promise it hasn't literally quadrupled. Things are unacceptably bad but this isn't Turkey yet. Do you have any indication that for the average American the average purchased good has quadrupled in ten years? The responses here are almost as unhinged as the takes over in MAGA world. This is insane.

  • YSK that if US housing and population projections hold, the Electoral College map will change after the 2030 census.

  • That's true, although there are a good number of purple metro areas in red states. That's where I moved and it's maybe not as effective as moving to the middle of nowhere, but it's a hell of a lot better than casting another blue vote in the deep blue area I was raised in.
