Maybe it's baked into the platform so there's no point in asking this, but should the site have a voting system like this, or even at all? It feels like it's something carried over from reddit because that's where the sub was, but is it needed here? Between things by sort like Active, downvotes not collapsing posts and not being to see total upvote/karma counts in profiles it seems like there's some leaning away from reddit's system already, towards an emphasis on posts instead of points.

·4 years agoRepublicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!

absolutely legendary political instincts on display, like that time she got so mad about being called Pocahontas she walked the insult the rest of the way by taking a DNA test to unveil the extent of her whiteness

We almost have a bipartisan COVID package, but at the last minute Republicans are making a demand that WAS NEVER MENTIONED AS KEY TO THE NEGOTIATIONS. They want to block the FED from helping the economy under Biden. It’s the reason we don’t have a deal. tweet
lmao, setting everything to fall to the floor the moment Biden walks through the door of the Oval Office
he deleted and followed it up with this just now
Arguing over whether Biden's cabinet picks are progressive misses the point. The point is they are HIGHLY competent and the most diverse cabinet in history (but an Asian American pick is needed). Both of these facts are important. This inspiring team can make REAL progress.

·4 years agoYeah, I agree. Excellent point about the water & treaty. I read this terrifying research article modeling a nuclear exchange between them and the aftermath in 2025 a month ago but it didn't have water issues as a precipitating cause

In the light of historical distance, it's tempting to dismiss the SADM as an aberration born of Cold War hysteria. But the United States still keeps tactical nuclear weapons in Europe, albeit in the form of the less adventurous B61 air-dropped bomb. More frighteningly, other countries are increasingly embracing them as instruments of national defense. Pakistan, for example, reportedly keeps nuclear weapons forward deployed, and authority for their use pre-delegated to troops in the field -- an effort to compensate for India's much larger army. And in a reversal of fortune, now that Russia finds itself in a position of conventional inferiority vis-à-vis NATO, Moscow has elevated the role of tactical nuclear weapons in its strategic doctrine.
In 2018 Trump had an SLBM warhead (W76) variant funded in the military budget, with a 5-7kt yield instead of 90kt (The US has many other low-yield nukes, but those have to be put on bombers which might get shut down by Russian air defenses or whatever, so this one was ordered). I feel like the world is going to sleepwalk into nuclear war - it'll start out somewhere with these "tactical" nuclear weapons and escalate into a full-blown nuclear exchange.
They’re in the chamber. One is up on the dais yelling “Trump won that election!” This is insane
