One party is trying to do that and replace it with an authoritarian oligarchy, the other is trying to maintain a democracy and often improve how representative it is.
Because our first-past-the-post presidential system makes it so that it is exceptionally unlikely that any one not affiliated with the 2 largest parties can get any level of support at the federal level.
If we had a semi-parliamentary system where power was vested in the group that had the most votes in the assembly, you could see more jockeying for third parties at lower levels that still caucuses with one of the two primary parties. But as long as we have separate branches and a system where you have to get 50%+1 vote, we will only ever have 2 parties.
The Murderbot series (at this point) doesn’t have any of them locked away in collections. They are all available for sale (at least in digital versions) right next to the others.
Erm, well, since It’s actually originally Latin, The actual acronym stands for Requiescat in Pies. 🎩
$5 says some fact checking site says it’s a lie because Trump himself didn’t sign legislation, he just put the judges on the court.
I’m working picking up where I left if with the books of the Murderbot Diaries by Margaret Wells. I read the short story Compulsory a couple nights ago, and Rogue Protocol last night. I figure I can get Exit Strategy, Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory, and Network Effect for sure done by this time next week.
Having most of the early works in the series being Novellas or occasionally short stories really makes it fly.
We can remember it for you wholesale.
I made a cassoulet last year for the first time last year and I was also impressed with how easy it was and delicious for the minimal effort.
I work in a High School media center. This book is almost always in someone's hands and they rush to get the second once it's done. Yes it's YA, but it even holds up pretty well for older readers.
This Novella punches way above its weight in terms of depth, it's on the list of books I wish I could read for the 1st time again.
One of my goals last year was to read less western European based fantasy and this was one of the ones I picked up. It's a good transition piece, it's got more of a Polish feeling than British, while still being wizards in towers. Naomi Novik is a fantastic author and all of her stuff is super solid.
You’re not wrong, the problem is that the binary division was created when the initial constitution was written. And we have to function within the structure of the system as it exists now in order to improve it.
The system today suffers from a bunch of ideological debt over decades and centuries and there is a significant faction that likes that debt just the way it is because it benefits them.
