The point is that you don’t know the first thing about American politics,
You couldn’t even comprehend the point being made, misinterpreting it so fundamentally I genuinely - non-ironically - believe you struggled reading the words being written.
and are wholly unqualified to make any comments about it.
And yet, what I wrote is an aspect of democratic structures so fundamentally basic it wouldn’t even matter if the US was the target of the comment. Funny how that is.
Let me hijack your comment mentioning Krita with another KDE app: Okular!
I simply can’t believe a PDF app can be this performant, this fully featured, and entirely free. It even works on Windows, if you’re trapped in that nightmare.
Adobe Acrobat Reader, from the people who created the PDF format, is unbelievably slow, it takes a thousand steps through an ugly UI to do anything useful, and any feature you actually care about is locked behind payment. Okular, a free tool, will load PDFs instantly, render previews flawlessly, let you edit, sign, merge, add text, select text, whatever you wish.
And KDE creates this app and a thousand others for less money than Mozilla wasted on some random bs last year. Long live KDE.
If you honestly think a military junta would be more representative of the American people than Trump, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Good thing I never made such claim and absolutely nothing on my comment reaches that conclusion, then.
Also our president is not elected via majority (or plurality) vote.
The details about your horrendous electoral system are irrelevant to the point, which by now is very clear you didn’t understand.
You’re not doing much to fight the stereotype of americans lacking basic reading comprehension though.
a huge emphasis on giving the people the power to write their own collective destiny.
A functional democracy is not a dictatorship of the majority, and people from the US love making this mistake. It is true that the president gets elected by a majority vote… but this person now represents everyone, including the minority that opposes them. They do not have the right to sink the ship and kill everyone because the majority thinks that’s a good idea.
It is natural that their government will make decisions aligned with their voters (in theory) but they shouldn’t be allowed to actively undermine the rights of everyone else.
No matter how inflated your perception of your “flawless” constitution and democracy is, this is something many countries understand pretty well and yours struggles with.
That’s a whole debate people from the US are not ready for

I’m incredibly grateful to my colleagues and IT department at work for allowing me to use zero Microsoft products.
I don’t use Windows, Office, Teams, Outlook, Bing or anything made by Microsoft at all, both in my personal life as well as work.
Life is great!
They’re correct, but also exaggerating it. If you ask somebody to brew you a cup using a french press, and using the same ground coffee, a batch of a pour over, you’ll notice some oils floating on the french press cup and not the pour over. So indeed, the paper filter will remove lipids from the brew. But are those in a quantity that could “raise cholesterol in some people”? Absolutely not, you’d have to be chugging coffee like a monster and even then, the tablespoon of butter you use in your toast is a much bigger concern.
I love coffee, a lot. I love the smell, the taste, the ritual of making it. Once you’re drinking it a lot, it’s also very hard to cut back because if you do you get those massive headaches and you feel like your brain is foggy.
But suddenly I was feeling angry, irritable, had trouble sleeping and was not following along the material from my master’s research that I used to have no problem reading. So I forced myself to quit caffeine. Ooooooh boy. Turns out drinking a lot of coffee really does mess you up. The first couple of days were terrible, but by the fourth day I was waking up singing with the birds as if I was a Disney princess.
Now I still drink coffee, but only when I wake up and only one cup. No more than that.

Do keep in mind the most left leaning democrat you can think of would be a center-right candidate in my country. It’s unfortunate that indeed you can only work with what you got, but don’t be surprised when others cringe at the thought of calling your democratic party leftist.
