Women's computer camp in the wealthiest corner of the capital.

Western armed warlords across the rural bulk of the nation.

Wagging my finger at the Taliban for hating women because my warlords are losing.

Women rights are still better in India compared to Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Heavily dependent on class, region, and ethnicity. Brahman women are better off. Muslim untouchables are still fucked.

WTYP doesn't even gate their premium episodes as far as I can tell. But I'll still keep sending them $2

The one that has the elections and the candidates running popular campaigns and the people lining up in droves to participate.

America was NEVER a democracy

Eh. It had a few moments.

Window dressing has changed over the years, but the fundamentals remain.

The fundamental structure of democracy still exists. I believe it is the people who are ultimately too alienated and terrified of one another to properly utilize it.

I think its worth noting that he's hardly unbeatable. This is far less "Donald wriggling his way out" and far more "institutions just kinda falling on their face and letting him saunter past". But when states are stripping him from the ballot? IDFK. Unless a higher court puts him back on the ballot again, this sets up a very sharp conflict between the national party leadership (which wants Hailey at the top of the ticket in 2024) and the schlub voters (who are ride-or-die for Trump).

It looks like some subset of the bureaucracy has found its spine and is actually using real governmental powers to put hurdles in front of President Cheeto that he can't flounder his way past. American wasn't much of a democracy before now, so who gives a shit if its even less of a democracy during the next primary season? If a few big states like California and New York and Pennsylvania and Michigan yank him, this sets up a possible contested convention and a bunch of extremely angry delegates.

Trump getting removed from a smattering of ballots and setting of a brawl on the RNC convention floor as "alternate delegates" from these states attempt to vote for Donald Trump in defiance of the party will actually be fucking hilarious and very cool.

Learn this one neat trick to decouple yourself from the hated English post-colonial dregs.

Australians hate it.

This guy sat in traffic during rush hour one time and decided he could do a Bigger Than 9-11 by spilling some dirt onto I-45

I'd say this is a real shot across the bow for Australia, as it signals decoupling from the coal economy.
