The poster is talking about “corrupt media” right? Yet the bolded text is exactly what trump has done. Either the poster is using sarcasm to make a point (well done) or the poster actually believes they are making a factual statement (god help us all).

Comments like the ones you’ve been posted are why I can’t get enough of that site. It’s fascinating and terrifying at the same time

You're right though, it's a huge leap into that rabbit hole.

After spending the morning in there, I can't believe how stupid 1/2 the population is. Wow.

Isn't it amazing how little understanding of reality there is in there?

At first you think they're joking and then you start feeling uncomfortable. The level of wilful ignorance is stunning and not in a funny way.

Come on, P Gem, it's not my bag either. HockeyBuzz is my foray into social media and all I do is chase people away.

The Green's end up with about 1/8th or 12.5% of popular vote, but only get 2 seats.
Imo, this is something I feel has always been wrong with our political system and has been an issue for decades.
This system worked fine back in the 2 party system, many decades ago, but it isn't representative of the people anymore.
No, I am not a Green party supporter, I like to see a more fair system, to maintain and encourage democracy.

I'm with you but a majority of the province voted against anything beyond the current system in a referendum a year or 2 ago.

That system was designed pretty hokey, I am sure we could come up with a better system than that.

If I remember correctly, we were given multiple options for proportional representation but people are afraid of change.
I would love to eliminate political parties all together but that is NuckFU fantasy land.

Ya, now that you have mentioned it, I think it was a few poor options to choose from.
Eliminating the party system although on NuckFU levels, might work, but could lead to popularity contests instead of "meritocracy".

there are so many things i took for granted before Covid hit. These prelimary results sound very very promising. I am looking forward to 2021 and hopefully a mass rollout of a proven vaccine

The threshold identification of Ballots is turning out to be even bigger than originally anticipated. A very large number of Ballots are impacted. Stay tuned!

Would you expect anything less? His administration has been nothing more than a series of conspiracy theories and divisiveness.

Looked it up and the term “identification threshold” is used to describe acceptable levels of impurities found in pharmaceuticals. So, in reality, it’s just more incoherent ramblings of a man drowning in his own stupidity. Not to worry.

Trump is gonna come back and win one of these States making things very interesting. After the Democracts 200 plus lawsuits before the election to cultivate votes by allowing past due date votes, non verified signature votes, etc. etc.

Things are gonna get more entertaining as this goes further along
