This is what happens when people overcome the constant propaganda of "a vote for a third party is a wasted vote" and "we need to vote for the second worst option because it's better than the worst", and instead come together to vote for a candidate they actually want 🗳️
Hope other states and democracies around the world, especially those stuck in the rut of a two-party system, can learn from this 💡
(I don't know how good TVK's governance will turn out to be and how good a job they can do, but the point is that they, a new party with no prior electoral history, are being given a chance over more established rivals. This itself is, I think, a positively development for democracy)

@ChrisHolladay @Nonilex and it wasn't even much of a play! Iran had made it pretty clear that Dr. Araghchi's visit was part of a three-nation tour and nothing to do with the US of A

@Haste makes a lot of sense! And I think this is a good place for reporters too, but not reporters as *reporters* but reporters as *people* if you know what I mean. Just the same way people from any other profession is welcome
Leave the promotion behind on the other places where it (as fate would have it belongs) and come here when you want to engage with people

@benroyce haha yes, I was going to remark on that, although I'm familiar enough with US politics to guess it was meant to be seen with the colours (and image) "reversed" as it were 🙃

@amyworrall@mastodon.social @amanda@social.spejset.org @nicklockwood@mastodon.social it's especially annoying if it's in answer to a question I asked expecting that person's informed opinion. If I wanted an LLM-generated response, I'd have generated it myself
(Or not, because I don't use LLMs or let the reverse happen, but that's besides the point...)

@aeleoglyphic I was going to ask which word you meant. I supposed it's "concern troll" but "doubt caltrops" and "concern anchors" are awesome bonus terms too!! 👌
