We don’t, enough of the US is gerrymandered as fuck and we use first past the post voting so most of us are voting to get a plurality for the guy other than the one we hate more, and that’s if your even interested in politics here. The whole system is fucked and corrupt.

Edit: oh yea and the electoral college fucks us too.

A lot of that traffic is people googling something and finding the answer on reddit and then getting on with their lives. it will probably be that way for quite a while.

sh.itjust.works user checking in, my experience seems to confirm that theory. I can still see content from beehaw that I’m subscribed to from before they defederated.
