The difference between USA and the other countries with shorter election seasons is voting for a person to lead versus representatives who will elect their leader. Just look at off presidential elections to get an idea of a USA shortened election season. So, parliamentary governments have the citizens elect their equivalent of house and senate members; who then vote in their “president”. Good old US of A likes a cage match for the top spot, so you get the contestants parading around forever.
Recently, Reddit announced that they may be discontinuing awards/coins on September 12. However I'm skeptical and I think this may be just a deceptive announcement for them to make a quick buck from awards/coins. What are your opinions on this?
Not a rumor, just they announced it. Cash for high profile posts. Kinda like Elon paying all that cash to human rights trafficker, rapist, and all around disgusting human Andrew Tate, for bringing in advertising revenue one day before announcing that they have lost over 50% of advertisers on their platform.
He is not a real candidate. He is a tool of the alt-right to act as a “democratic” presidential candidate to sow mistrust. He is literally funded by the people who fund various campaigns to screw with the American people and advance fascism.

Since taking office, DeSantis has given away $2 billion of taxpayer money in industry bailouts, while taking in $3.9 million in campaign donations from those same insurers. In addition, the governor has stripped Floridians of their ability to sue insurance giants who wrongfully deny claims by removing their ability to recover legal fees. Meanwhile, rate hikes, rubber stamped by the state, have nearly doubled average insurance costs, with homeowners now paying nearly three times the national average.
I like to tell everyone outside of FL about my insurance cost increases. When I purchased my home in 2017, $990 was the price tag for very good insurance on my home. Today, my insurance is $4200, and it also had a “roof exclusion,” until I recently replaced the roof to the tune of $10k.
I really want to get out of here but I am not sure where I would want to go. I always just assumed that one day my career would force me to move. Well, most of the good positions within my career field are fully remote now, so I don’t expect that I’ll ever be forced to move somewhere either.
