We also use “they” singular if we don’t know the gender of a person, like when we haven’t met them yet.

In that sense it was a very logical choice for non-binary people in my opinion.

I thought you was the more respectful form of thou in singular, and “ye” was the plural form of that. In Ireland you still hear ye used for plural you sometimes.

By more respectful i mean similar to usted in Spanish or vous in French

Weddings are overrated anyway. I’m happy to be poly 😁

Who would be a suitable younger Bernie replacement?

But how would they go about it? The system is so entrenched. Anything socialist is considered ‘commie’ and anti-american, a sentiment carefully cultivated since WWII. The two party system that relies on huge donations means the oligarchy has a huge input in politics no matter which party wins. The only thing that’s being decided is which oligarchs will rule.

There’s just no way to turn this around until things get bad enough that they can’t hold the floodgates anymore. America is (fortunately for the little man who would suffer the most) still far from that.

A truck maybe. Most SUVs are just big chunky road cars.

The problem here is having only two choices.

Where I’m from we have coalition governments. It’s very rare for one party to have a majority. So they have to argue for months and come to some kind of agreement with other parties. The good thing is that everyone can vote for what they really want. There’s not really any ‘lost votes’. The bad thing is that the coalition forming process is messy and slow and the result is much watered down. But I’d much rather have this than a two party system.

If I had been a US citizen I’d have voted for Harris though.
