@papichulocinema I think that Nomadland having almost completely fallen out of the cultural consciousness ex-facto proves that it was a bad choice to win that year. Unfortunately it might have been the actual best picture out of the nominees
@Lux_R_Spiral_II I like the Georgia flag because it’s the only flag that has the Betsy Ross circle of 13 stars. It’s a crying shame more of the OG states don’t have it
@DeptfordWife1@st_noah_of_arc Spoken like someone who’s never been to either. North Dakota’s economy is way more focused on oil extraction and South Dakota has a significant Native population who’s struggles with their land there are politically present in a way they’re not in ND
@lordemsworthtou@jakefromgeorgia No, even worse. A Harris dead-ender. I can’t believe they’re still around, it’s like refinding a species that everyone thought was extinct
@st_noah_of_arc The whole notion of popular primaries came about because the state parties were so notoriously corrupt, self-serving, and beholden to varying interests that a popular election was an unambiguous improvement in most cases
@st_noah_of_arc It’s because the US is a country of 350 million people and 50 distinct geographical regions all with their own unique politics. The state parties voters are more in tune with the desires of their state than unelected party bigwigs in DC.
