In one of our signal chats, a neighbor calls these “fuckaroundabouts”
Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

also fighting the moderates like you who more interested in polite

The fact that a thousand of the most annoying idiots on the

odd. She did significantly more campaign events with AOC. Her

feasibility or likelihood w/r/t viability of 3rd parties winning in a fptp system notwithstanding, more than 2 available options = not binary.
sorting past presidential winners by party affiliation might result in a *bimodal* distribution, but that doesn't reduce voters' options to a binary choice.

a binary is a set limited to 2. add a 3rd thing (or more) to the set & it ain't binary anymore.
the set of options for voters in 2024's presidential race—inclusive of 3rd party candidates, 'none of the above' & 'not voting'—was more than 2.
maybe you should learn what a binary is?
