Subbed! Would love prop rep here so we can get out of this 8 year pendulum hell.

I was kinda surprised I hadn't subscribed yet. I'd seen posts from here quite a few times.

[–] AlolanVulpix 3 points 1 week ago

Imagine if you hadn't checked!

If I (a US citizen) subscribe for this challenge, does that count as foreign election interference?

[–] AlolanVulpix 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, that would be foreign election interference. However, it would be justifiable in a free and democratic society.

[–] AlolanVulpix 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not yet, but with consistent political pressure, we will get proportional representation!

Well, keep it up! You deserve proper representation!

[–] Sunshine 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Awesome little community event you got started!

Time to post a meme to get $20 out of you ;)

[–] AlolanVulpix 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Memes tend to get more attention than articles!

[–] Sunshine 3 points 1 week ago

That’s true as they’re funny and easy to understand.

[–] AlolanVulpix 2 points 1 week ago

Specific breakdown of subscribers: 238 non-local + 252 local = 490 total subscribers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Subscribed!

Multiple accounts created by the same person will count as only one subscription

How will this be enforced?

[–] AlolanVulpix 1 points 1 week ago

In a manner as Canadian, as possible given the current situation.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Im not sorry, but doesn't this sound like a scam?

[–] AlolanVulpix 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Lol have you seen my posting history?

Edit: while yes, it could be a scam. But for what purpose? If I am lying, then all those people who subscribed got duped into subscribing to a proportional representation community? That's not a big harm.

But I'm not lying, and will stay true to the post.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wow you really commented back sounding even more scammy.

[–] AlolanVulpix 3 points 1 week ago

I guess you caught me, it is a big scam /s

[–] Sunshine 3 points 1 week ago
