That probably varies based on local culture. But I’ve never lived anywhere that it’s not the norm that unless otherwise stated in the invitation, the host is paying for the party.

politics @lemmy.world•Poll: Voters who say economic and political systems are stacked against them tie a record highEnglish
4·2 days agoall the other things I said were to ensure that you have every capacity to vote how you truly prefer rather than being dictated to select one of a small group. If you currently don’t vote as a protest against the candidates, voting for “none of the above” accomplishes that while taking away the interpretation that you didn’t vote because you don’t care.

5·2 days agoMake registration automatic and voting mandatory. Require ranked choice for every election of a person as well as a “none of the above” option. If a majority of voters pick “none of the above” as their #1 choice, hold a new election for that office with all new candidates.
edit: also make mail-in the standard for all votes.

1·6 days agoOn this issue, on this vote, you can take your own pick of any one of the over 200 House Democratic representatives who voted to restrict Trump’s authority. Or not. If you want to choose to ignore the good things they do that’s on you.

politics @lemmy.world•Rep. Dan Crenshaw says culture of misinformation fueled his primary loss: “The truth didn’t matter”English
5·7 days agoMy experience is that the more leftist voters will sit it out unless they have someone they want to vote for, while the more rightward voters are very excited to go and vote against someone. We saw in 2024 that the Uncommitted vote has power. More people should show up in the primaries like that. It tells the nominee and the campaign strategists that there are active voters in that district who’s votes need to be earned still. And it’s public record that they voted in the primary so those voters can expect to be canvased to give their feedback on the issues.

2·9 days agoNo they enacted permanent DST in the 70s. OP is asking for arguments against ending DST. The backlash against permanent DST in the 70s was because kids going to school in the early morning darkness were being hit y cars.
