A quick definition of tri-chad:

Tri-Chad: A small piece of paper that is attached to a ballot and punched out by a voter to cast a vote. The chad must be completely separated from the ballot for the vote to be counted. A tri-chad is a chad that is attached to the ballot by three points. In the 2000 presidential election, more than 40,000 ballots with partially attached chads had to be hand-counted, causing a delay in the results.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tri-chad is a type of chad, which is a small piece of paper that is attached to a punch-card ballot by several points and punched out by a voter to cast a vote. In order for the vote to be counted, the chad must be completely separated from the ballot. Tri-chad is attached to the ballot by three points.

Example: During the 2000 presidential election, more than 40,000 ballots had to be hand-counted because they had partially attached chads. Tri-chad is one type of chad that could cause a ballot to be rejected if it is not completely detached from the ballot.

Explanation: The example illustrates how tri-chad can impact the accuracy of an election. If a voter does not fully detach the tri-chad from the ballot, their vote may not be counted. This can lead to delays in election results and disputes over the outcome of the election.

if you have serious contentions with US imperialism, your bone to pick is with the system (military industrial complex, policymakers, capitalism in general) more than individual servicemembers. the DOD is the largest single employer in the US and the benefits and guaranteed pay make it a pragmatic choice for stability in an increasingly unstable country

I think I'm mostly aligned with you/your views on this issue, nemo, but I don't see how being mean in a chat is going to change hearts and minds idk

I think there’s a place to acknowledge both that the military is an institution that preys on low income people and you should never have to see ur best friend die in front of you while also believing that we’ve engaged in a lot of meaningless wars and if you’ve participated you are complicit
