Yeah, man, come on over, nobody’s using the back yard at night anyway. We do a big dinner party every Friday, and you’re welcome to come. Bring a bottle if you can! The more the merrier, in an example that scales surprisingly well to the international level in a way I’m guessing you did not intend

If he's getting executed, yeah, it'll be because there was a violent revolution. Probably more of one than you'd like. I'd temper that particular fantasy

I mean, the last sixty years of Continental philosophy might not agree with you on that 100%, but more or less, sure

Sorry, did you NOT support Hillary Clinton? Fucking why not? It was an important election, you know.

Supporting Trump =\= Getting back at the Dems

And I think you may have a problem with actual empirical data when it doesn’t confirm your preconceived ideas of what “should” be important to other people. Learn from your idol: triangulate your position rather than scuttling the ship every time it runs into choppy water. Every. Single. Thing. you say about Bernie…

lol that's fucking stupid. Clinton is gone, the Democratic Party isn't monolithic, trying is better than rolling over, please drop out of the gene pool

Bully, but the polling data shows that to likely voters, it still reads as “we think you’re so stupid a few targeted ad buys are tantamount to brainwashing.” And they aren’t completely wrong: not only are they stupid, but everything Putin did in 2016 the Koch brothers did before breakfast this morning, and it’s…

Yeah, I know, they had Twitter bots. I’m saying Republicans own this issue. The only part that’s remotely illegal was the cover-up. Pretending otherwise tells the independent voter “Trump may be vile, but we’re on some Alex Jones level shit and will never be ready to govern.” Your pet cause happens to be a losing…

Do you do yoga? 'Cuz that's a pretty big stretch

You do know this conspiracy theory shit is the only thing likely to sink us in November, right?

lol that’s only how elections work if you only care about Blue Team winning instead of what policies well actually have to live under, but also don’t think you should have to help make happen

The difference is one allows for mandatory voting.

I don’t know, my dad got kicked out a few weeks ago for trying to use his girlfriend’s card. They straight-up said “You don’t look like an ‘Elizabeth’ to me, sir.”

That’s what blank-balloting is for. If we keep the secret ballot, mandatory voting is not a 1A issue. Nobody is proposing we get rid of the secret ballot.

Almost exclusively rural black people, because you don’t need an ID for those things if you spend your whole life in a town that doesn’t have ‘em anyway.

Nah, dude. Learn how sentences are structured or be okay with people dismissing your writing out of hand. Or join an Esperanto community, I hear they're not sticklers for that stuff there way everyone else on Earth is.

Maine and Nebraska distributed electors proportionally, and there's a perennial proposal for Pennsylvania to dole them out by CD.

Yes, because voter turnout was famously very high in 2016 and in the US in general, because there is no widespread sentiment that voting is unlikely to affect change because of things like gerrymandering

I probably would have been ok with that, it was a pretty performative and acrimonious split. I hadn’t yet developed an awareness that every single thing isn’t the end of the world, but I had the social skills and executive function to keep that shit going for like a year or more. Significantly longer than we actually…
