True indeed, and cold comfort indeed.

The problem is that they’re reticent to take any action unless and until they can be guaranteed victory in court. They let the perfect become the enemy of the good. And now they’ve taken so long on what were largely obvious cases in the first place that cheeto’s lawyers can quite easily run down the clock to anything…

Yes, fuck them both, but still VOTE for Biden, because otherwise we’re all fucked.

And yet, we all need to vote Biden anyway – and not just Biden, if we ever want to have a prayer of fixing any of this, we need to vote Democrats up and down the ticket. Part of the reason nothing ever changes is because when one side gets control, it’s by such a narrow margin that they can’t effectively do much. Now…

Biden is not harmless, agreed. But “not harmless” is a far cry from openly telling people how their going to destroy the tenets of democracy. We’ve had lots of “not harmless” presidents before, but the only reason America survived the first trump presidency is because of general incompetence (a mistake they’re working…

Not saying you’re wrong, but if we want to even have the option of voting for better candidates in the future, we all better suck it up, save our grievances for November 6th, and vote Biden in, clearly and decisively.

Am I the only person that has issue with the fact that Blue is purple?

The insurance companies’ strategy is to not pay now, and gamble that by the time the long-term consequences arrive, that it’s somebody else’s problem.

I mean, as your article states, while technically feasible, it doesn’t sound particularly likely, and still seems like a step up from the days of coat hangers and hotwiring. It’s definitely good to have a clear-eyed understanding of how this stuff actually works though, so thanks for the article and (excluding the…

True, but what may have been under-their-breath mutters by their grandparents that didn’t have significant impact on people in those groups is now ever-increasingly unabashedly out in the open, and even making its way into law and policy.

You’re right, the word they should have used was “murderer”.

Has anybody checked to make sure it wasn’t a brain worm?

That’s the thing with the Q-Anon/MAGA crowd now, they’re moving into “America’s bad, let’s be full-blown Nazis” territory, and they’re going there real quick. From openly supporting Russia/Putin, to trying to subvert elections at every turn, to openly calling for an end to democratic representation to trying to…
