That’s exactly what it sounded like you were saying to me

No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS… Yeah you’re right, it’s tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.

If I’ve learned anything from the Trump years it’s that it does not matter what is obvious, it only matters what the courts will act on. Once those votes are tallied and the final results are submitted the outcome isn’t changing, especially if the manipulation benefits conservatives. And let’s be real, that’s the only scenario in which this has a realistic chance of happening.

The electoral college is ass but getting rid of it would actually make the specific problem you’re describing worse. If the election were decided by popular vote then the margins change but so do the attack vectors. Now instead of being forced to successfully change votes in multiple locations in multiple swing states you can potentially alter the outcome by changing the tallies in one highly populated county. Doing something like that once is a lot easier than doing it 8 times simultaneously.

I still think getting rid of the EC is a good idea but we should make sure we fully understand what that means.

No one can take that from Trump. Elon is second in that category at most.

Clearly against the spirit of the law but not the letter. I like your style.

Bullying has always been part of human nature. Mass shootings are a modern phenomenon. They also didn’t become widespread until well after it was possible to obtain the weapons necessary to carry one out. Bullies are a factor but it’s a far more complex subject than that issue alone can explain.

If it makes you feel better I’m sure AT&T is working on replacing them with an AI chatbot as we speak

Yes you do. That’s what the phrase “catch these hands” is referring to 😁

I’ve never had a Twitter account in my life and have had no issues finding weather forecasts or emergency notifications. That’s a shitty excuse even by the shitty excuse standard.

If Harris is a terrible candidate then what sort of unholy abomination is Trump?

Is that surprising to you? Anyone left in the Republican party cares more about money and power than principles or whatever else you think a politician is supposed to care about.

And you seem to think two years is basically no time at all. Think about how much awful shit Republicans got up to under Trump. Approximately half of that got done in a two year period and that was even a historically deadlocked Congress. Democrats lost in 2010 precisely because two years is a long time and the best thing they got out of it was a shitty healthcare plan that, more than anything, ensured our current unsustainable system stays in place for at least another generation.

Democrats are obviously much better than Republicans in basically every sense of the word, but Republicans get their legislation passed when they have the chance and Democrats trip all over themselves trying to appease the idiots who will never join their coalition. They could learn a lot from Republicans about pushing their agenda but it seems pretty clear by now they aren’t going to.

I’ve been saying this for damn near 15 years. It’s odd that people migrated from Firefox to Chrome in the first place. Obviously not everyone who uses Chrome did that but I know quite a few people who did and are now talking about switching back. These are people who generally believe independent and open source is the best way to go too.
