if you want to believe that left wing policy can appeal to anyone in america, north carolina's the place to start believing in first, since they have the nearest national election

amusingly, the bill about even and odd numbered years for chairing the election boards would benefit the dems for the upcoming special election

pretty much all the big stuff loving with elections or the governor's office will wind up in the courts, but the idea there is for that to take several years so they can get what they want done in the meantime

I think a better argument would be that Orange County was the only county in central NC that Sanders won in the primaries.

I was thinking about making some lovely offhand remark about "Hey where's the leftist gofundme for this special session?" on Facebook last night, but I couldn't make it work out and ultimately: who gives a poo poo. Jesus gently caress, yeah let's raise 13 large because literally hundreds of dollars in corrugated plastic signage and two ugly vinyl recliners were savagely set ablaze. You dumb motherfuckers.

Didn't nothing happen consequence wise when it was found out that they had either ballots or voter information in the office?

Can someone brief me on why this doesn't violate the right to peaceful protest? Is it because they are only required to allow it within X feet of the building?

I'm actually curious how it doesn't violate some kind of transparency law. This isn't the first time they've done this. The moral monday protests on Halifax Mall also got arrested. I'm still not exactly sure how or why that's legal. Is Halifax Mall some kind of no-trespassing zone or something?

In the special session they removed personhood from so called "protestors" and those who self-identify as "Democrats", and the law/Constitution is quite clear that the government cannot stymie or disallow people who wish to assemble and protest.

There was a time not long ago that they were arresting protesters every WEEK. They got voted back in for the trouble. Why would they stop now?
