Blindeye posted:After being to more than one Southern town split along literal Race Street, it's safe to say any city in the deep South is going to be segregated, and it blows. Hopefully in time that'll change but you are right. Don't worry - Atlanta Democrats are unifying the city with their Beltline project! By "unifying" I mean demolishing poor people's houses so they can build condos and microbreweries.

Kaal posted:I've been slowly developing the opinion that if rich progressive benefactors like Soros and Buffett really want to start regaining control of the country, the thing to do is to start funding some nonprofits tasked with resettling low-income liberals out of expensive blue states and into urban enclaves in red states. Places like Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Birmingham, Tucson, Little Rock, and Charleston. all of these places already vote democratic. there's no point to putting more liberals in liberal enclaves, you'd need them to move to rural areas to tip those districts which is even more wildly impractical than whatever nonsense you're pushing here

Mister Facetious posted:Don't know why you people don't just implement e-voting. You can in some states. Where it sees resistance is your average red state because everyone would be able to easily vote instead of only certain colors and only in certain places. Republicans would probably lose a lot of their holdings they manage to cling on to if they couldn't "unknowingly" block minorities from voting

Pretty sure Buffett is no progressive activist. He's just smart enough to know that you need a functioning society in order to profit from it and for a functioning society to function the rich need to pay their taxes.

Why is capitalism and progressivism perceived to be at odds in achieving a functioning society? Party Plane Jones posted:Trump's support has dropped by 16 points in counties with military communities over May. He's now at 43-52 approve/disapproval. Entirely anecdotal, but I've long felt that as a Navy, we have a responsibility abroad as we represent a very real, consistent component of US foreign policy. I'm obviously biased against Trump, but one of the things that I get most fired up about is how we as a country are represented internationally by our government and within our international friendships. After the NATO, G7, and most recently Paris Accords brouhaha this past week I honestly feel betrayed and get that laughable and stereotypical feeling of "I wore the uniform, represented our country on the world stage, and this loving idiot has betrayed us" even while I have to support it publicly. I was thinking about that a lot last week and I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense, but poo poo, it makes me really angry and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that others feel the same way. The military as an organization has over 150,000 uniformed individuals overseas at any given time, the VAST majority of which are in allied nations (Japan, Korea, Germany, UK, Italy, etc...). Then there is Russia... a country I am in vehement opposition too... We work closely with our allies and partners and form relationships - then he just walks in and shits all over it and we have to go 'Yup, that's our Commander in Chief'.

It's surprising on the outside but on day one I knew he was the best cabinet member in the Trump administration because Perry isn't dumb enough to think he can run the Department without the buy-in of the people under him. Space Cadet Omoly posted:Literally all Perry has to do is step back and let the people who know what they're doing do their jobs. This is several pages old. But Rick Perry is a piece of poo poo who is doing damage to the DoE program that funds my work. The company I work for will lose 40-ish people (80% or so) if his office doesn't take the blanket funding hold off soon. Here is the email from Energy: quote:Dear Applicants, Just because Rick Perry isn't being vocal about his dislike for his charge (like Pruitt) or saying things contra the mission of his charge (like Carson), doesn't mean he is doing a good or passable job.

Mister Facetious posted:Don't know why you people don't just implement e-voting. I used to think the same thing about e-voting but I have no faith in the ability of local politicians to keep the thing secure. Foreign agents, crazy Americans and 4chan are going to be trying to get into those systems instantly and likely be successful in a lot of cases. Right now real legitimate voter fraud is impossible to accomplish in material numbers. E-voting would get hosed with instantly either through some guy with a giant list of SSNs, birthdays and addresses or foreign cyber operations trying to directly adjust the results. Maybe if it was done fully by the federal government and given the same security attention that things like the National Labs, Pentagon etc. get but the trade-off there is that the entire process would be centralized and under the control of the Repubs half the time, meaning their voter suppression could be deployed nationally rather than just in states where they control the local government.

I feel like local elections would be at the biggest risk to being hacked if there was e-voting. You could easily have a 4chan candidate become your county auditor or something like that.

There is no standardized methodology for voting in America, and the way ballots are implemented can vary wildly even within a state, but since 2000 the momentum of voting methodology has moved away from punchcards and lever machines and to either digital voting machines or to paper ballots filled out in ink and scanned electronically..
