Ripoff posted:I think voting by mail is a wonderful thing and the only realistic method of allowing everyone to vote. No offense, but a voting holiday is an absolute no-go in our hosed-up Puritan society and is nothing more than a pipe dream. Hell, we’re struggling now to recognize Thanksgiving, our one true national holiday, as a day when everyone deserves the day off. I give it 5-10 years before companies start asking employees to take it as a “personal holiday”. Right now places where you can drop off your ballot are watched and monitored in Colorado. Any tampering with them is a very, very serious crime that will get the election commission on your rear end. Also, the containers are really only shaped so that ballots will fit through. you are not going to be able to fit a coal through them.

Demon Of The Fall posted:Could they also make election day a national holiday? I think that would be a good idea. Require states to start mandatory vote by mail? Election day a national holiday and pressure states to allow vote by mail or for there to be multiple days to vote in person (or both). Reenact the VRA with preclearance nationwide. Basically everything possible to drive up voter turnout.

Did anyone ever figure out what Omarosa was doing in the White House? I remember reading articles where the reporters couldn't determine what role she was actually playing, if any.

TheScott2K posted:IMO her bullshit cost Kwame a win he should have walked away with. Trump being all "why didn't you fire her?" in the finale when there was no previous indication whatsoever that he had firing power was also some bullshit. OMG YES! I was rooting for Kwame! He also publicly denounced the orange gremlin, so he's a good guy. I've always wondered if the rumored "friend of the family tape" was about him.

I hadn't checked 538 aggregate polling in a while. However, Monmouth is so trusted that there's no adjustment. 32% approval rating is 32% approval rating. There only tends to be a slight bias for disapproval which is actually higher so 56% disapproval is actually 58% disapproval rating. Trump is at his lowest ebb both in the current poll and in aggregate with 36.6% approval rating and 56.8% disapproval rating. Only 6.6% of Americans are undecided or have no opinion. We're closing in on territory where Trump's approval rating could fall below one in three Americans.

Trump has spent his entire career making GBS threads on black people; if Omarosa was truly capable of shame, she never would have joined the administration. Kelly fired her for gaslighting Trump.

Grapplejack posted:Mandatory vote by mail is lame but I'd like to see more early voting and election day being a national holiday. Voting is cool and good, everyone should be able to enjoy participating in democracy. It isn't lame in the slightest. Here in WA you get like two weeks with your ballot and the voter's guide and you can sit down whenever, spend as much time as you want and send it in when you're ready.

Also, the containers are really only shaped so that ballots will fit through. you are not going to be able to fit a coal through them. Well that’s awesome and a lot better than what I had thought. We have absentee ballots here, and I had assumed that the vote by mail stuff worked the same way (where you literally just fill out the ballot and drop it in the big blue boxes that old people’s bill payments go into  ). This seems like a much more robust solution, now just to lobby the folks in GA to go for it. Hahahaha who the gently caress am I kidding?
