There are states that already use 100% vote-by-mail, and we really haven't seen any big public problems. Proof of voting a certain way, for vote selling or because of intimidation, is also an issue with in-person voting. Most people carry cameras into the voting booth.

I mean it's clear that Trump is still colluding with Russia in the hope that they will help him and his party in 2018 and 2020. Democrats should say that.

Groovelord Neato posted:"i need to build electric cars to combat climate change!!" To be fair, he has donated sporadically to politicians all over the spectrum, with more money going to Democrats. This is one of those “rich people things” that seems common, I don’t really get, but probably has something to do with making a few thousand dollar donation each time you meet with (any politican) in the hopes of getting something in return. https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Elon+Musk

California passed the Voters Choice Act in 2017. That created voting centers that: Are open 10 days prior to voting day Same day voting on registration Vote by mail ballots Which gives 29 days to vote by mail This is for every election Sacramento county started it this year and it's already seen a rise in voter turnout. But it didn't stop a couple of lovely politicians from claiming victory before all the mail by ballots were counted. This is spreading to the entire state by 2020.

i'm being fair. as chomsky said the republican party is the most dangerous organization to ever exist (the nazis weren't trying to destroy the ability for humanity to exist on this planet). giving any money to them means you want future generations to live in a blasted hellscape.

It’s easy to appear less racist when no minorities actually live anywhere near you and the topic never comes up. Look at Scandinavia. But then a couple thousand refugees are admitted into the country and boom, people show their true nativist colors. Also how do you feel about how Russians view LGBT people vs how Americans do?

But then a couple thousand refugees are admitted into the country and boom, people show their true nativist colors. Russia has visual minorities, Russia itself is about 80% ethnically Russian (there are plenty of other ethnicities) and there are also migrants from Central Asia on top of that. It isn't that racism doesn't exist either, but it is much deep at the core of American society. I would say more clearly negative, but probably not that different than Americans in 1990s (there were still sodomy laws in the US remember in 1990s). The younger generation is more accepting about it. It is one of those things where we are in many ways more alike each other than really different.

Siljmonster posted:Leadership would be pushing all Democrats to act, not pity calling the president on Twitter. This is the best we can get so you just got to accept it and do your best to throw your support behind our leadership. No one here likes Chuck Schumer but you have to understand that this is just the way things are and despite our reservations about him it's very probable that he knows best. If you were an adult and not a child you would need these things explain to you, but thankfully those of us who are adults are here to hold your hand and talk you through these confusing times. /sarc off I've said it before and I'll say it again. If we rely on the present Democratic Leadership to see us through this crisis, America will fall to fascism. The only thing that modern Democratic Leadership conceptually understands is how to manage a status quo that no longer exists. Any action they take or decision they make is done within the context of their mistaken belief that the old status quo still exists (or that the old status quo can be reinstated). Leadership is not demanding that a tyrant do something that you know he isn't going to do. That's an empty gesture meant to imitate the appearance of leadership, not actual leadership.

What exactly can Democrats do to force the President, who is already overseas, to not meet with another Head of State? Maybe Manchin should get into a fighter jet and shoot down Air Force One while en route. Shimrra Jamaane fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Jul 14, 2018 |

Shimrra Jamaane posted:What exactly can Democrats do to force the President, who is already overseas, to not meet with another Head of State? What kind of an asinine standard is this? Seriously. It's not about forcing the president's hand- leadership is about turning yourself into a focal point to direct action from a broad coalition of people. Schumer or Pelosi could be out organizing Rally's or giving speeches or doing loving any creative thing to obstruct the genocidal agenda of a white supremacist president. That would be actual leadership. Chuck's statement amounts to nothing more than virtue signaling. Further, it demonstrates that he has absolutely no concept of what an appropriate response from a leader would be in this situation. It's patently obvious that our president is compromised by a hostile foreign power, why in the name of God would you demand that said compromised agent insist that the foreign power that is compromised him turn over intelligence assets for criminal prosecution within our country? What what benefit is there to that action? It looks like leadership, it seems like the kind of thing a leader would say in a situation like this. And Chuck Schumer, being a fat old rich white man who's never missed a meal in his life- has no concept of what actual leadership is. So he's just going through the motions. He isn't thinking deeply about anything beyond how to get the situation back to the status quo that he understands how to manage. That is extremely dangerous for our country right now.

Hey threadfriends, I have the opportunity to name two new SSIDs somewhere in the heart of a super-trumpy suburban neighborhood. I need some advice on Network names. So far, I'm thinking something along the lines of "Gay Space Communist WiFi 69 420" Or "Kompromaccess Point" or "Mueller's FBI Surveillance Network" or maybe just Piss Tape. Suggestions?
