I mean, the Declaration also allows for the populace to abolish a government that doesn't work for its interests, so yeah.

my kinda ape posted:I'm sure the plague of scam callers where you might get 5-10 calls per day from "card services" or "about your car warranty" probably cause a lot of people to not answer unknown numbers. And conservatives like my mom have been conditioned by the propaganda machine to think pollsters are fake news devils working against Republicans. This. I never answer my phone unless it's from a number I recognize. Like hell I'm going to answer a random number when 90% of it is spam.

My new pixel 3 has a call screen option that will ask questions and show you a text conversation. It's nice just to waste their time a tiny bit.

CommieGIR posted:More on the Georgia voting security issue: This really isn't getting enough exposure. The Republican party has turned into the bastard offspring of Jim Crow hate-loving a banana republic. Kemp has refused to secure the electoral system he is in charge of, instead using it to turbofuck minorities and rig the election he is running in. When a security flaw is found in the system he is both responsible for and abusing, his immediate reaction is to gin up an investigation against his political opponents for their "hacking". This is, of course, being trumpeted in right wing media as him valiantly holding out against the perfidious Democrat and securing the future for our children. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/5/18065258/georgia-governor-race-brian-kemp-stacey-abrams-hacking-democrats-accusations

I can't help but be reminded of this beauty of a quote by Zhdanov. "Only by mercilessly exterminating the Fascist bastards can we save our Motherland, save our wives and mothers, and save our children." I'm not sure how long the right wingers have been using their little slogan, I've never been interested enough to look into it. But on the left, it's been used since 1941.

It might also be some sort of legal quagmire involving title 10/title 32 shenanigans. Which of course is why you don't say 'hey go do this' in public until you know that can happen.

So who the hell knows.

I'm just picturing Mattis telling the White House jerkoff who told him to do that to gently caress off, instead of his usual answer of saying he'll refer the matter to an inter-service planning task force headed by the appropriate assistant undersecretary.

Silver Lining and all that.

For real, I just worry that mine will get thrown out. They already had me come and resign the envelope because I accidentally signed my name different than my registration. And people really seem to like loving with early voting ballots and all

Also it’s Chicago so the worst that happens is I get my vote changed to a machine democratic candidate. So in the national scheme ok for the next couple years.

I remember being amazed at Romney's slogan. "We can't afford another 4 years like the last 4 years." It's simple, a powerful message, and completely and demonstrably false.
