Use the anger. Use it.
They are unsurprisingly pretty quiet on the topic of their fascist daddy openly trying to disenfranchise voters.
Postal Service warns 46 states their voters could be disenfranchised by delayed mail-in ballots

quote:

To: Libloather
These policy shifts have brought the number of Americans who are eligible to cast mail or absentee ballots in the general election to a historic high of nearly 180 million, roughly 97 million of whom will automatically receive an absentee ballot or an absentee ballot request form in the mail,
The PG is not allowing excessive (massive) overtime to which the Postal Union is retaliating on.

There will probably be a fair share of feet-dragging by disgruntled workers.

With almost 100 million ballots just floating around the fraud will be uncontrollable.

The prog will blame Trump saying it was all intentional and the mountains of ballots must be counted and allowed.

They will also be wailing and moaning about "the popular vote" which in 2016 was fueled by illegal aliens voting.

The progs will be screaming impeachment while all the communist media will chanting "biden won, biden won."

At that point 10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255 [INSURRECTION]; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331–335 [INSURRECTION ACT]; amended 2006, 2007 might be the only way to preserve the Republic.

The Post office could not deliver all the ballots if we had mail in voting no matter what.

Remember Newman on “Seinfeld”, said in a episode they were luck they delivered 65% on time anything more than that never happens and I believe that today. probably worse.

It doesn’t really not make sense. If taken literally it means I could possibly care less but the implication is still certainly that you don’t care very much. In fact “couldn’t” would almost invariably be hyperbolic. But irregardless English is literally larded with euphemistic speech and colloquialisms whose meaning is well understood despite a literalistic take on the words themselves separated from their everyday phrasing.

I always assumed it was just a further contraction of couldn't. Cos where I live the phrase is couldn't care less but we don't pronounce the T.

Most are reasonably competent.

They are just willing to use sex as a boost up.

In some cultures, it is the norm.

They kinda did learn from that. It started out as strictly mocking CWC from afar with rules banning actually trolling, but the admin team turned out to be doing it themselves anyway and just wanting to keep control of it. Their list of acceptable “lolcows” gradually expanded over the years to include basically anyone transgender or left-wing and the rules on not harassing people yourself slackened.

They've built their own elaborate memeplex based on 90s right wing nonsense (lots of waco and black helicopters and un agenda 21 and the like) that theyve been dwelling in for a quarter century, and qanon strikes them as a bunch of johnny-come-latelies. It's a young person's conspiracy (well, people young than freepers, mostly) and we know what freepers think about the novel tastes and thoughts of people younger than them

It's the same reason freep also seems somewhat resistant to youtube wormhole diving - they don't watch 73 straight of Prager U or Ben Shapiro because they already know that stuff, and like hell are they gonna let someone younger than themselves instruct them or update their knowledge.
