special election votes are always comically low

I mentioned this earlier, but it looks like republican turnout was 16% lower than the 2014 midterm (which is always low anyway) and democratic turnout was up 17%.

While Trump is galvanizing democrats, he also may be demoralizing the ever-loving poo poo out of republicans.

That's about a normal special election decrease to my mind. The massive jump on the dem side is more interesting and bears watching moving forward.

Are special elections generally lower than midterms? Don't republicans generally have higher turnout overall? The Delaware thread indicated that Trump and Pence were really pushing.

i literally did not know i had gone to my own catholic confirmation ceremony until my mother elbowed me out of the pew and made me, at 10 years old, march with a bunch of 7 year olds up to the lecture to get my christ cracker

like i sat down one day with my uncle in a church and he wasl ike, "See that symbol? That's alpg ha. The beginning. And see that one? That's Omega. The end." then six weeks later i was confirmed

so now whenever i ahve to go church ijust get my cracker and i look at like people in their 80s still sitting in the pews who havent figured out how bullshit the cermeony is and im like 'lol come up and get your dried out wheat paste disc dude its not a big deal"

Sounds like First Communion, not Confirmation.

I also lived in a cult house briefly because the rent was so cheap. $125 a month with utilities included. They did take off all the doors to bedrooms and bathrooms though to 'make sure people didn't masturbate' so it was a bit odd at times.

that sounds about right my catholic education was obviously pretty awful

i was always so tempted to let the communion wafer slip through my fingers and hit the floor because aparently there is a very elaborate ritual for when the body of christ hits the floor

to this day im not sure what im supposed ot say when a priest hands you a wafer. i just mumbl e something that sounds like amen. or is it "and with your spirt" now?
It's been decades, but I think it's just "amen." The priest says "This is the body of Christ."

The only decision you have to make is if you take it on your tongue or in your hands.

Man, that sounds like a porno direction.

if i had to say anything i would just say "and also with you", worked 99% of the time.
That's for the Sign of Peace, but it looks like cumshitter was partially right…

Up to now, the first well wisher would say, “Peace be with you.” The correct response would be, “And also with you.” Now, the correct response has been updated to: “And also with your spirit.”

You're talking about "Masks" where an ancient Sun Goddess program takes over Data and Picard has to dress up as an ancient Moon God to stop her.

Nancy Pelosi chases Sessions into the Statuary Hall but loses him. She looks around suspiciously. Suddenly, one of the statues leaps from its pedestal and breaks for the Great Rotunda, passing Ryan, himself fleeing the Senate Chamber and a torch-wielding Rand Paul.
