I mean, holding onto a truck/SUV and riding on the side of it as it drives 25-30MPH is fun as hell, I'll give them that. Still doesn't mean they need to do it or there's any purpose to it aside from "feels cool, looks cool".

I saw a very good post yesterday that of course, I forgot to save. Basically it said that voting shouldn't be viewed as marriage, it should be viewed as public transit. Just because the bus doesn't get you all the way to your destination doesn't mean you shouldn't take the one that gets you closest to where you want to go. And it doesn't make sense to just get on the bus going the opposite direction.

There's lots about this metaphor that I like, including that people in power have a history of making public transit shittier in this country. Also we are allowed to criticise the transit system even as we take it. Being passenger is not an endorsement, it may be the only option. I dunno, for some reason it clicked in my brain that I can hate on the Kamala / Biden ticket based on their record and policy all I want - it's ok to question people based on their record.

I think I buy into the theory that he hosed up broadcasting this poo poo now and not the last week of October.

Remember when Wisconsin had that whole loving thing during their primary/judicial elections with COVID going on and the GOP actively stopping people from getting mail in ballots? Everyone figured "well gently caress, people aren't gonna bother to turn out now" but they did and ended up getting the Dem judge over the finish line?

It's going to be nothing but sound bytes and gotchas that are 100% meaningless.

Considering that they just promised that they would stop with the bullshit changes for now after the only action taken up to this point was people calling their reps and yelling about it as well as Dem politicians giving soundbytes calling DeJoy out for being tremendously loving stupid, I'd wager that it might be a bit more substantive than "meaningless".

Okay, so what's your point? ~*Nothing Matters*~?

People are aware of the changes and even if the changes aren't effectively rolled back, enough people know about it now that people are clearly aware of who's pulling this poo poo and that they might need backup plans in order to vote. That's not meaningless.

Sometimes loudly calling attention to a problem even if you can't effectively do anything about it for whatever reason (in this case Trump refusing to sign any legislation that grants additional funding for the USPS or McConnell letting bills sit idle after the house passes them) is better than saying "ah well nevertheless"

Also repeating once again, Postal Inspectors do not gently caress around. The best way I've had it described to me is "If the DEA or ATF indict you, you might have a fighting chance. If it's the FBI, you may want to plea out but you might have a chance depending on the charge. If it's the Postal Inspectors, you're hosed and they know it."

Surely the cop was the better choice over the wounded warrior. -_-

I think I posted it here but apparently Biden was really leaning towards picking her but they leaned away from her because campaign lawyers worried it would only take one racist GOP appointed judge to say she was ineligible to be on the ballot (she absolutely is qualified FWIW, but you know, Racism) in a battleground state and they didn't want to take the chance.

Yeah that - I couldn't find the article about it, but it was posted the day after the pick. It sounded like something that was absolutely freaking out campaign lawyers because birthright citizenship is actually court-untested and there's no Supreme Court precedent about it.

I don't think that alone torpedoed Duckworth, but it's a reasonable concern given the state of the judiciary.

I mean considering you had that one blow job hack saying Harris wasn't eligible for ~*reasons*~, it's not a far stretch of the imagination that someone would have taken it a step further with someone who was born to an American father but not on American soil.
