I'm sure you think you fit the bill, though.
Oh, absolutely. I'm a genius.

But you're right, of course, that any system that would qualify who is "worthy" will have inherent flaws or bias. But, at the same time, we will all be resigned to watching our democracy slowly die from the inside out.

that is a hot take, this whole thing with these people would be alleviated with ranked choice voting. But that makes to much sense.
I mean, this change absolutely needs to happen. The point stands, way too many people aren't worthy to vote. They aren't intelligent, aware, of non-prejudiced enough.

Updates:
* The SCOTUS oral arguments for Trump's presidential immunity appeal happened on Thursday April 25th. We're now waiting for SCOTUS to make a ruling on it, but it could take until June 25th.
* Trump is currently on trial in New York for the criminal hush money / election interference case. The trial happens on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and is expected to go for maybe another 5 to 6 weeks.
* Trump has violated the judge's gag order about 12 times so far. They had a hearing on Tuesday April 23rd to address the 1st 10 or so violations. The judge has scheduled another hearing for Thursday May 2nd to address the remaining 2. The 2nd hearing was originally on Wednesday May 1st, but it got moved. Still waiting on Judge Merchan to make a ruling about the first 10 gag order violations. NY law says it's either a max $1000 fine per violation or jail time. The prosecution asked for fines for the 1st 10, but not sure how the judge will rule.
* Trump and the NY AG have worked out a deal to accept the $175 million bond fronted by Knight Specialty Insurance in the NY civil fraud trial. We're now waiting on the appeals court to make a ruling.
* No important events in the Georgia RICO trial or the classified documents case, I don't think.
* Trump's appeal in the second E. Jean Carroll trial was denied.
Thank you, good work!

I've given it alot of thought.

And I am leaning towards voting third party.

My vote is earned, not owed. And right now Biden is not earning it. And while I understand the alternative is Trump, I feel that things will end up the same as they have always been for the last 30+ years. Dems placate while Rs act mask off. End result is all the same, though.

That being said, the truth is I voted 3rd party in 2020, too. And in 2016. Gonna take an ordeal to convince me.

Because the MAGA part of the court are compromised traitors.

No, really. Conventional wisdom is the only reason they didn't decline to hear this/instantly laugh it out of the court is to help delay the election interference case against Trump until after the election, in the hopes he might be untouchable then.

The fact that Trump's own lawyer is blatantly saying how insane of the idea of total Presidential immunity is to be entertained in front of the SC is tragic in of itself. Dude is tactically admitting this means Biden could off Trump and arrest the SC with total impunity.

To answer the topic, no, he doesn't.

Distilling the election down to the pure pass/fail that it is, not voting tactically helps Trump. There's no reason to do that unless you actually like Trump, or are too dumb to know how our election system works.

On a broader scale, no. Biden has been pretty amazing through and through, and is actively making things better for the average person.

They are now facing the consequences of their own stupid actions.

Not that it will matter. Alito and Thomas will rule against this, so it's +2 for the evil fucks out of the gates. It won't take much for the other fucks to twist this in a way that makes sense to them. Kav already is trying, with the "but was the bill originally passed for this intent?"

That isn't how laws work. Only the actual language matters. If that was the case, then the 1st wouldn't protect non-18th century technology free speech, no one would have a right to a gun, etc.

Not that hypocrisy has ever stood in the way of these idiots. Abortions are a legit medical procedure for emergency, life-saving needs. This isn't even an argument in a sane world.

This is my fucking problem with how the US manufactured bills. I need to get a bridge in Omaha repaired but in so doing I also have to okay children not getting school lunches.
They are called Christmas Tree bills, and basically the new norm of getting bills passed. Most of this has to due to GOP-lead obstruction. Simple yes or no's on single-issue bills will die to GOP opposition (or never see the light of day if the House is controlled by the GOP). But they stand a chance of passing if they can be bundled with pet-project stuff like this.

It's trash, but likely won't go away until GOP actually has very little seats.

Pretty fucking wild to ban an entire social media platform. It's no secret how bad the data mining is, but it's also no different than any other social media company.

It seems most historians can agree on these 3 things
-there was someone named Jesus of Nazareth in that time period
-he was baptized by John the Baptist
-he was crucified by the Romans/Pilate

There's virtually nothing else known or noted as being remarkable between his birth and death.

In all likely hood, the plot of The Life as Brian is more or less what happened. There were a LOT of people hocking some religious belief in the area at this time.

Yeah, it's not exactly a secret that their compensation policy is specifically designed to avoid ever actually having to pay for it.
I actually got the cost of the ticket refunded in full as an e-credit when a girl I was seeing at the time couldn't make it out with me to a wedding (she got Covid and the ND National guard screened her at the airport). That said, Delta doesn't let you combine gift cards with e-credits and e-vouchers, which is mega dumb.

Shit went off at it's typical max volume. I jolted out of bed at 3:40AM because, fuck I don't know, I thought a nuke warning was going off and was getting an alert or something. I just started running out of my room and down the hall, not even really awake. I hurt my leg pretty badly, pulled a muscle that took weeks to work out. Couldn't go back to sleep and had to work a 12 hour day.
