I think this movie poster perfectly encapsulates the early 2010s

It's not the small penis we hate, it's the loud car.

It took about a week for Biden to be declared the winner last time IIRC.

What I'm really dreading is another Bush v. Gore, which would almost certainly result the same as it did the first time around.

Yeah no it's for any kind of popular vote, local, state, and federal. It's insane

What's funny is that it's incredibly easy to change parties, so if there was a combined effort to alter the outcome of the party's nominee, it would probably work. In fact, you could argue that's what happened in the early 20th century.

To make a long story short, a lifetime or two ago, Democrats were the right leaning "small federal government" party, and Republicans were the ones pushing for social change, in fact, Abraham Lincoln (who was a crucial figure in abolishing slavery in the US) was the first Republican ever elected president.

Anyway, from the late 1800s and into 1900s, democrats began electing more progressive candidates (Roosevelt is a big example) who were more on board with things like equality and government assistance programs than the Republicans, who, one could argue, began to fall back into the older ways of religion and "family values" .

p.s. I wrote this in the middle of a calculus lecture so it might not be the most comprehensive history. If anyone wants to add or correct anything please do so

p.p.s I also now realize you probably weren't asking for a breif on the history of politics in the US lol

That's true. My state's voter ID law made my absentee ballot a huge pain in the ass.

North Dakota doesn't require voter registration? That's based as fuck

As a Nebraskan I can safely say my local state legislature representative would wipe his ass with any such request. Still worth trying, of course.

I'm able to reclaim all of my starships every expedition, even when I'm on my existing save. (I have all of them but the Utopia Speeder)

If you think I'm referring exclusively to the location then you clearly haven't actually read or listened to anything that was said at the rally in question.

People in DC can vote in federal elections, they just don't get any house/senators. Which is a load of shit, by the way.

 

So if you vote on election day but your ballot doesn't get counted in time I guess your shit outta luck?

 
 

I don't expect to get one definite answer here, but Google can't give me one either. Some websites say they're your second cousin, and others say they're your first cousin once removed. I'm trying to figure out some family tree stuff so I need to know the difference between the (groups of) terms.

 
 

CBS refusing to fact check was a travesty, but at least they still called Vance out on the immigrant bullshit.

 

I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that's not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.
