    Sounds like the government should eat Meta’s lunch before extremists eat their’s. They won’t tho. They’ll let every tiny far right group smear shit over the white house again.

    I just read an article about a ballot box being lit on fire in a heavily blue locale. After my initial horror I thought why there as opposed to anywhere else blue? There’s a tight contest for the house rep in that district, a purple district.

      It was Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon. Heavily blue areas closely surrounded by heavily right areas.
