I’d never really thought about this, but I know felons can’t vote, but what about if you are in jail awaiting charges? How does that work?
Just getting access to a ballot seems like a challenge. Don’t you have to request an absentee ballot in advance? If you are in jail, you don’t go to the polls obviously.
Did this guy just screw himself out of a vote?
I’ve heard someone call it billionaire brain rot. I think at some point you end up with so much money and not enough people telling you no, that it literally changes your brain.
Seems likely.
I literally couldn’t pass one for something I needed to access.
I had to switch to the audio thing eventually and it took me multiple tries with that. I should just write a script that uses a fucking bot next time.
This article was all over the god damned map.
You aren’t wrong but…
Can you imagine the spectacle of an ancient senator literally taking a stand for something he/she believes in?
That’d be pretty powerful.
I somewhat disagree.
Music seems like it’s followed a similar trajectory of most things where it’s become more centralized and mass marketed. Music has to appeal to the masses for studios to pick it up. So there is an incentive to find music that appeals to the most people and turns off the fewest.
Similarly, you have a handful of studios telling you what is “good” and pushing it. Even if it isn’t great, it’s good enough that people listen and then they can create the hype behind it where it might not organically exist.
Some music bubbles up organically from independent artists but quite a bit is mass marketed and produced by big studios. And they have the money so they can choke out smaller artists.
The issue with the filibuster,now, is that it’s too easy. It needs to be hard like the old days.
Ironically, because it’s so easy we actually don’t even see filibusters often anymore. It’s usually the threat of a filibuster that stops legislation in its tracks. If it was harder, where you stood for days, then it might not actually stop legislation. At least it would be brought to force the issue.
You should have to earn it.
I’m sure the geriatric core of our Congress will thrilled to have to stand for hours to prove their points.
And that seems entirely reasonable to me. Unless I am missing something
Maybe I’m just tired or being dense but I have no idea what you are referring to in the post.
I was interested in hearing his/her opinion because I enjoyed reading his comment and it sounded like theyd thought about this a decent amount.
In your opinion what are those uncomfortable truths?
I wonder how much we could get if we sold it back to France?
We could keep nawleans though.
Oh umm. I would never make my password this…
I think if you do allow 8 character passwords the only stipulation is that you check it against known compromised password lists. Again, pretty reasonable.
School is usually cancelled because the schools are often polling locations.
It makes it all the more dumb to not have it as a national holiday.
There are campgain signs out that say “Law and Order Matters”
… sponsored by the local Republicans.
I assumed it was a Dem sign then I saw who sponsored it, then I assumed it was a joke, then I realized that no, it’s real and they are just that deluded.
People get annoyed that “people hire their friends”, but the reality is, when you have a sea of random people all lying in various forms on resumes, HR on job postings, etc it’s so much easier and usually better for a company to have ‘vetted’ candidates proposed by current employees. Ie networking.
It’s still the best way to get a job even with all of this fancy HR algorithm bs.
More like: big money and corporate lobbying is ruining democracy. These are just the big boys.
Just love each other. Problem solved
