Staying on that topic, Section 230 which gives Yahoo the power to censor people is under fire from Rs and Ds.

Rs want to remove that ability.
Ds want tech giant to censor even more.

We need to be rid of Rs and Ds in the worst fucking way.

I have South Park on background noise. I just caught Stan saying, "We have to tell him about how important it is that he votes, because he'll definitely vote for our guy."

Pretty brilliant line.

That's a stance I have definitely changed over the years. I have gone from "Vote!" to "Vote only if you've researched the candidates and you're not just voting for a letter or because some celebrity told you how to vote."

A young woman on my FB feed just admitted that she meant to vote, but she was 2 days late to register.

Time.com is posting past-tense, masturbatory fantasies about how electing Biden will fix everything.

Spoooooooky.

Hard to believe Fox didn't use scanners, or just cell phone cameras, for the ONLY (?) copies of this world changing information.

Totally. You always send unoccupied originals through the mail/ups/fedex.

This is why I don't watch any news. It angers me how many people will listen to that and believe conspiracy. And that guy, knowing the damage he's causing the country, just keeps babbling on because it earns him clicks/views.

When they know goddam well the Hunter Biden file is right there next to Trump's Piss Tape.

CNN Opinion piece (so you know it's unbiased...) about Trump's remarks to women I mentioned previously in this thread.

It really is pretty impressive how many politicians are absolutely incapable of simply not putting their foot in their mouth. They do it non-stop. Both parties.

Maybe it's because politicians are just people who weren't good enough to use their law degree?

But what if their husbands won't let them vote against Trump?

Secret ballots have been secret since the early 20th century.

I saw on CNN yesterday, I think, that half of all requested mail in ballots were never returned. No idea who that favors.

Those statistics seems kind of questionable and premature to even try to count at 10/29/2020.

e: we got electronic confirmation TODAY that our ballots got recorded. And we did it a while ago.

Also that, but it sure seems like there needs to be a significant "red wave" as we close on election day for the gap to close. Not sure where the enthusiasm will come from.
