Not trying to be a smartass here, genuinely curious. Can a lefty please give a rational explanation how a heavily populated state like Florida can wrap up their election results on the same night unlike Maricopa County, PA, Michigan, and others? This isn’t 2020 and the surge of mail-in ballots is not even remotely similar to that year.

Maricopa may be the most incompetent, embarrassing.
When the counting stopped in 2020 swing states we had libs like Dion on here claiming they needed a nap.
 
Well looky there. The VIdiot managed to find one of the most hypocritical quotes I've ever seen by BRussell. Amazing how leftist flies are drawn to sht

Good lord! I read the post, but I didn't realize THE VILLAGE IDIOT posted it!

Amazing!

Considering he is the most cocksure and arrogant poster here.
 
Too many words. In general my problem with what I think you're suggesting is a few unelected people decide what is and what isn't "disinformation". I agree this would be hard to implement. [Edit: the biden-Harris regime tried to do that ... with predictably disastrous results. I appreciate what you're trying to get at, but there is ZERO way to trust government to do it.] This is one of the beauties and dangers of free speech. And IMO, the left is using that beauty against us, just like Alinsky described.
Not government controlled. Lottery, so many from each party represented, private entity with pay for their work during that election. If you have republican, democrat, green party, libertarian, communist and so forth on the ticket each gets one or two (citizens) on that commission. With Zoom and teams no need to be in one place. Just have evidence. Review, vote. That is all it takes. Almost like jury duty but paid much better. Elections are now a billion dollar industry. So part goes to the election commission for pay of representatives.
 
I've only voted twice. Biden and Harris were my votes and I would've preferred a better choice both times. I did not vote for them because they were Democrats, but only because I preferred them over Donald Trump. Because of the electoral college and living in Kentucky, I knew my vote would not matter in the outcome of the election.

From the 2024 GOP platform:
1. Seal the border
2. End inflation
3. Prevent WWIII
4. Support and Defend the Constitution
5. Protect Medicare and Social Security with no cuts, including no changes to the mandatory retirement age.

I have been amazed at how many people on this board will go out of their way to tell me who I am, what I think and why I think that way ... and it's all free of charge !!

It reminds me of the one of the funniest and most insightful jokes I've ever heard by Lou Holtz on ESPN. It went something like this:
I was visiting a nursing home the other day and went up to one lady in a wheelchair, chatted with her and asked her if she knew who I was. She said "no, I don't, but if you'll go over there to the nurses' station, THEY'LL tell you who you are!" 😎

Fwiw … Trump was a life-long Democrat, too.

So was Elon, Tulsa, rfk jr, etc.

Are you.making the Maga point, that the uniparty (especially the dem side) is absolutely awful?
 
Well, I did MY part. If society, the DNC, state election boards, and the courts are determined to put their thumb on the scales there is nothing we can do about it. I said over 6 months ago that Trump needed scores of lawyers in the swing states, challenging anything and everything, but they haven't done it.

Every Trump voter in those states, that hasn't voted yet is going to have to suck it up, for hours on end, and overwhelm the election day vote. That's the best we can do.

If he loses, he loses. It'll be a sad day though, and it will usher in one party rule for all of our lifetimes IMO.

So says Mega MAGA Man....
"Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them."
Bertrand Russell
 
of COURSE you feel that way ... now that you're on the other side. You must not give 2 chits about the younger generation to include your grandchildren. You are 100% okay with OTHERS paying higher so you can keep your viagra low...
I have always felt that way and was happy to pay more to insure solvency and benefits, not only for my future but that of fellow Americans. I never understood why contribution rates weren’t raised, based on projections and actuarial tables. This was often discussed over the years at my CPE seminars. It was the politicians who were unwilling to raise the rates and limits, not most people I knew and worked with. Borrowing from the SSA funds by Congress was upsetting to folks, too.

Regards Viagra, I’ve had prostate cancer and it’s useless.

Fwiw … what’s always been amazing to me is how few people know that, except for self-employed people, FICA and Medicare taxes are matched by their employers. Folks get full benefits, but have only contributed half the cost.

same here. i noticed lots of women voters, seemingly more than usual, but maybe not. concerning though
Polls show that men overwhelmingly still want to vote on election day. Everyone getting worried about this need to realize that we used to have a voting day and lots of people like to pretend we are still a proper country.

The absolute truth about the leftists here is that they are hateful people that would just as soon slit someone's throat if they thought there was something in it for them and no way they'd get caught.

They refuse to EVER take responsibility for or condemn the things that their politicians, activists, heroes, and stars do and have done. They don't care that someone's daughter was raped and murdered unless it was a "Christian" or "conservative" that did it. They still don't care about the rape or murder of a person. It's just a tool to redirect attention from them and their ilk

They would never protest nor mourn the wrongful death of a person with differing ideology, just like the vast majority of African American, leftist activists don't protest the wrongful deaths of people they see as different from them in appearance or ideology. (I have yet to see one do anything of the sort.)

It's not about people for the left. It's about power. It's not about rights, but about leverage. It's not about "equity" but about graft and personal gain. They don't care even about those like them, if it means they have less, truth be told. They'd curb stomp a fellow looter for the last 70" QLED.

People need to recognize that
Your view of your fellow Americans says it all.
What a miserable existence and world view during your brief stay here on planet Earth. Feel sorry for you and those in your inner circle.
 
Problem with that is it takes 3 times, had different results 3 different times. Election should not be off at all let alone 3 times no matter who wins.
You're doomed to be disappointed in life if you demand perfection.

None of the recounts changed the vote enough to call the result doubtful. In the slightest.

…one party rule—and that is the socialist party, the former democratic party
if trump doesn’t win this election our constitutional republic is lost

Some of the X accounts I’m seeing today are sounding more bullish for Harris. People hedging the middle or are they anticipating more election “fortification”.
Baris is saying all the data is saying Trump and all the Media are saying Kamala. It depends on if you listen to the media or the data as to how you feel. Look at how the campaigns are acting and what the dems are doing on the ground and ask yourself if they act like they feel like they can win or are they acting panicked and need a hail mary?
 
I've BEEN a California resident, and no, I had the same take on it back then, because I'm not an idiot.

I've also lived in New York, Texas, and Florida; ALL of the big population states. All with the same (and correct) take.
So you think it is a great political system that mandates our Presidential candidates spend 99 percent of their time pandering to 7 states while telling the other 43 states they basically don't matter??
How bout speak to ALL the American people? Maybe we'd end up with better candidates if this were the case.
Times change and it's time for the electoral college to go. Political minority and fringe groups are the only beneficiaries.
 
No, there are not "good arguments on both sides".

The big cities are shitholes and they would be determining the entire direction of the country (more than they do now) and there would be zero reason for the rest of the country to participate. Only idiots that want to destroy the country argue against the EC.

Every single position I've seen you take on here is leftist. Now, I appreciate you like to describe yourself as a moderate ... that you're above the fray (and so much better than us partisans), but you're simply a leftist who doesn't have the courage to admit your true position.
So you're scared of every vote counting in a Presidential election?? You think the votes of people who live in cities should count less than yours??
What a garbage viewpoint.
 
We need to outlaw political adds on TV and internet. Most countries do not allow it. It should be door to door, print (mail) or if you sign up email or rallys / town hall meetings. It would take away so much of this hatred. People online are internet tough guys and we all want to get our points across but do not realize how much hatred we spew towards each other on election stuff. It is not called for.

Each and every legal US citizen has a right to vote their conscious.

Politicians should not be able to discuss the other candidate running. It should only be about what your policies are and why you are the better candidate. That would stop about 75% of the misinformation from both sides. It would also take TV/media out of elections.
In kind contributions needs to be enforced equally too. Democrat donors will never get fined or jail for spending on a democrat campaign outside of the normal process. Pubs constantly have to jump through hoops. Elon is being investigated for this now and Cuban and all the celebs aren't.
 
Actually, the opposite. The electoral college helps elites by making it possible for minority rule.
A couple of the reactions were the Laughing Emoji. Strangers in a strange land.

In 2 of the 3 Republican presidential wins this century, the Republican won with fewer votes than the Democratic candidate. Gore had more votes than Bush in 2000. (543,895) Clinton had more votes than Trump in 2016. (2,868, 686).

On the Democrat side, Obama's margin was +7.2% against McCain and +3.2% against Romney. Biden was +4.5% vs. Trump.

Ummm, go to a popular vote and then you'll see even FEWER states get attention. Do you even THINK before you post?
 
Going Tuesday to vote. Hopefully the lines settle a little. Tried today but the lines in our small town were still hours long. I’ve never seen it this way honestly.
Only 3 locations in my county for early voting. 1 hour wait at one thur and fri. Voted Fri in minutes but had to drive about 15 minutes further.... Worked out. Drove my parents too.

Democrats oppose Citizens United pretty uniformly. So many of our woes stem from dark money. Money is not speech. Money can be counted and measured. It is fungible, as they say. Put Citizens United to a vote. Up or down. It's possible to get rid of it. I hope.
 
Well, except for the ones where legitimate voters have been scrubbed. Or where mail-in votes from liberal districts have been stolen or set on fire.

But I'm sure you'll update your concerns.

Which? The Virginia noncitizens or the ones who didn’t fill them out correctly?

The drop box fires? Yes sure the MAGA perpetrators spray painted GAZA on them after they burned them too huh?

Jussie Smollet wants his subway sandwich back btw

Why should someone in Wyoming's vote count four times someone in Cali's? If that's the "correct" take, explain it to us. I've lived there. They aren't special.
 
You do realize that glaciers have been retreating from the end of the ice age, correct?
Gore claimed they would be gone by the early 2000's and that NYC would be under water.
It absolutely is fear mongering and an overreaction in order to manipulate.
Now let him on the fact that Earth was a complete snowball at one time with CO2 levels higher than today. See how he handles that.
