Yeah, making election day a national holiday doesn’t help those of us who don’t get most holidays off.

it’s discussed with city council

I don’t see how this is money laundering or wire fraud. I hope he gets off. Or the real best solution would to make it so the revenue just goes to the artists the AI is ripping off.

“To fry” means to cook in oil or fat. A distinction we can make is “deep fry” like the chicken, and “pan fry” for the other 2. We don’t use woks as much here so really the only difference between fried rice and a fried egg is whether you stir it or flip it, but both are still cooked in a pan with oil.

Yeah, 50% person actually restarted, 30% chance person is lying, 20% chance person just turned the monitor off and back on.

Yeah that’s why I’m saying to vote down ballot. That will push back against the current trend more than either option for president.

The actions the democratic party has taken in the past few decades seem to be legitimizing the radicalization of the republican party that is inching the US towards a fascist state. You may be able to argue that’s not their intention, but that doesn’t change the results they’re achieving. Whether they keep the ratchet locked with desire or ineptitude doesn’t substantially change my argument.

Well the democrats seem to be either too weak or unwilling to release the lock on said ratchet, so take your pick. Either way we should still be trying to elect better people to the offices where we can actually make a difference.

You ever hear of the ratchet effect? It only works that way when the 2 controlling parties have similar goals.

Thanks for ignoring the second paragraph.

a president can potentially pick several Supreme Court justices

Only if they have support from the senate.

Plus as the head of state, they are one of the biggest symbols of national identity.

Maybe they shouldn’t be.

If low voter turnout is a problem, and they don’t want to vote for arguably the important role, why would they bother going out and queuing at all?

I’m arguing it’s not the most important role and trying to get people to go vote even if they skip the president part of their ballot.

This doesn’t acknowledge the core of my argument. This doesn’t even contradict anything I’ve said.

That was pretty weird. You’re also misrepresenting my argument. As far as my motivations for posting, they are 1, get people to vote even if it’s not for president and 2, steer more conversation towards local politicians.

If we keep focusing solely on the president we’ll never get better options.

We still have snow sometimes that means there’s no global warming.

That’s included but not the only thing I’m talking about. Also the real point I’m trying to make is if we’re able to elect better people to congress and make those voices unignoreable, then it doesn’t matter who the president is.

You’re so right, because we are not currently living under a full extreme fascist state, that totally means the US isn’t moving in that direction. /s

Then run for office.

Also with how far away we are from elections, I doubt you’ve actually checked what options you have in the more local races.

Do the downvoters think the office of president is the most or only thing worth voting for on your ballot?

Massive support for war and policing. Crack down on protesters. Etc.
