Donald Trump won the popular vote in an election with record setting voter turnout. Lack of democracy from the electoral college or voter suppression didn't do this. People voting for Trump did.

It's directed at people who absolutely cannot vote for Harris due to her stance on Gaza. Instead, they enabled a war on their LGBTQ neighbors.

I'd argue that 98% of US voters don't care about Gaza whatsoever. It's a wedge issue for a very small minority but was unlikely to significantly affect the race in the big picture.

Almost everybody I know bitches about the price of groceries (regardless of where they place the blame) but I only know a couple people in the Real/Outside World who regularly talk about the Gaza genocide.

It's not that "the crime isn't a felony in Florida", it's that Florida defaults to the felony-voter rules of the state where the crime was committed.

New York lets felons vote as long as they're not currently incarcerated, so Florida lets him vote.

Yeah, but if you get caught with a paper trail and only one comma, nobody's gonna jump to your defense.

FWIW, I think this injunction was not about election integrity, but gambling laws.

But yeah, bribery is legal if you have that third comma in your net worth.

The lore is that the saarlac actually keeps you alive while digesting you. ~~Like, it puts roots in that act as life support so it has a constant source of protein or whatever. ~~ eh, that last but might not be accurate but there is some kind of enzyme in their stomach that keeps you alive? Whatever.
