I like how one of their points of evidence is a only kinda sort of expensive camper trailer. Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with the people maintaining a public resource like that being able to go on camping trips lmao.

You say that as if the DNCs campaign strategy wasn't to absolutely abandon the left and try to court "moderate republicans", which we very obviously just learned don't actually exist.

From what I understand, it primarily stems from that first stipulation, specifically from points 1 and 4 of the Helsinki Accords

(1) Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty (4) Territorial integrity of states

That said, it was very clearly done in a way that didn't actually guarantee that protection, and assuming that the Ukrainians thought otherwise is frankly an insult to their intelligence.

Turns out being a racist shithead is in no way determined by your race or ethnicity.

We can't either

It's fucking infuriating. It's a constant cycle of electing in dipshits that fuck everything up, spending the next 4 years fixing all their bullshit through ballot measures, and then reelecting them.

Every stereotype about us Missourians being idiots is 100% true.

I should have clarified. I mean silly (fun) not silly (ridiculous)

The most likely path at this point is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a collection of state legislative measures, state constitutional amendments, etc. aimed at using the electoral college against itself. The very short tldr is once >=270 electoral votes worth of states have passed something enacting it, all those states' delegates will vote in line with the national popular vote regardless of how their individual state votes, forcing the popular vote winner to be president.

Whether or not it'll survive judicial challenge if/when it gets to >=270 electoral votes worth of states is entirely unclear. In theory, there's nothing they should be able to do about it, but SCOTUS has shown time and time again it doesn't actually give a fuck about the constitution.

Hell, a large portion of us outside of grad and hexbear don't exactly like Harris. Sure is a helluva lot better than a bald faced fascist though.

That's simply not true, but by happenstance the particular communists in question are tankies.
