e: FairVote Action, a non-partisan group working towards election reform.

Join to help them grow and give this issue a larger voice, and don’t wait until autumn 2027 (which is often what happens and which is too late). This needs a sustained and noisy effort so those in charge are made to start listening.

I’ve started name checking them in threads such as this one for visibility. I’d like to see this problem addressed as soon as possible, and it ain’t fixing itself.

She was not authorised to allow access, whatever the reason. You don’t get to break the law just because you think you have a reason.

Regardless, it was to tamper (or to find a way to tamper, more specifically).

I’m so tired of hearing about this woman.

Previous First Ladies have become champions for some cause (whether it’s a cause I agree with or not – looking at you Nancy), but Melania is MiA until she’s hawking a book, and now she’s all over my feeds.

Just kindly fuck off to obscurity until your sugar daddy gives you the payout for being his side piece. Nobody cares.

Not to mention doxxing, swatting, brigading, trolling, ban evasion.

Pence rummaged in the law’s panty drawers looking for a loophole, and when he couldn’t find one, he called Dan Quayle to ask if there was any way at all he could violate his duty and support trump. Only after Quayle told him no multiple times did he finally, begrudgingly decide he had to certify it.

Let’s not give Pence more credit than he deserves.

It shouldn’t be a hard sell, either, because the president specifically doesn’t have any official duties surrounding the election. This would defeat the entire purpose.

The vice president doesn’t either, as was made clear by that conversation between Pence and Dan Quayle:

Over and over, Pence asked if there was anything he could do.

"‘Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,’ Quayle told him.

"Pence pressed again.

"‘You don’t know the position I’m in,’ he said, according to the authors.

“‘I do know the position you’re in,’ Quayle responded. ‘I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That’s all you do. You have no power.’”

source: How Dan Quayle saved democracy. Yes, really.

Quick correction: he bankrupted multiple casinos, at least some of which were fronts for Russian money laundering.

He is dumb. Hitler was an idiot, too.

Being a moron makes autocrats more dangerous, not less, because they’re more easily swayed by evil opportunists, and are more likely to make deadly, impulsive decisions without thinking them through.

Ha, called it.

Calling it now:

Since there’s not enough time left for him to recover from this brutal ego bruise, I predict he’ll only do rallies from now on, or appearances on far-right media, because he’ll retreat to his snowglobe for reassurance for a while. He’ll avoid addressing Kamala directly, but he’ll ramp up his own network and rile up his mob. His team will struggle to rein him in, and some appearances might be cancelled.

I can’t watch anymore. Vance is riling me up too much and I’m not seeing enough pushback.

Cheers all, it’s been … interesting.

Fuck you, you don’t know difficult.

I don’t know how much more of Vance’s bullshit I can listen to. And especially his church bullshit. We’re not all young girls (my son is 27) wanting to be livestock in a church community. Some of us are atheists. But I guess I should just go die because I’m not useful anymore.

No, you dick. Walz was right and everything you said wasn’t true. Everything got worse under trump, and I have fucking receipts.

Ha, fuck you. My life was destroyed by disability, and the only drug that was helping me went from $250 a month to $3000 a month between 2015 to 2017. Everything got worse, to the point I can’t even afford to live.

This especially pisses me off.

Fuck you Vance and fuck everything you just said. It’s all lies.

Kamala Harris is not the president, and you’re a liar.

Your party has relentlessly fought against the working class, which is why we’re struggling and destitute, even after decades of working for the scraps we have.

You’re a liar Vance.

Pass the bill!

This is probably the best moment of this debate.

That was a really good answer from Walz, actually.

Honestly, ‘look over there!’ is basically their whole platform.

He’s actually not doing great. He should be wiping the floor with Vance. It’s a bit disappointing, yeah.

Vance has stepped in it a few times, and Walz hasn’t grabbed the moment. I agree.

Stronger locks!!

Good lord, what a moron.

I don’t know the details, but I’ll talk about identity politics instead of addressing the number 1 problem right now.

e: and loop back to the border!!
