Wow. I think the six people on the planet Earth who didn’t see this coming after the buyout last year will be shocked.

I mean we’ve even got a bingo card so to say of what to expect.

You’ll have a ton of people jumping down your throat about how not voting for her is a vote for Trump and all this nonsense

I'm just going to add here, that when I'm indicating this kind of thing what I'm hoping for folks to get out of it is how broken our first past the pole system is.

Because of that system, yeah, 3rd party candidates are tossing your vote away, that's how the system is created. I didn't make it, that's just how it works. It's also why the hard nationalist group usurped the party of small government. There's a realization that a realistic third party isn't possible, especially with how hard the two majority parties prevent 3rd parties from having an equal seat at the table going into elections. So the smarter groups have realized that if you can't effectively make a 3rd party, just take over an already existing one. You can also see that with socialist and the Democrats intermixing. We keep excusing it by indicating "shades" of a color, like deep blue Democrats, etc.

There's layers to the "voting 3rd party is tossing you vote away". You aren't at fault here for a desire to vote 3rd party, but if the only thing you take away when someone tells you that is "you're worthless for tossing your vote in the trash" you're kind of missing the point.

Our system is built a particular way and it's wrong to pretend it isn't. That 3rd parties are viable choices or actual reflections of non-mainstream political agenda, they aren't and our tectonic sized two parties are mostly the reason for that. I'm not going to tell you to vote for whoever, all I ask for anyone is to see the problem and know voting 3rd party isn't, strictly, going to fix it. If we look at the US State of Maine, you can see, that there is actual change and that we can have it if we demand it, no need for hard bordered in 3rd parties to enact it.

I'm not angry at anyone who says they are voting 3rd party, you do you is my biggest jam. But we've got to see the problem before we can address the problem, and then we need to effectively address the problem. Which means, yeah, we are wholly reliant on something that sounds impossible. For one of the two parties to get into power and then vote to make changes that could potentially dilute their power. I know that's asking for a big leap of faith there, it is possible. But it isn't possible if we're just sticking our heads into the sand.

Not the article title, but way more clever.

How dare women have an opinion on our laws that we created that reduce their body autonomy?

Vance stated he was unaware of Upton’s past mental health struggles and refused to apologize, dismissing the incident as a joke.

Yes. This is exactly what bullies do. “If I hurt you then it was a joke and you should get over it.”

The group that the Republican ticket accurately represents is breathtakingly small. But it seems it is mostly folks who run on hate and spite. You know, bullies.

Honest question as I only use Windows every once and a while. Can you get to that disk management thing from the Control Panel? The one that looks like gparted.

I'm not catching where he's coming off "mad" so to say. He's saying that Cinema and TV have kind of swapped and that's almost true here. Now I'm nowhere as near definitive in that stance that "it's a bay way", maybe it's for the better for the two to swap for the time. But I think he's got a point in that Cinema is just chasing the dollar and kind of left "art" for whatever that means behind.

I guess it just really depends on what a particular person feels that cinema's purpose should be. If it's just here to entertain, then it's doing quite well at that, in fact this is likely the golden times of that. If it's here to be an expression of art, yeah, it's completely failed at that with the formulaic rehashing it's slumped into.
