  • Also, it will take a few days for all votes to be counted, in more populous areas, California, west coast. Don't know where it will land, but I think it's clear that D's especially did not vote in great numbers.

  • In concession speech, Harris says "when we lose an election, we accept the results"

    Jump

  • Happily voted Harris, to defeat the christian fascists. But I think her concession confirms that she was never going to be the fighter we needed.

    First, Democrat's gamble on pushing aside the progressive core (thanks to incorrect reading of Biden popularity and protests over Israel's genocide) in favor of a coalition of former Republicans and mythical "decent conservatives" was a huge red flag. It has now proved absolutely catastrophic.

    Second, "the high road" has rarely extracted more than the absolute minimum at the slowest possible pace. This election proved it has failed us. Peace is not an option anymore. Unfortunately, we're going to need to fight ruthlessly for every inch. Entrenched billionaire oligarchs, funding literally insane religious extremists and domestic terrorists. They will gleefully turn up the heat on our formerly cold civil war with their brutality over the next few years.

  • Yup, even my friend Fred the Fungi was just yapping about this, told me to follow the money.

  • Harris distances herself from Biden's 'garbage' comment: 'I strongly disagree' with criticizing people based on their vote

    Jump

  • I hope by conservatives they meant Republicans (the MAGA cult of fascists and deranged lunatics). We'll see if there are enough conservatives that are "vehemently opposed" to all of this soon enough. The Harris team definitely thinks so, for what it's worth.

    The people that still insist on voting for Trump, for possibly the third time, after a decade of this madness... can't blame anyone for losing patience and avoiding them. It's tragic, but the cult is real and has detached people from reality.

  • Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia

  • I love that this is a headline by (checks notes)... AP and PBS. During the most critical point in the election.

    Trump's addled brain continues to spiral, obviously exhausted, wildly deranged, incapable of focus or discipline. "Elder abuse" some would question. "Weekend at Bernie's" others would observe, noting the billionaires behind him, desperately hemorrhaging cash to prop him up.

    And yet, almost one hundred million Americans will still vote for him. What a magical time to be alive.

  • November Could Determine Future of Ranked Choice Voting in US Elections

    Jump

  • I have no doubt there are ordinary people saying this, but yes, they are probably just regurgitating the lies that are fed to them (by the usual suspects). It is not difficult, they've never experienced it, but they are still afraid of it (surprise).

  • November Could Determine Future of Ranked Choice Voting in US Elections

    Jump

  • If ranked choice is not in our future, our future is dire. If it's "too difficult", we shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

    'Life Is Complicated’: How a Scourge of Oligarchs Fell in Love With One

    Natalia Morari once reported on corrupt business in Moldova. Now she has upset many by having a son with a tycoon accused of corruption, and running against the pro-West president in elections.

    Feted by many fellow journalists and Western diplomats as a fearless scourge of corrupt oligarchs, Moldova’s most popular television host torched her soaring career and stellar image three years ago with a startling life choice.

    She fell in love and had a child with one of her country’s most notorious and, according to prosecutors, most corrupt oligarchs.

    Ostracized by many of her onetime friends and admirers, Natalia Morari, 40, has now caused yet more dismay by refashioning herself into a politician. She no longer works for the independent, award-winning television station she founded in 2006, and is running for president in an election on Sunday against the incumbent, Maia Sandu, the standard-bearer of a pro-European cause for which the journalist was for years a prominent champion.

  • Definitely check voter registration. Quick and easy at state or county website. And register any change of address (along with updating ID, DL).

    I usually remember to check about a month before election, or when I see a new illegal "voter purge" in the news (always GOP).
