Read the explanations. Had they not moved everything while they could, it was VERY likely everything would have gone down. The old arrangements were unstable and collapsing due to one person who should never have had that much power over the site.

Let's not be defeatist from the jump. The ONLY immediate requirement is that the new party (if it happens) be able to toss the GOP into the dustbin of History. Once that happens, then all is possible. The GOP MUST die.

Good. The vote cant be won BUT it can be used to call out and identify those GOPE drones that want Trumpism to just die. Thats the reason McConnell did NOT want this at all. GOPe Senators will FINALLY have to self-identify. There are only a dozen that are worth anything. Maybe even fewer.

Private Internet Express is excellent and the CHEAPEST of the major players. I have used ti for years without any issues.

I'm not 100% SURE of anything these days. I don't think anyone should be. Covid survival rate levels of sure are aces with me.

He's a mercenary. If he wanted out, he would get out. He wants what he now has. His act is to convince you that he is NOT one of 'them'. But when the rubber hits the road, he is.

I do care about exposing electoral fraud and i do care about Trump remaining President. BUT, I still support DJT, President or not. He deserves my support and he will have it going forward, no matter what happens or what he chooses to do. He has proven that he is a great President and a great man. Not perhaps winning a fixed race doesn't change that at all.

He is nothing more than a hired hand. His money comes way before any personal principles. He's no different than any of the others who take orders at Fox. I'm not signaling him out for this. I'm just saying that people should choose their models of behavior a little more carefully. When push comes to shove, Carlson isn't going to make any waves.

There are ways to get almost everything on TV, with the possible exception of live sports. It's not hard. And you are NOT giving the propagandists anything. Start with getting a VPN and go from there. Kodi + Addons. Just saying. If you are interested.

So did I ,but it's not clear at all what the graph really is intended to show. Is this just early votes against early votes in the years highlighted ? What is the trend-line for this graph in 2020 ? This graph is really not very helpful, but I guess it's good news I just don't understand yet.

Because they have a LOT of cash and can't spend it fast enough elsewhere. They have in fact TOO much cash. It leads them to over-saturate markets and people just tune out everything when that happens. And of course they are running a REALLY bad campaign based on only one thing. FEAR. The FEAR has probably worked just as much to depress their own turnout as it has to motivate their deranged supporters. Good news in any event.

Big Deal. The Senate GOP is useless. They should do something unpleasant to the tech cabal or offer to resign their seat because they cannot do so. Because what Twitter and the others are doing is a direct perversion of any real sense of a 'democratic Republic'.

I think this sums up Trumpism. No-one CARES what you are. Only what you THINK. Good for these two persons. Different but the same.

It will cancel a few rallies, but otherwise, it's probably a good thing to slow down anyway. As was said earlier here, when he soon recovers as he is asymptomatic, people will see and hear directly that this is VASTLY over-hyped as a killing plague. It's almost guaranteed that most everyone WILL get this in some form. Only the timing is in question.

I don't have a real problem with this IN THEORY. And here's why ---. ELEMENTARY Pollical Science deals in social /economic cohorts and if you look at the stats , there is a firm connection between some things and voting habits. There just is. As an example, how do you think that they can do exit polling which IF done correctly is VERY predictive of the end results ? Don't believe me ? Look at the UK election in 2019 and look at the exit polling. It was almost completely on target. People DO tend to vote in certain ways AS A COLLECTIVE group. As I said, in theory this is an OK assignment and COULD lead to increased thinking about both society and your individual vote. But the way the vile education system might use this to bad effect is also obvious. No-one should allow this in their school UNLESS they are sure that the teachers are not indoctrinated drones. Unhappily they mostly ARE indoctrinated drones.

Don't go by the polls. Rasmussen has been odd lately. VERY volatile. In any event the results of the debate are not going to be profound either way. For several reasons. A. Way fewer people watched the mess. B. Distrust of the MEDIA is at very high level. C. Most people had already decided. D. Of those who watched, the polls say that only a minimal fraction said that it might change their minds.

Just get out and vote and convince others to do so if you can. Forget the polls. Watch what the candidates are doing.

Both insufferable AND not very bright. It's a great combo. I no longer watch Fox at all. At all.

Why does anyone bother even going to Redditt at all ? Seriously. Everyone knows what is going to be the result. Redditt is propaganda and fascist in thinking. I don't see the attraction of slumming in a garbage dump, just to get banned.

Never liked or respected Mike when he was fighting. His 'issues' kept getting in the way. But since he has just been Mike, he has proven to me that there is a LOT going on inside that was invisible to me before.

He's already decided. The delay is only as a courtesy to account for the funeral. Everything has already been arranged in the Senate so the extra days matter not at all.

As bad as Romney is, let's be honest here, he is NOWHERE near as bad as the twit from Alaska who is in a field of stupid all by herself. It always take one to be identified as the worst of the worst and Murkowski has that position well and truly locked up. You can often depend on Romney actually representing his voters. The twit only represents herself and her petty frenzies.

I don't really think the dude laughing is a great advert for those of us not insane. Honestly he presents -------- POORLY.

And yeah, the loons ARE insane. Think of how many Millennial women are out there that are basically not far from this complete disaster.

Oh but she can be. If not that is Academy Award level of acting. The old Academy Award level, not the modern one.

At this point, I'm firmly of the belief that 'the worse, the better' is the only way to go. BLM is a complete boil upon society since it argues in bad faith all the time and has an agenda that isn't what it pretends to be. And it's supported by a lot of loons who can't be bothered to THINK about anything.The only real solution for a boil is to lance it. Because it isn't going away on its own. This is a sad state of affairs but here we are and nothing is gained by denial. Let it all blow up because it's headed that way in any event.
