Yes, her name is already on the ballots, like RFK Jr is still on the ballots in many states, but the hope is her supporters will listen to her endorsement. Just because a person’s name is on the ballot doesn’t force people to vote for that person. Some people have voted already, some will continue to vote for her out of protest, some will continue to vote for her because they didn’t hear she dropped out or didn’t care. But the hope is enough people will hear that she dropped out and endorsed Harris that their votes will come through for Harris.

Response from Jill: Can you outbid Putin?

Maybe, maybe not. The fight could be a distraction to draw the air marshal into the open and into a vulnerable situation so that a highjacking can take place. As long as there isn’t immediate danger of loss of life, they might choose to let some guy get punched in order to continue their primary job of protecting 300 other people. Or they might step in.

The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s demonization of Latinos.

Makes sense to me.

No.

Because his base eats this up

In California we’ve spent $11 billion over 10 years with nothing active to show for it. 120 miles are under construction but aren’t finished or connected to anything. By the time the first usable section is completed (171 miles), it will be at $30 billion.

Was he charged with voter fraud or attempted voter fraud? For many crimes, attempting a crime is a separate crime that carries penalties even if not successful in the actual crime. Not sure if that is the case here.

Your argument is that it is on the system to deal with crime and that a person who commits a crime, even for what is perceived to be a good reason, should not be held liable for breaking the law?

I get that he didn’t actually commit the crime in this case, so there is plausible deniability. But criminal court treats attempting a crime as a crime itself, though with lesser penalties. And in your scenario a crime would have been committed.

The headline is blowing what actually happened way out of proportion. It’s a similar level of stupid as Philly.

I wouldn’t call a single group looting a single street corner and attempting to set one bus on fire, “tearing the place apart.”

Looting at several stores on one street corner in a city the size of LA… headline says “mass looting.” Maybe I’m just used to a different level of looting after big protests in the past, but that doesn’t sound like mass looting to me.

As much as I hate using cash, I understand that the credit card companies charge ridiculous fees to businesses and also that people with very low income don’t always have access to digital forms of payment. Maybe Sweden does better with equipping their entire society with digital tools, but in the US I don’t think we are ready for a fully digital payment society.

Old Volvos are basically tanks. A mid-80s 240DL is almost indestructible and is great for anti-gov assholes who don’t want the government spying on them.

In order to stop the genocide we need to vote in the people who will destroy the country and commit even more genocide, in the hopes the wreckage of the country can be salvaged into something better. I’m comfortable making this choice, because the extra genocide will only be happening to other people, not to people like me who look just like them over here in the states.

Well, you see, when every single time election fraud and election interference has been found it is only on the same side, then it tends to make people think there might be something going on in that one side.

There are more things to vote on than just the President. State representation is important.

What’s the downside? If they move away, you haven’t lost anything because they weren’t paying taxes anyway. If they stay, you have just gained tax revenue. And it isn’t like you are going to lose a lot of sales tax money or real estate tax money, since they are not going to stop visiting Paris and buying luxury goods and are not going to sell their properties (that’s why they are so wealthy in the first place).

Also, if they move away then you have fewer billionaires fucking up politics.

I’m not seeing anything about hating people. I’m seeing the point being made that there are still lasting repercussions to slavery to this day. The wealth and power gained from being a slaver was handed down, since wealth and power are both easily handed down and easily grown.

My memory is hazy, but I’m pretty sure Mozilla was a package and most people just didn’t install the rest of the package. Everyone called the browser Mozilla because they didn’t use the other parts. I could definitely be wrong, though.
