Triumph

The US federal government does not operate elections. States do, and they all do it a little differently. However, so far as I am aware, each state only requires you to register once, and applies all the different districts from your address. Even so, US House districts also depend on your address within a state; those are not statewide offices.

There are many different voting districts, each one depending on where you live, and they overlap and don’t in all sorts of ways. It’s not just “what state do you live in”.

If the process in this Tennessee county is as described in the article, it’s not unfair. Playing fuck around with voter registrations that have no issues is something else entirely.

You know, this is not unfair.

Most of those purged were cut from the rolls in March, before anyone knew a special election was coming.

They were cut from the rolls after the Davidson County Election Commission sent letters to voters more than two years ago, that were returned as undeliverable.

People whose letters were returned were purged after they did not vote in two consecutive November elections.

“We don’t purge anyone 90 days before an election,” Roberts said.

He said people purged may have moved or died.

Roberts said if someone was purged, and they come to vote in the primary election they can re-register to vote for the general election, which is on December 2.

This tracks.

Butter side down.

Por que no los dos

Just wait until they build one on the back of a snail.

You’d probably get fewer hallucinations.

… Wouldn’t the flight path be over the South Pole?

They differ in one major way: the economy was straight booming in the late 90s, and not in just a “rich people passing more money around amongst themselves” way. That dot com boom did end with a bunch of startups going bust, but it was also part of the process of building the internet we have today. Lots of hardware, lots of cabling, lots of towers, lots of people employed in making, installing, configuring, maintaining. In the end, the dot com boom created something.

This “AI” thing is a lot more “pouring barrels of money into literal incinerators”.

Hey, you’re that mango expert

And there’s no way to go back to “the way it was before.” There will be revolution. The only questions are when and what it’s going to look like on the other side.

Quality over quantity.

They have been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric …

lol no. I’ve been radicalized by the fascists who have taken over the entire federal and many state governments.

Yup, and the side that loses is the side that wasn’t violent enough.

Violence works, otherwise there wouldn’t be any. We’ve put up a whole system of laws and police and investigators and courts and prisons in order to provide an alternative to violence. And even then, that system is itself backed up with a real threat of violence as well as its occasional localized deployment.

Yesterday’s “pep rally” where none of the military leaders dragged in had anything good to say about it suggests that there is not the overwhelming military support that Trump wants there to be. There are plenty of examples of far less powerful local forces successfully standing up to superpowers. Afghanistan is one. Wallachia is another.

When the entire federal government and many state governments have wholly abandoned the systems put together to avoid violence, and are in fact using the husks of those systems to apply violence to their opponents, we’ve already crossed the Rubicon.

I’ll get my pikey.
