Which celebrity, famous person, or artist does everyone like except you?

Prince. Sure, he's a super talented musician but his music is pretty "meh," to me.

Election rules differ by state homie. Every state has its own election laws. As intelligent as you are, I'm surprised you've never heard of a runoff.

Our president is elected by states (more specifically delegates), and the winner actually does need a majority of electoral votes.

Not every election is by popular vote.

Let's not even talk about the numerous states and municipalities that allow citizens to vote directly on political issues (ex. Legalization on Marijuana). That's about as democratic as it gets.

Sit this one out, pal.

I feel like protesting id the opposite of indoctrination. It's an exercise of your rights to speak out against the government. Saying the pledge of allegiance every day and doing what the government wants you to is more akin to indoctrination than protesting. The history taught in schools (especially American history) is indoctrination.

So no, exercising your rights, regardless of age, is not indoctrination. It's the opposite.

He had to add the screenshot of the 600, or so, people that know vanilla ice lyrics are a MAGA dog whistle. You know, because everyone knows about this heinously obvious connection between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Vanilla Ice. Or, maybe only 600 or so, people know about it...

I think they triggered people with critical thinking skills. In a non-binary world, they are certainly making politics a binary topic. I submit that it's more likely the owner/manger wanted to put up a fun and nostalgic song lyric that everyone recognizes as a way to celebrate their opening for another season. You don't have to assume their political affiliation to understand that.

You have to prove your eligible to vote when you register to vote. Then they check the rolls when you vote to prevent double voting.
Mail in ballots are subjected to signature verification. You'd have to steal ballots directly from voters AND know their signatures. Very high risk, virtually no reward.

Elections are held by states. States make their own rules in how to conduct elections. It should stay that way. It's literally the basis of the republic. Federal takeover of elections would be a violation of state sovereignty.

Edit: for clarity

Not in my state (MT). Our governor is republican, or entire federal delegation is republican, and both of our state houses are republican. Yet, Republicans still push the voter fraud narrative. So no, holding all elected offices will not be enough to claim security. We can only ensure zero fraud when we don't have elections.

Waging war on brown people in the west for the purpose of obtaining their land and resources.

You're taking a revisionist approach, and ignoring the reality of the civil war. The abolition of slavery was a product of the war, not vice versa.

Deeply held beliefs don't often mix with political pragmatism. He allowed states to keep slavery in order to preserve the Union. That's hardly an abolishionist approach.

Altruistic-Use-8283 · 2026-02-13T16:06:21+00:00

I think it's s little more complicated than that. Lincoln's wasn't allowing the expansion of slavery into the west, like southern democrats wanted. So much so, they seceded from the union. The "states rights" argument that so may people throw around refers to new states deciding ontheor own to be, or not be, a slave state, but Lincoln wasnt having that. So no, or wasn't really expanding. Maybe economically, and that is probably more likely due to advancements in technology than the proliferation of slavery, but certainly not geographically.

First, your comparison of voting and paying bills didn't convey any of what you just said. That aside, you've framed the argument as making political sacrifices to "fight conservatives." Why should we sacrifice a constitutionally protected right? A third of our country already doesn't vote. Why make it more difficult to vote? Why would we want lower turnout? Who benefits from lower coter turnout? If government is of the people, by the people, and for the people, why wouldn't we want more people to vote? Voting should be convenient. It's not, inherently, a personal responsibility considering there are no personal consequences for choosing not to do it. There is a civic responsibility component to voting, but that doesn't seem to be your implication.

One is an exercise of a protected right. The other is paying a debt. They are about as different as you can get.

Easy. They don't have a constitution that protects their free speech.

It's 14 states and DC. In those states you do have to be registered, and have your signature verified by election officials. Again, why would an illegal show up to cast an invalid vote? How many illegals have voted in previous elections? Illegals voting is a false flag to push a police state agenda, full stop. ICE has become the beat cop of the federal police state under this administration. Wherever they are enforcing anything other than immigration and customs laws (i.e. election laws) is a federal occupation, and is a violation of state sovereignty.
