Interesting tidbit about that provision in the 12th amendment! So we will for sure not have Gavin Newsom as the VP (or Katie Porter, Adam Schiff, or anyone else from CA).
Also let's just scrap the electoral college entirely

Fediverse vs Disinformation

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

I've started to see a lot of posts from here recently, and while I like the concept of this community, not putting the answer into the titles means it's just posting clickbait articles. If you're open to changes that would make for much better content, even if just adding (true) (false) or (it's complicated)
Thanks for the feedback, I'll add that to future posts in the description. Those were all the OG article titles btw... journalists amiright? :p
I learned from my journalism college courses that the journalists aren't the same ones that write the headlines. One example I wrote: 'One Less Car' Event Aims for Fewer Cars on Road. That and a pretty funny one about abortion were how I learned that tidbit.
False.
I honestly don't care if he lives in the same house. All I care about is that trump isn't successful in stealing the election somehow.
Even if he loses, he'll say he won. You shouldn't be allowed to play checkers saying that, but he's running for president. He's done it once.
I think it was Dick Cheney who 'relocated' from Texas to Wyoming to be Dubya's running mate.
But in Harris' case, a California-heavy ticket ignoring the Midwest could spell disaster.
It's not against the rules but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to do it.
