Aha! That episode with the ferns! Obviously they planted the ferns!

Yes; I wasn’t talking about how many plan to vote for Harris or Trump, but about the fact that in the current election format, not voting for Harris makes Trump more likely to win, as all other votes are protest votes that won’t actually elect a candidate.

Once FPTP is eliminated and states use a ranked voting system, your argument comes into play. But surely people in the LGBTQ community understand that not voting for Harris in this election means not caring that Trump gets elected?

I was very intentional in my wording.

Is it possible the GOP is attempting to defund the election so it can’t happen?

That’s not why you get those comments. Your behavior in the comments is. The volume and selection of articles is just the decoration.

Based on BC’s traditional water mismanagement and the rapid loss of glacial water due to global warming, pretty soon parts of BC are going to be running an annual water deficit. And that’s before we even get into wildfires.

That boggles the mind; 1/3 of LGBTQ voters are OK with Trump getting elected?

So essentially, the conclusion is that he acted on bad advice in what he thought were the best interests of Georgians, and was not part of the conspiracy to overthrow the government?

But he DID sign the falsified paper saying he was an elector and that he was selecting the candidate with fewer votes?

Oh, you know MTG? My condolences.

Well, we know R and D have flipped sides of the ideological scale before… maybe when the current R self-destructs, actual progressive liberals and socialists can claim the moniker for themselves….

The Democratic party is what it has always been… progressive conservative. What we’re seeing now is that this is much closer to the ideology of traditional Republicans than what the Republican party has become today.
