Not sure which part you’re referring to, but in regards to stealing an election, I thought this recent video from Howtown to be really interesting! The US has a surprisingly robust election system and I wish more folks understood how it all works.

Well I’ll be damned. I can’t even with these people lol

And thanks, huge props for providing the receipts so quickly!

That’s not a real ad right?? That’s gotta be KHQ team having some Idiocracy-style fun with their tweet… right??

Fyi - “Below the fold” is a phrase borrowed from print media, which for digital content simply means anything below the current screen viewport that requires scrolling to access.

Fun fact: he’s younger than Brad Pit!

Also the format of the debates is pretty terrible. Giving only 2 minutes to answer on complex social and geopolitical topics only lends itself to trying to make the best sound-bite. I would love to see them experiment with longer form responses (even if that means fewer questions each debate), as well as things like cutaways for adding context and fact-checking.

Yep, it’s called dwell time and it is 100% one of the metrics used by the algorithms that decide what content to serve up.

Sure, but only if we had ranked choice voting.

Thanks for the link. Here’s the least bad news from the article:

Even more dispiriting for Americans who want to see real reform? The most optimistic view any of the campaign surrogates could offer Monday was a promise that Biden would at least “have conversations” about court reform that would be non-starters under Trump.

Crockett is part of a group of Democratic lawmakers advancing three separate pieces of court reform legislation — bills that would expand the court, implement term limits, and impose a binding ethics code on justices, respectively. “If we get the House, these are bills that we are going to try to push forward with,” Crockett said Monday. “I can guarantee you that if Trump is elected, he will never sign these into law.”

She added: “If Joe Biden is elected, we can at least sit down, have conversations and talk about why it’s important to institute these court reforms.”

For now, the prospect of future conversations is the most that Biden campaign surrogates can offer American voters — which is more than than the campaign itself was offering.

Yes, I just finished watching Pantheon and absolutely loved it!

Totally agree that it deserved more attention. At least it got a proper ending with season 2.

Also, the voice acting talent they got was impressive. Paul Dano was fantastic as one of the leads.

Was looking for the Pantheon reference in this thread! Just finished that show and loved it. Of course it takes plenty of liberties for the sake of the storytelling, but still, at least it explores these interesting topics!

Anyone reading this thread, do yourself a favor and check out Pantheon!

Mail forwarding doesn’t apply to all mail btw. For example, mail from the dmv.

After moving to a new place, I was expecting something from the dmv (had sent in the request months earlier before I knew I was moving). I had the mail forward in place, so figured I was good. I never received it, so eventually I called the dmv and they told me their mail is not redirected with a mail forward, and would just be returned to them.

I am curious if the same would apply to official election mail.

Ah, good catch I completely missed that. Thanks for clarifying this, I thought it seemed pretty off.

Also this one!
