Elections 2023-2024

That’s actually fanart version made by a furry artist LoupGarou!

(There’s also a female werewoof version behind the link; not open nudity, but fur-covered partially bare werewolf breasts, so be advised.)

Ah! I thought it was the actual Michigan sticker I had heard about but not seen.

Both are awesome but I’m loving that the official one was made by a 12-y/o who will always associate voting with positive feedback for their art.

I just want to say no matter what happens that I have been amazed by the quality of the campaign Harris has run since she started.

I was just thinking how prescient their choices have been.

I’ve barely been following BUT I’m sincerely impressed. It seems to me that the brightest and best of my generation and the one after mine at least have been recruited to the Dem causes and campaigns and it does not appear to be so for the GOP.

I’ve never been really about party. I don’t like feeling like my voting record is my identity and it still makes me prickly to feel that way at all. But… I’m truly impressed by the quality and if she DOES win I will be very very relieved and happy.

“But if Trump is forced into that situation for a second time, he’ll need a whole new legal team, as most of the people he relied on in 2020 have either been disbarred or indicted for their efforts during the first go-round.

Here’s a look at where Trump’s crackpot lawyers from his failed 2020 effort are now.”

Finding lawyers who’ll represent him and not get paid limits the quality of those willing.

we (mum and I) voted yes on the recreational cannabis amendment in florida.
I’m already a medical user, so it is really for the principal of the matter. cannabis should be legal, everywhere. and it pisses ron desantis off to no end!

My teevee says early exit polls show concern for democracy as the highest priority - over the economy - 35% to 33%.

That bodes well. Though it doesn’t guarantee anything.

This was so much fun, Walz rally in Downtown Detroit

We got there early because we had no idea what to expect. Security was tight but not crazy. They had actual TSA agents conducting the searches so it went pretty fast. Every one of the campaign workers was polite and very helpful. Standing in line was fun talking with a very diverse bunch of people.

A crap ton of very clean porta potties, a ton of Secret Service and Homeland Security agents and a bunch of food trucks. A very professional production.

It poured rain at several points in the evening but we were prepared with rain coats. Several of the speakers gave their speech in the rain.

We’ve seen the Detroit Youth Choir before, what an amazing group of kids. Funny thing(compared to the other guy and his mic), during their performance the soloists mics cut out but the kids did not miss a beat, they kept right on singing while the sound guys did their best to get the mics going. Instead of threatening the sound guys they just carried on and finished the song.

They got the mics working again so the kids just started from the top. Real pros.

Bon Jovi came out and said some words then did a song with War & Treaty, an awesome husband and wife duo from Michigan. Then he introduced special guest Micheal Stipe and they belted out an R.E.M. song. Bon Jovi came back out after Walz for another tune, I think it was being simulcast for the campaign.

Around 9 pm, they cut to a live feed of Walz in Wisconsin, Huh? This is going to be a late night. I talked to one of the campaign workers who shared a text with me from their team. Walz would be there by 10. No way.

Way. He finished his Wisconsin speech at 9, he showed up in Detroit less than an hour later. How the hell he did that is some sort of magic. His speech was great. His wife’s speech was also good.

The other bonus was Gretchen Whitmer showed up to introduce Walz. Her second in charge, Garlin Gilchrist, also gave a rousing speech. I really hope he makes it to governor in a couple years.

Our daughter’s invite got her right up front so she got to watch some of the behind the scenes stuff.

All in all a very fun evening but way past my bedtime,hopefully it all pays off.

If the dumbass era ends tonight, then his books could be a lot less fashionable and harder to sell.

A noble goal all by itself. I regularly get compliments on my “Ron Desantis is a Fascist” t-shirt… and I’m in Colorado.

According to the criminal complaint, Nicholas Wimbish, 25, of Milledgeville, Georgia, was serving as a poll worker at the Jones County Elections Office on Oct. 16 when he allegedly had a verbal altercation with a voter. Later that evening, Wimbish conducted online research to determine what information about himself would be publicly available. The following day, Wimbish mailed a letter addressed to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, purportedly from a “Jones County Voter.”

The letter was allegedly drafted to make it appear as if it came from the voter, such as by stating that Wimbish had “give[n] me hell” and that Wimbish was “conspiring votes” and “distracting voters from concentrating.” The letter threatened that Wimbish and others “should look over their shoulder,” that “I know where they go,” that “I know where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all them,” and that the “young men will get beatdown if they fight me” and “will get the treason punishment by firing squad if they fight back.” Further, the letter threatened to “rage rape” the “ladies” and warned them to “watch every move they make and look over their shoulder.” The letter concluded with a handwritten note, “PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe.”

All the crazy is coming out to play, it seems.

Walking around Detroit last night we came across this dumpster, seems appropriate.
