I was fine with Obama. A little too competent at playing the game, maybe, but the shitshow at the DNC isn’t on him.

Trump is either not going to survive June or he’s going to get the nomination. It’s the last few weeks before the GOP starts moving the wheels one way or the other or both.

I think Warren/Abrams 2024 makes sense.
Elizabeth Warren more than bloody DESERVES to be picked as VP. Stacey Abrams should get a Cabinet post. Then, when Biden steps down - I really don’t see him as more than one term, sort of an interim rich-old-white guy to kind of smooth the way for Ms. Warren - she chooses Ms. Abrams as her running mate.
I know. It’s not fast enough for everyone. Folks want it all RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, and our bloody microwave culture served on 80 bazillion channels encourages that. But look how long it took humans to walk up right and develop logic - and then do them both at the same time?

Quite a few haven’t reached that point yet. I’m not confident that the majority has. But everybody deserves the right to vote.

Unfortunately, we still have that problem. Georgia with the sealed return envelopes? What I don’t get is why folks didn’t just open the top of the sealed return envelopes and put their absentee ballots in, then seal it with tape, staples, flour-and-water paste - whatever they may’ve had on hand. Steaming just takes too much time.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said his office has opened an investigation to determine what went wrong in Fulton and DeKalb counties - two areas that experienced many problems.
As if he doesn’t know. I wonder if they could get the DNA of the republican lackeys who sealed them on purpose from the envelopes.

The defense will be:
(Said by a man with a heavy south-eastern accent, a crew cut and wearing a short-sleeve dress shirt) “This is Georgia. It’s the summer. It gets hot, it gets humid. Stuff like this just happens all the time.”

And then it would be rejected for having the slit across the top, I’m guessing.

may such arrogance cost them dearly.

If they keep rigging it like they have been, they can possibly get a landslide. If it was a fairish election, I’d expect the land to slide the other way. Even with the alternative being Biden, as unvoteworthy as he is.

I hope so. Honestly, if it’s not a landslide, I’m going to be concerned. And it will be meaningless if the GOP retains the Senate, too, because that will ensure a continued obstruction by McConnell.

Not Too Seriously: Abrams, Raimondo, Hassan

edit: Stacey Abrams is in the Not Too Seriously column, unfortunately.

Right-wing conservatives campaigning for a right-wing conservative doesn’t surprise me. Slap a big ‘D’ on the label, but the Democrats have shifted so far right in recent years it doesn’t really have any meaning anymore.
It’s so weird to think we’re now reliant on K-pop kids to tiktok a campaign that gets enough people to write-in Bernie Sanders, and that’s our only real hope. To totally subvert the system by getting enough people to vote for a candidate that isn’t even listed. Via kids’ memes.
But apparently tiktok’s getting blocked a lot of places now ostensibly due to the fact that China has control of it, but they always did. Why is it suddenly a problem now, when elections are coming up? Is that just convenient chance?
At this point in 2020, conspiracy theories don’t even take any effort anymore.
