Those Presidential addresses with Nancy behind Trump are gonna be something else.
Good lord, the legal fight over all these ballots is going to take forever. Nelson may have a shot if that many ballots were disqualified for bad reasons.
Did he throw her away when he couldn't figure out how she worked?
Interesting development considering it was ruled in Georgia that signature mismatch wasn't a valid reason for a ballot to be tossed. That seems like such an easy way to go about wrongful disenfranchisement.
So with Democratic control of one chamber of Congress, do we expect to get better D representation in news media as guests? Or do we expect it to be highly tilted towards the GOP? Will be interesting to see. Of course, I mean on non-Fox sources, as we know that won't change.
You know, I have to sign my name sometimes dozens of times a day and if someone had never seen it before, they'd have no idea what my name is or what my signature looks like. So the idea that Utah matched the signature I put on one of those shitty ass digital pads for my driver license to my handwriten signature on my ballot is baffling to me, as is the concept that this is supposed to prevent voter fraud and not really just toss out a bunch of votes.
These leaves me wondering how often mail-in ballots are getting tossed in states. Do they have different standards in the more progressive states that encourage mail-in voting or is this commin?

I kind of get what she was trying to say here but her wording is oooof.

I just love the idea of a veteran, grizzled reporter like Rather using the phrase "hot take" XD
It sounds like they verified a ballot signature with a persons finger signature on a low DPI tablet when they received their state ID. I hate signing with my finger because it turns out looking like scribble. These days, I don't even try anymore and just swipe a straight line and hit submit. This is crazy.
We need a trigger warning before putting up a tweet with a picture of RBG and the words BREAKING. For a split second my mind goes into a dark place.
omg Rubio is spreading Canova's crank conspiracy theories now?
I can't wait for the melt down if Nelson and/or Gillum win the recount.
Pretty sure the problem is that quite frankly, human rights isn't something that should be debated, and doesnt really help if you are losing other policies to campaign on. Its defensive yes, but we want them to be on the offense and take back policies and call it theres so that way human rights can have a defense
There's nothing more they can do for her...
...because she's healthy and doing fine.
Well, I don't think the result is the same. I think one is substantively better than the other even if it feels as bad. What I mean is that someone like Trump will actively try to do everything he can to screw over minorities for the benefit of whites, while someone like Bernie will try to help minorities but only in a half-effective way. Bernie will not address all of the issues that minorities face because he lacks the understanding necessary to tackle racism on all fronts, but he won't make things worse and in some ways will make things better. In other words, one is insufficient but the other is downright awful.
Perhaps for me I don't see this as being too different from the Democratic Party in general, just from the other direction. Your generic white Democratic candidate probably doesn't care about minority issues to the extent that we would want them to, but they know how to talk about it better. Once in office they might try to do x or y policy that will help ameliorate things or, if we are lucky, maybe even try to tackle some issues as an institutional level within the scope that they're able to do so. But they will never target capitalism and imperialism, which I see as fundamental parts of the system that propagates racism. Bernie will target those (somewhat) but won't address some of the other issues.
A better candidate would be someone like an older and wiser AOC who is more familiar with minority issues and post-1960s leftist intersectional thought.
"And realized he'd forgotten wife" would be thread title material in another time
Notorious RBG cannot be stopped by mere physical limutations such as "gravity!"
