I'm pretty positive this is a bullshit meme and that bloomberg poll was from mid June of 2016.

The polls tightened at the end, especially following Comey's October Surprise.

Nevertheless, we should fight like we're 10 points behind.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

See above I posted the article to the Bloomberg poll from October 16th that showed Clinton up 9 points.

That was before Comey "re-opened" the hEr EmAiLs case though.

Please remember... national polls mean nothing as we do not have national elections!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Donald Trump was illegitimately placed into power by a corrupt and broken electoral system. That was the real stolen election. Same with Bush v Gore.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

This is some real MAGA Republican energy. She lost. It was illegitimate. It wasn't corrupt.

Just let's not let it happen again.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not quite the same as Bush V. Gore because they stopped the counting in Florida.

Had Florida been accurately counted, Gore won. This wasn't discovered until it was too late.

In Clinton's case, she legit lost enough states to lose the electoral college, no recount would have helped her.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I see the electoral college itself as illegitimate and with it, the US is not a democracy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Whether you recognize it or not doesn't change the fact that it's constitutionally mandated.

Several states are trying to fix that, but it's still short of what's needed:

209/270 - 61 to go!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yes. That's a different conversation, though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I'm waiting on my ballot here in Germany

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You guys need a real democracy. This is just madness

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Do Americans even realise that in other countries that isn't north korea or russia, the president or representative of the country isn't treated like a popstar?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

sounds silly, how is the president supposed to lead if they aren't on the news constantly?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course we do. The problem is that those that understand are drowned out by loud incoherence of holding on to the past. If you have ONE thing you disagree about it's over. There is no more of an intelligent discourse. It turns into a sling fest of who is more right and we all lose.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone I know thinks our two party system is shit, but at the same time they think we are stuck with it and that it is a waste of time to worry about things we can't change.

They're wrong. We could change it if we all collectively demanded a better system. We are only powerless because we choose to believe we are powerless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The problem is most people are mostly concerned with their personal status quo. Change is scary and all the negative change doesn't count so long as it doesn't affect them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The problem is that the system is designed to represent them and they are no longer representing us in a fashion that suits our needs. The problem is that accountability is further and further away from where it was and going back means defeating the corporations. It's a very tall task.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Aussie here. Legitimately don't even know who our Prime Minister is... Not hard to find out, just don't remember their name

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably something like Bazza, or Albo, or Slowmo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nar, I actually know. It's Albo. Slowmo was the previous guy. (And Bazza I just made up.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

See, now here I was thinking all of them were made up but now I see Albanese as Albo... But don't recognise slomo...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Slowmo is me mocking Scomo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Aaaaaahhhhhh I'd forgotten we had a prime minister named "Scott"

Thanks, please never say that again

Votetexas.gov

Has not only the linked voter registration check, but also has important dates, polling locations and hours, and other information.

Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. If you don't want to wait in a line, don't put off voting until the last day. Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week of voting and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day of voting!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Total side note because I could find anything on it. Why is it "Get Out The Vote" and not "Get Out To Vote"?

The popular one doesn't seem to make grammatical sense, is this some older form of grammar hanging around in a popular slogan?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

"Get out to vote" is a direct instruction. It means you personally should go and vote.

"Get out the vote" means you should get everyone else out to vote. "Vote" is being used as a mass noun that you want to make as large as possible -by getting it out and making sure people turn up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Oooooooooh, yes thank you. This will stop bothering me now 😌

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I said this a ton for the 2020 election, and will scream it until my lungs give out for this one...

...anything other than vote for Harris is a vote for the orange turd. And with the crap they've already passed coupled with the shit that's been leaked...there is a good chance that if she doesn't win this may be the last free election

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Only if you're in one of the 6 or whatever states where it makes a difference. The electoral system is so fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You're making it sound like one of the candidates wants to dismantle the american quasi-democracy and rule as a dictator, where on earth did you get that idea?

What, just because one of the candidates has loudly and proudly proclaimed that they indend to start their term by ruling as a dictator?

And because that same candidate has said "In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote."?

Remember Remember the 5th of November, So there's hopefully no gunpowder treason or plot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would be fun to burn effigies of Trump as a holiday though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, I could do it, but it still won't be a national holiday.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Fair point! I'd love to see the reaction of my maga neighbor with his handwritten signs about what morons and traitors Harris voters are.

Actually, it would probably involve violence or vandalism so I'd rather not. But, if I believed he would keep his hands and bullets to himself...
