I've been hearing the people on "Morning Joe" ridiculing rank choice voting. I hope this does not harm the cause of that type of voting. So they are doing it for the first time and they are having some issues. I think it is still a good idea. As we've discussed I think it would be especially good for Presidential elections so that people who really favor a candidate outside of the two major parties can vote for that candidate without feeling like they are wasting their vote. They can still give their #2 vote to one of the major Party candidates. It would give us at least SOME hope of breaking the absolute grip the two major Parties have on power and I think that is sorely needed.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

But hey, yeah, lets convert ALL cars to electric by 2025 when we can't produce enough energy to heat and cool our homes.

Fucking retards, the lot of 'em.
Bro, CA politicos have been pimping electric cars...

Why do they have that many "test" ballots to begin with? That's a crap load of testing.

Repeat after me - barring a Constitutional change that would bring us to a more parliamentarian style of government, we will ALWAYS have two major parties dominate the American political landscape. Keep banging your head against the wall of 250 years of history and the wall of common sense. :rofl:

Heck, if they start reparations for black people, I‘m going to start identifying as black to get some reparations too..I might have some black in my family 6-8 generations back.. and I think Ancestry.com said 1% or less, or something like that. Isn‘t there a 1 drop rule? Afterall, I‘m probably as black as Pocahontas (Elizabeth Warren) is Cherokee..

If that's the case, since my wife and daughter at 10% and 6% African, respectively, do we get any money (or whatever benefit) or get a free pass from the tax that will ultimately pay for this? O

One of the big problem with reparations is that once you decide that, there's really no need for anything else. Reparations are it, the final straw, so if there are racial disparities after reparations then oh well. Unless of course we're talking perpetual reparations, and in that case that won't ever be agreed to.

I don’t think anyone has truly considered what an absolute goat rope it would be.

Do descendants of African immigrants after 1865 get them? The fraud from Nigerians alone will be epic on that one

If you can prove your ancestors came here post-slavery, do you pay?

Do Asians and Hispanics pay?

What about the descendants of black freedman slaveowners? I know some....

How much will reparations be? Cash payments? Special programs (we dont have enough of those already?)?

Since we like 5% inflation so much (heading to 10) that we want to kick start it to 12?

We are already at each others’ throats as it is. Acrimony, poison, violence - those are kind words for what we would become... and it won’t be just bad white people. It’ll be everybody.

AND- when reparations don’t result in any positive outcomes, what then?

What happens if 3 of your 32 great-great-great grandparents are black and slaves and the rest are white, do you get reparations?

Oh noes...
The handling of the border visit was the latest chaotic moment for a staff that’s quickly become mired in them. Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials. Much of the frustration internally is directed at Tina Flournoy, Harris’ chief of staff, a veteran of Democratic politics who began working for her earlier this year.

In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.

If you can prove your ancestors were slaves, you get reparations from people that can be proven to have ancestors that were slave owners. If you have both, and the slave DNA is greater than the slave owner DNA by 6.93 %, then you get reparations, otherwise you pay.
