OT: American Politics

[hockeylover]

isn't it illegal to take a photo of your ballot? or is that only here?

depends what state you're in

(it'll always be crazy to me that the rules are so wildly different across the country there)

Because Putin made a joke on Russian TV that everyone in Russia knows was a joke but the American right wing thinks was totes serious.

I wanted him to explain it in his own words

do you actually believe Putin prefers Kamala to Trump?

if yes, why?

Kamala would keep arming Ukraine. Trump wouldn't.

Yes, she's incompetent, weak, indecisive, and an idiot.

Yes, she's incompetent, weak, indecisive, and an idiot.

She is none of those.

Trump is all of those.

 

[Wayward DP]

you think Putin prefers as President the woman who would continue arming his country's current chief adversary, Ukraine? when Trump has said he'd basically give it to Russia?

how does that make any sense?

Mine are better words tho...

 

[hockeylover]

think my guess so far would be... mi, pa, wi, ga, nv.

less confident in nc and az.

Just let her in your heart. She'll make you laugh again too. It's okay, just let it happen.

As weird as it sounds, this probably looks more bad for maga than good.

that Other group being so massive throws me off. not entirely sure what to make of it.

I mean they're both fairly intelligent and competent and strong and decisive. Not awesomely so but decent enough.

It's just that one is a normy that believes in democracy and the rule of law, while the other's a giant manbaby wannabe dictator that thinks that's woke shit for sissies.

nobody does.

also, if we assume ~12% of R's are voting Kamala...

Dunno if that holds statewide in Arizona though. Maricopa might see higher bleed though. I think 12% is super bullish though, I'm still in the 8-9% camp personally, but not even close to uniform. 4-5% in rural regions, maybe as high as 10% in urban area, places with an outsized impact from Dobbs (Iowa, Texas, etc).
