Why the fuck do you have your taskbar on the right of the screen?

Why the fuck is your mouse pointer not master race default?

I can’t take your point seriously because of this.

Also you don’t seem to have any porn on those tabs.

They did find the ballots though.

Because people sent them in the mail/posted them in the box/handed them in at their county clerk’s office/any other regular method of voting.

He just can’t accept he’s a loser.

Quote from: Zanzetkuken The Great
Nevada's 6 votes sound minor until you consider that if things would remain as current leaning, its 270 v 268.  If it flips, Trump wins.

Holy crap on a crapsicle-stick.

PA is sliding inexorably toward Biden anyway, so if the Dems lose their lead in Nevada but make it up there, that’s still a +14 swing for Sleepy Joe.

Oh hey Trump declared his victory a while ago.

I guess we should stop counting.

I have three cats, and two people in my house with corona.  Cats are fine, people are less fine but could be worse.

If Trump publicly took the pandemic as seriously as he appeared to in private, as per the Woodward recordings, you’re damn right there would be a material difference in the situation.

Trump is a hugely influential person, the fact he has not been wearing a mask or social distancing or anything approaching sensible has resulted in millions of people engaging in absolutely ridiculous behaviour and spreading a virus which needs a host to continue existing.

Fine, people are idiots, but they don’t need an arch-idiot encouraging them to continue being idiots.

That’s the extreme end of things, sure. Plenty of addicts are high-functioning enough to not be obvious addicted.
Yes, and those people don't fall into the category that was described, so nothing was said about them by anybody. :P

They’d still be thrown in prison if they got caught with it, and consequently lose their voting rights.

Objectively? On what basis are junkies any worse at democracy than literally any other group?
We're literally talking about people "passed out in broad daylight" on the street here, they're objectively worse at EVERYTHING than other people. If you are strung out in the street, you cannot possibly form a reasoned political opinion. Or any opinion. Or thought.

On the other hand, I'd be totally okay with allowing this with the proviso that I get to be the one to buy their votes in exchange for drugs.

That’s the extreme end of things, sure. Plenty of addicts are high-functioning enough to not be obvious addicted.

Contrast this with the perfectly reasonable, tee-total major candidate who has ignored medical experts for the entirety of a global pandemic, preferring instead to endorse treatments that have no evidence that they actually do anything to improve outcomes, was infected with the pandemic and still engaged in behaviour that was likely to spread the incredibly infectious disease.

So you're saying that the person needs to go to prison for it and lose voting rights and no longer be able to get a job in most places?
Objectively, a person who does that really shouldn't be voting or, frankly, in any kind of job that matters. Prison is an absurdity in such cases, but let's not get too trusting either.

Portugal decriminalised consumption of drugs in 2000, they’re not doing too bad.

If nothing else, it will be looked upon for its entertainment value.

I liked it, anyway.

It won’t be called today.

Worrisome regarding what that means if people get antsy if it looks like it’s going to take weeks rather than days.
