Aha! That episode with the ferns! Obviously they planted the ferns!

Yes; I wasn’t talking about how many plan to vote for Harris or Trump, but about the fact that in the current election format, not voting for Harris makes Trump more likely to win, as all other votes are protest votes that won’t actually elect a candidate.

Once FPTP is eliminated and states use a ranked voting system, your argument comes into play. But surely people in the LGBTQ community understand that not voting for Harris in this election means not caring that Trump gets elected?

I was very intentional in my wording.

Is it possible the GOP is attempting to defund the election so it can’t happen?

That’s not why you get those comments. Your behavior in the comments is. The volume and selection of articles is just the decoration.

It’s about time.

That boggles the mind; 1/3 of LGBTQ voters are OK with Trump getting elected?

So essentially, the conclusion is that he acted on bad advice in what he thought were the best interests of Georgians, and was not part of the conspiracy to overthrow the government?

But he DID sign the falsified paper saying he was an elector and that he was selecting the candidate with fewer votes?

Oh, you know MTG? My condolences.

Well, we know R and D have flipped sides of the ideological scale before… maybe when the current R self-destructs, actual progressive liberals and socialists can claim the moniker for themselves….

The Democratic party is what it has always been… progressive conservative. What we’re seeing now is that this is much closer to the ideology of traditional Republicans than what the Republican party has become today.

To add to that… register to vote, and check in to make sure you haven’t been culled from the list. And then vote before they have any excuse to remove you.

You can be legally deaf and still able to hear sound that’s really loud. Just like you can be legally blind but able to make out really vivid and bright images.

Wait… aren’t the Illuminati supposed to be aryan overlords themselves? What on earth would they gain by losing power in the US?

That whole thing doesn’t hold together on so many different levels….

I was wondering, since we got that story on Friday about the woman who admitted to starting the whole thing who was now upset and ashamed that it had gained national notoriety.

So it’s more that he took a news item he suspected was made up and ran with it anyway.

That requires three. With one, it sounds like the bigotry URL.

It’s a well documented issue tied directly to gambling…

I’d partially disagree here; a lot of people don’t know how to effectively communicate, and speak in cultural innuendo and clichés because that’s the language they think in. They don’t really fully understand what they, or the people they surround themselves with mean.

Think of it like the kid in elementary school that learns a new word or phrase and sees the reaction it gets when others use it, so they (over) use it themselves to get the same reaction without understanding what it actually means.

That’s how a lot of these people live their entire lives.

That doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain it. These people have no intent to harm; they don’t understand the implications of what they’re saying enough for that.

And this is why education is so important.

Those who have been educated in critical thinking and effective communication and STILL say things like that? They’re the evil manipulative ones.

TL;DR: it’s possible to be ignorantly racist because that’s all you know.

Personally, I’d just limit it to feeding them data that a large undecided segment believes a few provably false outlandish things, so that they publicly endorse said things when they could be spending time doing something socially destructive.

I just assumed the hats had been faux fur since the 60s….
