Why are all the news networks owned by billionaires trying to make Joe Biden seem mentally unfit while downplaying the objectively more mentally unfit actions of the candidate that will be objectively better for those billionaire owners? Gee, I can't think of a reason...

Correction to the urban/rural ratio; it's actually 80% of Americans that live in urban areas, versus 20% rurally, according to the Census. The discrepancy is probably due to using a different definition, but unless that alternate definition is specified, the official Census definition should be used. At the census tract level, the tract is considered urban if it meets a threshold housing density and is connected by similarly-dense tracts to an even denser nucleus, plus the whole contiguous urban area must meet a minimum threshold population or household count.

Why would the Florida government put out misinformation that could endanger old people specifically? Well this is the same governor who pushed to re-open his state early and basically said "Hey, it's only going to kill the old people". Plus while older people tend to be conservative, the curve bends back when they get REALLY old and they realize that it's the GOP whose trying to take away their benefits and push them to "take one for the team".

republicans under Obama: "They're sending grandma to death panels. We won't stand for this." republicans during COVID: "Grandma is willing to die for the economy."

It's how republicans practice "inclusion." Douglas Adams was right. The role of the President is to wield power, but to draw attention away from it.

How I explain the electoral college to republicans: There are 3000 voters. Candidate A get 1800 votes, candidate B gets 1200 votes. Who wins? Answer: Candidate A Then I continue: but we implement an Electoral College, so, 1000 votes / electoral vote. We then combine them. Electoral vote 1: Candidate A gets 1000 votes Electoral vote 2: A gets 400 votes, B gets 600 votes Electoral vote 3: A gets 400 votes, B gets 600 votes Who wins? Answer: Candidate B. Me: Most people voted for candidate A, but they rigged the system to ensure that B wins, despite the greater number of people voting for A. That's how the Electoral College works. Response: Yeah, but a candidate only needs to get 5 states. That's because those states HAVE THE MOST PEOPLE living in them. I haven't found a single conservative/republican who understands that PEOPLE VOTE, NOT SQUARE MILEAGE.

FL republicans are culling their voter base. And they're blaming democrats for making them believe their own bullshit. republicans don't need help believing bullshit.

There simply aren't words to distill my rage against the electoral college.

American christians grow impatient with their god. It’s becoming more apparent that they want to start Armageddon themselves.
