Did you know in Sudan (5x the population of Israel/Gaza) there is a literal ethnic genocide going on right now? As in Arabs going village to village and straight up murdering people based entirely on how dark their skin is? And this started before the 2024 election. How many times have you posted about that?
Funny how all of these disingenuous anti-Biden and anti-DNC posters are so conveniently playing into the Republicans’ hands by making Israel a single issue voting point.
John Oliver had a segment on how electing judges in the US is a shitshow, mainly because it forces an otherwise non-partisan job to align with a party and also forces them to spend more time campaigning and less time on their actually job.
One of the many, many, problems with Reddit is that 1 upvote does not equal 1 upvote. Countless times I’ve found a days old post and or a comment that’s like 15 deep in a chain that no one else is possibly viewing, and up/down voted it. The UI shows the number changing, but if you then immediately (or much later) check it in an incognito browser you often can see that it didn’t change.
I assume it’s some weird anti bot voting algorithm, but it consistently applies to my very real accounts so it’s definitely not working as intended.
fuk switzerland, free riding mfers
I don’t think it is, here’s a reference to it from 4 years ago
but muh egg prices
I like that on Lemmy you can comment on a 20+ hour old thread from the “front page” and still have a good chance at responses or interaction from other users.
Any subreddit that regularly hits the front page of Reddit requires that users comment in the first hour or two of the post being made, or latch onto some chain from the top existing comments, or else your comment is basically just thrown into the void. It’s even worse now that Reddit has started showing day or week old posts on the front page, like why bother commenting on those posts when absolutely no one will see it…
Look up China’s final warning. Ironically it’s Trump whose the one issuing the “warning” with these tariffs that he is never actually going to follow through with (see: him caving today).
Why stop at 1
I live in Canada, you’re preaching to the choir
Also economically it’s beneficial for Alaska to be a unique US state in terms of tourism and resource offerings. If Canada joined the US, Alaska loses a big aspect of their unique identity to BC/Yukon/NT.
Actually checking the name and address against the voting registration record, without an additional ID check, really is enough to validate someone in like 99.999999% of cases. In order for someone to impersonate someone else while voting, they would need to:
-Know their name
-Know their address
-Know their designated polling place and physically visit it to cast a ballot
-And most importantly, they would need to know that the person they’re impersonating is not going to vote in that election. Because otherwise as soon as they do, it’s going to flag a voter fraud alert when one voter appears to be voting twice. Which is a federal crime that is taken very seriously and easy to track down, because it occurs so infrequently and there’s surveillance at every polling location
So an imposter would be risking federal prison time in order to swing an election by one vote. It’s something that happens like a single digit number of times per election.
Compare that to the hundreds or even thousands of times that people work 8+ hour days (since elections in the US are never on holidays), get to their polling place that closes as early as 6pm, and then find that they’ve forgot to bring or lost their ID, and then won’t or can’t vote in the election. The current system works fine, ID laws are 100% just a voter suppression tactic.
I think that’s a local state or city requirement, I’m not sure I’ve ever had to sign for a ballot.
It’s a fair question so idk why people are downvoting you. But in the US you can’t just walk in and vote (ID or not). Before the election you have to register to vote, and that process verifies that you are a citizen. Then once you go into your polling place to actually cast your vote, they check your name/address to see if you’ve been registered, and if you have, then you are allowed to vote.
So requiring ID to vote introduces a second step to check something that’s already been verified (you can’t register to vote if you aren’t a citizen), and Republicans love it because adding extra hoops to the voting process lowers turnout and historically Republicans do better in low voter turnout elections.
If Trump didn’t get a second term, then Reagan probably goes down as having done more net damage to the country. Now it’s anyone’s game.
Low-key they kind of are just because of security through obscurity. Modern scammers are too busy with new stuff like crypto and phishing, and can’t be bothered with faxing.
Except these guys never go after the Catholic Church
Well the US doesn’t have to do anything, so hopefully he follows up on that promise (doubt).
Yes? We fund KSA who fund the RSF. If the US wanted to end the conflict they could, easily. But it’s not a convenient political pressure point for bad faith actors like yourself.
