Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

classic GOP destroy a thing so you can say it needs to be replaced because it's broken
“If we use vote by mail the election won’t be secure!”
Not necessarily
“I’ll make sure of it!”
Drop boxes are only one aspect of voting by mail. Cameras, “election integrity guards” or other means and measures could be employed to help dissuade these terrorists.
Mail in ballots are just as easily placed in any blue post office box or your own mailbox which is impossible for would be destructors/interceptors to know when your ballot is in the mail.
Republicans can get bent.
They'll just start blowing up the mailboxes, which would also serve the purpose of sowing distrust and unreliability in our postal system.
It's easy to say that, but the GOP already got their man on the inside there as well with Louis DeJoy.
Can't wait for some magat to get gunned down by a postal inspector.
It’s even easier to use your individual home mailbox to mail it. The postage is pre-paid 🤷♀️
It’s completely anonymous as to when and whom you vote for.
Republicans already destroyed the USPS, so home mailboxes are no better. High likelihood of ballots getting "lost in the mail" until after counting has stopped.
I have had so many problems with our automated rent checks showing up on time in the last few years. I can clearly see our credit union sending them on time, and they're eventually received with the appropriate timestamps, but we're weeks late in arrival.
Have you ever seen a film from one of these countries? Russia, North Korea, etc? Those writers only hope to one day aspire to be at the level of B movies. I've seen porn with better plots.
They can only afford the failed ones like Ben Shapiro
Its also very GOP to be like "votes don't matter, everythings rigged" and also be the ones trying to rig everything. Its been a successful strategy every since Reagan fucked over the Iran hostage crisis by starting Iran Contra
