      I tried to go vote but they told me to come back in three months. Maybe I’ll have better luck tomorrow.

          I think I’ll send in a few hundred copies of my ballot just to be on the safe side.

          I worry some asshole is gonna see this comment and then Fox News will start talking about liberals on Lemmy coordinating efforts to vote multiple times.

            That’s the brilliant part though. The protections which prevent this kind of basic election fraud are simple and robust! It is virtually impossible to register multiple votes. If anything, attempts at voting “early and often” would simply illustrate the strength of the current election integrity framework.

      Counter argument. When the pollsters say it’s a dead heat, listen to them.

      If don’t you want federal abortion bans and more handouts for billionaires, then you need to show up and bring your friends and family.

      It’s going to come down to a handful of votes.

        Democrats give handouts to billionaires (aka their donors). It’ll just be less handouts.

            What is weird is the Democrats ignoring that Biden was enabling genocide, that he was having serious cognitive decline and that he wasn’t progressive. So you should be asking yourself.

      Why do people on Lemmy hate polls so much? Who’s going out and saying “I’m not going to vote, we have polls instead”

        I think we’re all just scarred after 2016, because a lot of polling back then had Clinton beating Trump, and we know how that worked out.

      I’m glad they listen to polls. With Harris we actually have a chance.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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.

That’s all the rules!
