By the Summer of 2027, when California will have finished counting all its votes, Kamala is going to pass Trump.
The last time I was this embarrassed for "California" was the Syracuse game. If you're going to allow mail-in ballots, those should be mailed by the Friday before Election Tuesday and only accepted until Wednesday. Good Lord, we do some stupid s*** sometimes...
No ***** There is serious talk about using a currency that is on a computer ledger (somewhere) and we are still talking about paper ballots. What a **** show we are. But please, keep complaining about either side being the bigger problem.
Most democracies use paper ballots, and manage to count all votes on the same day.
Most used to use paper money or gold rocks for barter.
Paper ballots don't break down and can't be hacked.
How are the paper ballots counted, manually, or do we use computerized readers? Oops, those could be hacked. Hey, I just created a million jobs.
Lolol.
Who is ever going to audit 150M ballots?
Remember the chaos of just a few counties in Florida? Hanging chad?
At some point, individuals need to have morals, ethics, character, dignity, honesty.
That is just one reason why Trump and Trumpism (look at his cast of
sleezebag nominees and jailed hires) was the wrong choice. Look at Al Gore yielding on a mere 500 votes when there was plenty of evidence of pre-election voter roll clearing VS Trump contesting 4 states and something like 175,000 votes that separated him from Biden. (Kamala needed 3 states and 200,000 votes, for comparison.)
But whatever… when the tanks stop rolling and the blood is washed away, the next generation will have learned its lesson. An axiom we apparently cannot avoid.
Perhaps it was Soren Kierkegaard who suggested the idea that
"each generation must learn the horrors of war for itself."just as it was Justice Kennedy who said the same about the honors of democracy.
….except Kierkegaard says it cannot be taught - it must be experienced.
This is why, I suppose, I was expecting someone like Spielberg to come out with a Private Ryan, Platoon, or Schindler's List type film on the horrors of Trump/ism before this election. Movies move people, just like Trump's Hate Rallies did. Kamala didn't bring it. And the J6 hearings were too long ago and not "entertaining" enough.
