Oh, you’re on a sleep medication that interferes with your capacity for self-control? Sounds like you shouldn’t be in a high-stress job with lots of responsibility and power.

Just listened to Selzer break down her methodology in clear, simple terms. I’m starting to think the polling error this cycle is pretty big, and Harris is going to win handily.

I’m strongly in favor of 117. I like 118 in theory, but after reading it, I voted against it, because I think the end result would be to damage small Oregon businesses, while large conglomerates would be fine. I don’t want Walmarts to be the only businesses that can afford to operate here.

Yes, I already said, we know you want Donald Trump elected. He won’t be. Move on.

Don’t vote for a write-in candidate for president. Vote for Harris. If a state or local election has a credible, left-leaning write-in candidate opposing an otherwise-unopposed conservative, definitely do write that one in.

I’ve noticed the same. When Biden was still in, support for him was of the “grim determination” variety. But as soon as he bowed out, it shifted to practically jubilant support for Harris.

So glad to see that shift.

If Iowa goes blue, then the election overall is very likely going to be a landslide for Harris.

Whataboutism. Doesn’t directly address the fact that Trump made a death threat.

That one’s a classic.

Quality post. I really did think I was reading an Onion headline.

And I have to admit, the first time I saw the guy in my neighborhood who bought one driving it around, I pointed and laughed too.

One difference: Biden is president. He’s not going to put up with any of the bullshit Trump and his cronies got up to in 2020.

Not many, but plenty use various corporate applications that are Windows-only.

It’s some kind of locked-down version of GlobalProtect that’s integrated with a TPM module to prevent machines that aren’t running our corporate image on corporate-approved laptops from being able to connect.

There’s probably some kind of workaround, but I’m lazy and it’s easier just to power up the Windows machine now and then.

I only ever use Windows on my work computer, and only when I need access to a resource that requires our Windows-only VPN.

But seriously, “just use linux” is worthless advice. Lots of people use Windows for specific applications that don’t exist in the Linux ecosystem. For example, there are no Linux applications that come close to AutoCAD, and it simply doesn’t work on Linux.

Better advice would be to get new (or newer used) hardware if possible, if you absolutely need to use Windows, since this workaround will inevitably be “corrected” by Microsoft. Then you can do whatever you like with the old hardware, such as install and learn Linux at your own pace.

Predictions:

• The perpetrator is a Republican.
• His excuse will be, “Everyone does it and no one gets caught,” despite getting caught.
• Other Republicans will continue to believe in imaginary Democratic voter fraud, while ignoring instances of actual fraud like this one from their own party members.

I don’t understand these guys. They know what they’re doing, and they know it’s to help a sick and despotic country wreck the United States. If that effort is successful… what do they think their dollars will be worth when the “full faith and credit of the United States of America” no longer means anything?

Yep, they’re trying it again. Flood the zone with shitty polls from fly-by-night pollsters, make it look like a “red wave,” and try to turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. If it works, they look like geniuses. If it fails, they claim rigging.

If you live in a swing state, you’re actively helping save the country. Thank you!

Hey, I hear you. And given the threat Trump poses, it’s important to stay vigilant.

But I genuinely believe we’ve got this. Trump will never be in the White House again.

And early voting data actually looks terrific for Harris. Early turnout in Democratic-leaning areas all over the country is unprecedented.
