I hate election promises from an incumbent government. It feels like blackmail. "If you vote for us we'll fix this problem we've been ignoring/not prioritising". People vote on current performance, not what you might do later

Voting for a repub is a giant mistake in any other election never mind voting for this schmuck

Or that morning to cover the whole day with his incompetence, just not in the election.

It would give the during president as much power in the electoral college as Wyoming, but no House seats and critically no Senate seats. And there hasn't been a Presidential election that close in a hundred years. I'd trade two Dem Senators for that, no sweat.

Ok civics geeks!…you got this? 🤓

The president has no authority over certifying state elections; this responsibility lies solely with state and local officials. The U.S. Constitution grants states the power to manage their own election processes, including certification.

Here's a logic exercise:

In the last BC election the majority didn't even vote, so the majority don't want to vote, so we should stop having elections.
This is where the absurdity of "majority rule" and the perceived sacrosanct nature of electoral politics falls apart.
Sortition?

Your pooler apologizes for the error.

On Bolsonaro, when asked about visas

Said his family was "treated very unfairly" but did not weigh in

"I didn't take a position in the election"

On Alaska

"It's terrible what's happened in Alaska"

"They created a fake candidate" (3/7)

good piece that captures the actual scandal, which is that if you're going to engage in a ratfucking campaign you better not get caught before the election! slate.com/news-and-pol...

Trump administration embraces flight from Bolsonaro, loses Brazilian presidential candidate
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro fled his home country and arrived in the United States on Tuesday, with some on the right describing him as a political refugee. Bolsonaro's passport was seized by government order after he recently lost the presidential election to current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Instead of handing them over, Bolsonaro took off with his family, traveling through Argentina, Ecuador and finally landing in Miami, Florida.

This "election is stolen" bullshit is getting real old. Every nefarious administration is doing it to hang onto power. Israel is a racist state. Zionism is racism and Netanyahu must pay for the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

I wonder if it backfires with Alaskans seeing so much overt federal interference in their election
October 28, 2026 at 10:21 PM
So let me get this straight. Donald Trump let a Latin man suspected of serious crimes enter the country illegally without a legal passport. Days before an election. Any journalist want to ask this question??!!!
October 28, 2026 at 10:21 PM
Solution: Don't do illegal shit like seizing voting machines on election day.

Sorted.

People need to get more comfortable with saying no.

If they are committing the federal crime of stealing election equipment while armed the solution is to use armed force to make them stop.
If the state police need help with defending our democracy they should put out the call. I, for one, will be happy to help guard our elections from fascists.

Trump cannot deploy the military to challenge the Brazilian presidential elections results because he needs it to challenge the US midterm election results.
