It's too bad the DOJ dismissed the charges against the troll farm.

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Yeah, I agree. It would have been interesting. I see why they did it, of course, but I would have enjoyed reading that trial transcript nonetheless.

Found an article on the subject of mail ballots. Learned a thing or two, thought I'd share.
There will be twice as many votes by mail this election.
Quote:
the partisan battles to come will play out primarily in the states and the courts. Early signs indicate that this struggle will unfold along three broad fronts.
The first front is about whether states should expand access to mail ballots at all. In states that require a justification for voting absentee, Democrats could press to allow no-excuse access to mail ballots. And in states that already permit no-excuse absentee voting, reform advocates like Weiser expect many officials to advocate for mailing all voters a ballot, eliminating the intermediate step of requiring voters to request one.
Quote:
..The second front of conflict will be over the extensive rules surrounding the vote-by-mail process, even in the states with no-excuse absentee voting..
Quote:
..Finally, the third front of conflict that experts foresee is not ideological but logistical: whether states have enough money and staff to handle increased demand..

Enlil said: Every election has some element that is unique and "first of its kind." Only if it is significantly different from other elections can it be fairly called "first of its kind election." That ballots were mailed out instead of handed out is an insignificant detail.
And yes...I am familiar with the troll farm tactics. It's fascinating stuff. Russian's have been doing it for awhile, so they have really honed the craft.
If you truly believe this then it explains a lot. Trolling has been an American pastime for as long as I can remember.
You know why it's called 'Trolling' right?

How is any of that relevant? Pizza is French, then the Italians changed it. Now, it's American food. Who cares if Americans troll too?

Interesting points. Let's go in order.
Zeroth off, because this isn't partisan, mail in voting has historically been pretty well balanced between democrats and republicans. For every democrat with a job, some republican wasting away in a nursing home casts a mail in vote. Of course, in modern times, where covid is not a medical but a political issue, and we're just ignoring soldiers overseas because who gives a fuck about them anyway, mail in voting has become partisan.
First off, this point is designed to eliminate one type of vote but not the other. Some dude like me, who has to go to work and shit (I'm taking a vacation day if I need to, but most people can't), some asshole on life support also needs to cast a vote. For some reason the asshole on life support that hasn't been fully conscious since Bush 2 was in office should be allowed to vote no problem, but I should be forced to take a vacation day.
The second point is substantially similar.
The third point is expressly ideological. There is currently one party that controls the senate, the presidency, and the supreme court, giving them control of 83% of the US government. For some reason, that party keeps blocking funding for elections. I wonder why.

Im voting in person like a man. Mail in ballots because youre afraid of a flu is ridiculously weak move.
Mail in ballots shouldnt be allowed, theyre going to be tampered with.

You're a weak person for not being able to think for yourself, not hang on every fox news anchors every word and vote however the fuck is safe and legal but in your eyes fuck your family,community and friends health as long as you feel like a big man going into a little office to touch a covid poll to do the same thing I did days ago by mail 
Also I did it by mail because I take care of people that are old and have many many underlying medical issues from surviving cancer and chemical damage from the military in my dad after his service. I also have a comprised immune system so it's not weak to have a bad immune system it's weak to denigrate people that do.

A real man would mail in his ballot so that the people who have to vote in person can do so without waiting in excessive lines.

Meltdown might be this forum’s biggest troll. Top 5 for sure.
Also, Falcon is Trump’s smurf.

I don't get the point of trolling. I tried intentionally arguing in bad faith once, and it was not fun and overall generally unpleasant.

Sure
What do you mean "Sure"? Do you not believe it? It's all over the news:
Dem group warns of apparent Trump Election Day landslide
Part 1 of my warning has just about come true. Are we now going to see the resistance I was asked to participate in? Count me out.
