Guess which party is gonna win that seat?

Unfortunately, we are a nation of cowards.

it's called an illegitimate election, folks

the Georgia Governor was not actually elected. it doesn't appear to actually matter.

LGBT advocacy groups had tremendous success by pressuring corporations not to do business in states with discriminatory laws. I'd love to see similar campaigns by voting rights and civil rights groups.

Excellent opening to a new Atlantic article

I bet you can find something like that in this or the COVID thread from a few weeks ago.

This whole thing is the WHO’s fault and they’re going to pay dearly for it. We’re gonna slash their funding because if they had done their job we wouldn’t be in this situation.

The lack of accountability is on real with this jack ass.

Thank you!

The closing of 175/180 polling stations was, in effect, sanctioned by the US Supreme Court. Absolute sham of an institution. They also threw out the extension of mail in ballot deadline.
