posted by BR1986FBPerhaps, but the damage has been done. He didn't help Harris by saying it, just like the comedian didn't help Trump with his comments. I do think that people will take the leader of the free world's comments more critically than some nobody comedian going rogue.
It was stupid and damaging.
posted by CenterBHSFanI'd say that there is a strong probability of government contracts as a likely motivator for Mark Cuban to stump for Kamala.

posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieThose stories have a way of turning out to be phantoms. I’m sure you will see a story about someone intimidated while in line. Probably if you went back to any election in history, there are similar anecdotal stories. That doesn’t mean any of it endemic.
The US has been a bastion of free elections. Human beings are involved, so shenanigans have always been present. Trump is the modern politician who has damaged the faith in this ideal immeasurably. He’s done it entirely for self-serving reasons with no regard for the damage he has caused into the future after he’s long dead.
This alone makes him wholly unqualified to serve in a public leadership role of any level.
Incorrect. Ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, and drop boxes have significantly compromised election integrity.
posted by CenterBHSFanIn regards to Kamala pulling ad revenue from NC, it can only mean one of these two things:
1.) Her internal polling has assured her that she already has the electoral votes from that state.
2.) Her internal polling has shown that she had no chance of pulling that state.
Bonus conjecture:
She has figured out another path to win without NC so she's decided to focus that ad money in another state.
She's absconded with over a BILLION dollars; she shouldn't have to pull ad money from anywhere unless there is panic that the blue wall is as crumbly as her southern border. She sure won't be able to blame a lack of funds if she loses.

None of those things are new. Anecdotal stories like this have happened via both sides. That doesn’t equate to “significant” just because Trump says it does.

Hilarious. He shows the complete grift of race. White women (the worst cunts of all time, will never marry) and how much of a joke it is. geeBlock would hate it.
I watched a few days ago I’m sure it’s an anthem to white tears but it’s no different than people who go to trump rallies and interview dumb people
I’m not sure if Joe Rogan was harder on jd Vance than trump or that he actually tried to answer the questions and couldn’t, but it was pretty cringe

Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are…

Yeah, he stopped a hot ball on Mark Cuban, and there is some humor to it. But that's not going to help him secure one EC vote. This is one of the things about him that I just can't stand. His garbage jokes I think make him far more humorous and might endear him to some more people.
I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm already biased against him and because of that I'm not seeing the forest because of all the trees?

Trump's not wrong but probably should've positioned it better. Cuban reminds me of the rapper Drake. Has a boatload of money and is a clinger on/fanboy. Cuban used to look like a fool, grown ass man, running around in a Maverick's jersey at games when he owned them.
posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieIn a month I will be 52. I have paid attention to politics since the 80's. I am across the middle on the fading end of the current electorate. My context of modern politician would be in the aforementioned time span. The damage began in 2000. "Selected not elected", "Illegitimate president", "Stolen" "Russians", etc.. Its been part of this modern lexicon since then. Since then no Republican president has been "legitimately" elected. Unfortunately its become part of the the game now.The US has been a bastion of free elections. Human beings are involved, so shenanigans have always been present.

Probably roughly as significant as the dumbass MAGA teen in Florida who got arrested because his tiny little brain caused him to think it'd be cool to be around a voting area waving a machete at a couple women.
All sorts of stupid shit going on in our stupid world and it only really adds to the stupidity to act like it's just a problem of the side you don't like.

These are some good points that are easily forgotten by everybody.
I'm also old enough to remember that it wasn't racist to question John McCain's location of birth and along with that if he was even eligible to be a president.
Good times!
I was undecided and just read that Kamala was an ABSCONDER. I guess I’m gonna have to vote someone else

This event did not question the legitimacy of an election. It did however herald the modern abuse of that power by the majority opposition to disgrace or hobble a dully elected president.

The first part with the box not checking is easy. His finger has to be completely in the box, or his left hand is somewhere else on the screen
The second part where the screen turned green, I got nothin

That a simplistic answer to an overwhelmingly dumb thing. White lib cunts make a ton of money pretending to care about race issues. Like most mainstream media. Maybe one day that group will understand they’re being used. The DEI grift is worth billions. And what has it accomplished?
If you actually did watch it, you clearly didn’t understand it.

How about issue 1 in Ohio…..that’s a nice novel on the ballot
Be cool if everyone could just vote on what they believed or thought

Don't listen to the ads or what anyone else says. Read the wording on the ballot. They are hiding nothing in the wording. Its quite clear the intent. You will know what to do.

It’s greatly excessive IMO. The talk of it all has been tricky from both sides the entire time. If I don’t fully understand it, I’m not voting on it.

DEI accomplished getting Kamala Harris into the Biden administration. Add to that Rachel Levine, Sam Brinson, KJP and more.
And they have all been superb examples!

The talk is excessive and tricky. Both sides. Read the full text. I think its clear and I think you will come to the same conclusion. But your are right to never vote in confusion.
The first line on the ballot basically the title:
To create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the voters of the state
Read the details that follow and you will have the info you need to make a decision.
