Their own spokesperson said it is not a real issue yet.
That does not mean it couldn't be at some point, but when the panic promoters simply say that over 1,000 Cleveland Clinic employees are out due to covid it makes it sound like the end of the world, without the context.
If you had a loved one at the Clinic, you'd be concerned.

Yes ...context matters, GREATLY.
They have 51,000 employees , so 1.9% being affected in an urban area is not really anything special.
Yes it is because they're hospital workers and probably got it from the same source.

I stick to numbers, reason and logic. To have certain democrat stronghold areas inside swing states go from 55 - 60% historical turnout to 80-90% is a statistical impossibility; not an improbability, an impossibility, without fraud. This is not complicated. The mail-in ballots were the perfect vehicle to deliver the desired result.
You're helpful in keeping us current on right wing daily talking points. Whatever crap is posted on conservative Twitter and by Donny Jr., you usually end up posting that very same day.
Just cause Donny Jr. claims something doesn't make it true.

Hell yes. Indiana is a good team. Every top team has had a close game this year too. (Alabama/Ole Miss, ND/Louisville, Clemson/BC, etc)

posted by geeblockYea.. I mean I would appreciate if you comment to take 39 seconds to read the article.. don’t be like like that
Okay, I've read it. An article about some dumbass who did something stupid and racist and lost her job. Your the one who added the "studies show" comment about the more racist people are the less they see themselves as racist. I didn't see these "studies" cited in the article, so I assume you were editorializing. According to that logic, if someone is not a racist, they must think of themselves as a horrible racist. I was just taking your reasoning to its end.
Racism is bad and I am glad we live in a day and age where it is generally unacceptable to express or act on racist views. That's not everywhere and everyone of course, but that will not ever be attainable. Some people have hate in their heart whether its based upon race or some other factor. I will also say this - if you want to see racism everywhere, that's what you'll see. Just like if you wanted to see any other type of injustice everywhere.
posted by geeblockThe point of the comment if you read the article, was that after making a kamala Harris watermelon to go next to her trump pumpkin, she said she wasn’t racist and touted her 30 year police record of being non racist
I didn't read the article. I just found that conclusion amusing considering how it must lead. I'm sure the watermelon lady is racist. There always have been and always will be people who are racist in their beliefs. I kind of dread the next however many years of focusing on it as it relates to Kamala Harris. Instead of celebrating the fact that a black/Indian woman is the VP of the united states, every white trash racist remark directed at her will be focused on as an example of our racist society. It gets exhausting.

Studies show the more racist a person is the less likely they are to identify themselves as being racist.
So the less racist a person is, the more they identify themselves as a racist? That means a guy who "doesn't have a racist bone in his body" would believe himself to be on par with Hitler.

You two do a great job of hearing each other out with open minds. I always learn something by following the engaging back and forth.
posted by friendfromlowryThe curfew would actually be pretty cool if at 9:59pm they played the siren from Silent Hill throughout the state.
That's the exact sound of the sirens in London that warned of German bombers during the blitz. Hearing old audio of it - imagine how friggin terrifying that was.

posted by gutI seriously doubt 3 individuals in 3 different states could accomplish enough to swing the margins. It takes a Unabomber-level politard to risk 15+ years in jail because they care that much about the Presidential election. I think it would be tough to find 1 person like that, much less 3 or more.
And along those same lines, there's no way a coordinated effort could be pulled off. A few dozen people are all going to trust that no one snitches or screws up, and risk going to the clink for 15+ years? No way is that going to happen.
Herein lies the problem with most big conspiracy theories - the likelihood that dozens or hundreds of people could cooperatively work together and then keep completely quiet about it. Not possible. If this uber secret election stealing apparatus does exist, why didn't it steal the 2016 election away from Trump as well? This is fake moon landing stuff. That doesn't mean every last vote was legitimate. That isn't possible either. I'm sure somewhere someone cast an illegal vote for Trump as well. But the law of large numbers makes those kind of cases mute.
The guy lost the election. Show a good example and pull for Biden to succeed. Our country needs that.
