    These user names people come up with. I fixed this one. And I love the answer Sullivan gave.
  2. Squirrel
    In all seriousness, though, the man seems like he is in need of some help. Hope he gets it.

    Hey ... it wasn't me ... I was holding the bail money ... and spent it on shoes letting them sit in jail for the weekend.

    Well, that referendum passed on this year's ballot ... so ... in two years they will get the voting rights restored. In theory. It's florida so who knows if that will really happen. I get not being able to vote while serving your time, but once that time is passed, you should be able to vote again. This 'you must be punished for the rest of your lives' mentality is appalling to me. Yeah, okay, maybe I'm not so forgiving for certain crimes (anything involving children), but I don't think punishment should come in that form when your sentence has been served.

    Not to be ... er, inappropriate ... but I saw a meme, or post, or whatever the other day ... given the shape of Florida, and the voting mess there, emblazoned across the picture of the state was an erectile dysfunction ad.
  6. Squirrel
    Surprised no one mentioned Roy Clark. He was a phenomenal musician.
  7. Squirrel
    And not sure what to make of Florida.
  8. Squirrel
    Did you read the whole article?
  9. Squirrel
    Yep. It's as good of an alternative as you can get without totally changing the two-party system, which I don't see happening any time soon. But, that said ... not sure we'll see this implemented any time soon, either, on a national level. I think a lot of states would have to adopt this going forward before it would be considered on a national level.
  10. Squirrel
    Yeah ... I think I said that above ... well, was editing when you posted.
  11. Squirrel
    Further ... Maine is the first state to use ranked choice voting.
  12. Squirrel
    It wasn't a run-off, technically, although they call it a run-off ... it was ranked choice voting that took the Dem over the top. And after the court rejected the lawsuit filed by the GOP candidate to stop the counting of the second choice votes. Oh, and I'd call that a blue wave victory.
  13. Squirrel
    That was my response, but was so dumbfounded couldn't even articulate it, so thanks for that.
  14. Squirrel
    Um, derailed a thread?
  15. Squirrel
    Are you bored of or bored with or bored from?
  16. Squirrel
    Arid Mississippi? That’s a new one on me.
  17. Squirrel
    Thanks, Seth, for putting these clips together, especially for those of us not local to Twins Territory and this is no more than a blip, if even that, in our local press. I'll watch this when I'm home tonight otherwise I might start crying at my desk at work.
  18. Squirrel
    Right. Give an offer one can't refuse and it's a different story. You want Bryant? Overpay.
  19. Squirrel
    Better hope so or we’ll never hear the end of it from Brian.

    Further, as to election reform, along with national registration laws I’d like to see adequate access and availability to polling places, with plenty of working machines and have these places open and available for days or weeks leading up to the elections like in Chicago. None of this bull**** of leaving the most populated areas with fewer polling places and machines that don’t work and don’t have electrical chords and shortened hours of access. These forms of repression are the worst. The long lines and inability to vote is disgusting and mostly responsible by Republican law makers. And I think standardized ballots ... what happened with the Florid ballots is shameful. It’s 2000 all over again. I am very wary of voter ID laws ... such as in ND, GA and others. I’m not sure what would work, but maybe in working on a national registration some kind of a card could be issued but I have no idea how that would work and is fraught with problems. Some people don’t have addresses, everyone’s signatures changes and evolves, especially as we age, not everyone can afford or has access to obtain state photo IDs. But step one is for all sides to agree we need to have some basic standardization across the nation. And that won’t happen because the number one tool for Republicans is voter repression.
  21. Squirrel
    Yep ... and who oversaw and approved that? It should not be someone who is also running in any race. That would be something else I’d want to see happen ... that the ultimate overseer of elections either be neutral or bi-partisan.
  22. Squirrel
    I’m wary of just how to go about creating a universal voting system but a national, automatic voter registration system is one thing I’d advocate for.
  23. Squirrel
    I had an uncle who was a Seabee.
  24. Squirrel
    Same to you, too. My Dad is a WWII vet ... he was in the Army Air Corps.
  25. Squirrel
    Thanks for sharing this. I know many of us are excited to try and make a game there next summer!
