Please, Cunt, don't call the traditional styles of other cultures "costumes." It's offensive.

I own all cultures, so I can call our costumes anything I wish.

You are a white guy, so you can only talk about socks and sandals, or plaid shirts.

Old white guys can talk about tuxedos.

I'm offended when I see people from other cultures wearing shirts and neckties.

I wonder if Mother Jones is as fair and even-handed as our Seabass (see my signature for punchline)

Given that you are clearly not associated in any way with the political left, you have nothing to be ashamed of...

Republicans aren't dangerous at all! They just have a difference of opinion! Is that so wrong?

Ignoring the climate elephant in the room is probably going to turn out to be our species greatest mistake. And let's be honest, standard capitalism (let alone far more regulated?) can't deal with climate change. We really are fucked. Nothing short of revolution will save us (unless some amazing new technologies/techniques come online before it's too late -- i.e. faith).

Well, if it's any consolation, Coito2 got a small tax cut, so at least humanity will go out on a high note.

And the stock market is up too! Oh wait, hold my beer..

There is no voter suppression in the US.

Voting rights become a flashpoint in Georgia governor’s race
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... story.html

ATLANTA — Marsha Appling-Nunez was showing the college students she teaches how to check online if they’re registered to vote when she made a troubling discovery. Despite being an active Georgia voter who had cast ballots in recent elections, she was no longer registered.

“I was kind of shocked,” said Appling-Nunez, who moved from one Atlanta suburb to another in May and believed she had successfully changed her address on the voter rolls.

“I’ve always voted. I try to not miss any elections, including local ones,” Appling-Nunez said.

She tried re-registering, but with about one month left before a November election that will decide a governor’s race and some competitive U.S. House races, Appling-Nunez’s application is one of over 53,000 sitting on hold with Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s office. And unlike Appling-Nunez, many people on that list — which is predominantly black, according to an analysis by The Associated Press — may not even know their voter registration has been held up.

Tuesday is Georgia’s deadline to register and be eligible to vote in the November General Election.

Kemp, who’s also the Republican candidate for governor, is in charge of elections and voter registration in Georgia.

His Democratic opponent, former state Rep. Stacey Abrams, and voting rights advocacy groups charge that Kemp is systematically using his office to suppress votes and tilt the election, and that his policies disproportionately affect black and minority voters.

How can you not have an independent election commission?? This sort of thing just opens the door to corruption.

A perfect example where the US obsession with leaving things to elected officials rather than some form of civil service leads to less democracy rather than more...
