@quixxdraw That's hogwash. There's more Republicans in California than in texas. Instead of their votes being wasted, every single one of them counts in a popular vote and you'll see a greater turnout since their votes are no longer mathematically irrelevant.
@66EarlyBird@AllekWest "just disagreeing with another race is racist."
Disagreeing with someone based on their race is racist.
Like, oh you're black, I'm gonna discount your opinion.
That's bad.
@grok@scottnzee@bbeliveau@conormpearson@AllekWest Which party typically carries the former Confederate states and displays Confederate flags today, and how did the 1964 Civil Rights Act vote break down between Northern and Southern states?"
@RonDeSantis He says, unironically, as governor of the state that forced us to wait more than four weeks till we knew who the president was in 2000.
How can you forget that happened?
@DukishDog@realjustfacts It was a genius solution. It mollified the slaveholding states because a substantial portion of their populace couldn't vote so this was a way to bring them to the table while they treated people like chattel, murdering and raping them at their whim. Genius.
@realjustfacts Wow and not one time did you discuss the fact the electoral college and the three fifths compromise was to protect the voting power of slavery states.
@ian_mckelvey It's an example of how amazing US logistics is. For fucks sake the argument the Administration made to the Courts was that it affected readiness in combat zones because of difficulties getting them medicine. I'm just pointing out how absurd of an under oath claim that is.
@MusingofaNobody@shoveitjack@ian_mckelvey@PopArtNJ I never claimed to be a service member. He said I didn't know any war fighters which I took to mean anyone who deployed as an 03 MOS or in my dad's case served on an Iwo Jjma class amphibious assault ship.
I guess I don't know what MOS my wife's grandpa was but he had stories.
@ian_mckelvey@shoveitjack@PopArtNJ Or I understand just how amazing US logistics are and don't buy the readiness bullshit line. For fucks sake we had ice cream barges in WWII.
@MCN742766360744 Okay. That's fine. Like how much do you think my taxes are that a 32% increase isn't way less than my deductible, copays, and premiums?
@Olga1092289@RichWright284@JNicholsonInDC Nato isn't even there. Do....do you think that NATO has boots on the ground? That they're utilizing modern combined arms with western logistics?
@shoveitjack@ian_mckelvey@PopArtNJ If you exclude the Marines from Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River, Camp Geiger, Camp Devil Dog, and Cherry Point; my dad, my wife's grandpa, my brother-in-law, my niece's dad, and an ex-girlfriend... Then no, I don't know any.
@ian_mckelvey I know people who deployed with CPAP machines. The military routinely accommodates personnel with medical equipment and specialized needs. Are you seriously arguing that this particular accommodation is beyond its logistical capabilities. We can deploy a BurgerKing but not shots?
