Thank you #CaptainObvious. Humor aside though, sadly he has a point: #GOP gerrymanders (oops, redraws districts) and #RepublicanLite has to do it too (can't disarm unilaterally), and in the end it goes on and on. . .

FTA: "Critics argue that if enough Americans lose confidence in election systems, future election outcomes could become impossible for large parts of the country to accept — regardless of who wins."

Place your bets folks. 🎲

And yet gringos, poll or not, keep consistently voting for it. Doctorow's arguments are good but as long as people say one thing then go on and do the same stupid shit. . .

How impatient do you have to be to need your Amazon delivery in 30 minutes? Hearing echoes of Domino's 30 minute pizza, and they had to end that.

One‑party rule in the USA is inevitable.

Americans have already disfranchised the minority and women by extreme gerrymandering and revoking the voting rights protections. With this new measure, they can use ICE to round up any opposition.

Americans vote and work towards this future for decades. After this midterm, there will be no constraint on any POTUS and how he exercises his power. Americans can bomb and kill anyone anywhere whenever they feel like it.

Article caught my eye in part because I had a student last month researching homesteading. They could have used this back then.
