There is decades of proof that voting for the false choice between big money candidates does not work.

There is decades? Really? What does "does not work" mean? Fat Donny is president and you seem to want four more years of him. Looks like it works for you.

If it did Trump would not be president.

So, if it did, HilRod would be president?

FYI - correlation does not equal causation. Your assertions are unconvincing and self-contradicting. You sound like the Orange Grifter, endlessly spamming the same stuff again and again as if repetition makes it so.

She personifies alternate universe ... and, how!!!

I know, right, EM!?

Total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president.

at the time, Haley and Rubio were trying to win. after losing, they got on board. for them it was never a matter of principle, in either direction. i think that's true of about 80% of politicians of either party.

I'm specifically referring to Rubio being on the committee that investigated Trump who now knows full well the crimes he's committed:

Nimrata Haley also being aware of said crimes, among others.

I disagree that 80% of politicians of either party would support a candidate they knew was guilty of what Trump has done. Name another election where you saw so many defections from one political party to endorse the candidate of the other, and spare me the false equivalency, please. All pies are not created equal; some are loaded with nuts. :)

There is decades of proof that voting for the false choice between big money candidates does not work. If it did Trump would not be president.

Notwithstanding your personal preferences, voting does work.

The only way to prove something works or doesn't work is to try it.

Bullshit. I don't have to try breathing to know my lungs work. I don't have to cut myself to know I will bleed. I don't have to go to cast a ballot for myself in Texas only to find there's no write-in space because I know there's no way I can do that without filling out legally binding election forms, paying a pricey registration fee, and having my name placed on the ballot. It is not physically possible to vote for myself otherwise. I know this because it's in the rules. Don Harris can insist a voter can vote for themselves until the cows come home, but in the vast majority of states, a voter cannot legally do that. We already do know this.

When you misinform people about write-in voting that isn't available to them, that is voter misinformation and a potential felony. Full stop.

And people can't choose to try it unless they know the opportunity exists.

People can't choose it already in the vast majority of states. It's already not a legally viable option. You've been asked multiple times to stop with your monomania. Another term for your "monomania" is voter misinformation, which might actually constitute felony fraud.

So let's give people the information on the alternatives to continuing to vote in a way that doesn't work, One Demand and pie based voting.

Opinions are like assholes, and voter misinformation can literally be a felony in multiple jurisdictions.

We will see what people choose and find out if either alternative works if people choose it.

Why don't you stop with this shit like you were asked by CW? Do you deny that a voter cannot legally cast a write-in vote in 35 states without having their name placed on the ballot by paying a fee and/or collecting a certain number of signatures and/or registering... or any of a number of combinations of the above depending on the state? Therefore, we already know your "idea" isn't possible as defined by you and constitutes voter fraud on your part.

There you go again.

Said the board echo chamber.

I am not telling people not to vote. I am telling people to vote in a different manner as the way citizens have been voting has not worked.

Bullshit. The way citizens have been voting has worked just fine regardless of whether or not you like the outcome of the thousands of elections across the United States or whether or not the thousands of candidates meet with your personal approval.

FACT: It is a fabrication and outright misinformation to claim that you advocate a different way of voting when what you advocate is the equivalent of disenfranchisement.

FACT: Voters in Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma, and South Dakota are not allowed write-ins at all. It is voter fraud to suggest to them they can write in their own names because they cannot.

FACT: Voters in Alabama, Delaware, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, and Wyoming will allow voters to write in any name they wish.

FACT: In the remaining 35 states, the only acceptable write-in candidates are those who have officially registered with the state by a predefined cutoff date and by either filing paperwork, paying a fee, collecting signatures, or multiple combinations of those.

FACT: You can spin it however you want, but when your "idea" is to misinform people that they can vote for themselves as a write-in candidate when that is by law not possible in the vast majority of states that have no way to do that without having their name placed on the ballot, then your "idea" could literally meet the definition of voter misinformation.

FACT: Supplying voters inaccurate information about how to vote can be considered voter fraud.

FACT: Voter fraud is a felony.

So to recap: You encouraging and/or misinforming voters that they can vote in ways that are not legally possible in their state is voter misinformation and could carry a criminal penalty for voter fraud. You insisting that another man shill for your voter misinformation that could carry a criminal penalty for you both is so far beyond the pale that it's pathetic.

We're on the brink of rediscovering the old truths about the nature of money ("You can't eat it, you can't wear it, you can't shelter under it") as enunciated so plainly by Milton Friedman, but long since forgotten/ignored.

You want to talk 'weird', Joshua? Oh, man ...

True dat, all of it.

Which is why I am a bit concerned that Trump could win on the Republican cult of economic failure.

Tim Geithner could really take the lens cap off of that nonsense!

it's also why CW began writing his friday talking points in the first place - dems as a unit are notoriously bad at hammering home the most obvious reasons why they are the better party to govern our country.

@don,

different can be either better, worse, or neither. i think your method of voting would be worse, and voting based on pie would be better. you certainly can't prove that it wouldn't.

@liz,

knowing the lens cap is on doesn't quite equate with removing it. that's why it's so weird that it took the lincoln project to write the ads that democrats should have been writing for decades.

@kick,

Don Harris seems blissfully unaware that voting is "democracy"... even when "pretty f***ing stupid" people who have been fools for decades keep encouraging people not to do it.

Haley had a tough tightrope to walk, presenting herself as one of the least-scary Trump minions, who built her own political brand on being a model GOP minority success story and overcoming Deep South racism to do so.

I'm pretty sure I heard Nimrata say that it's a lie that America is racist... right before she explained how her family were discriminated against and then told the story about the white supremacist who mass murdered multiple black citizens in a South Carolina church.

Perhaps she's just blissfully unaware that the Deep South is part of America... or... maybe she just doesn't know what constitutes a "lie." Allow me to demonstrate a lie:

We saw and looked at true hate last year in Charleston. I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the KKK. That is not a part of our party. That's not who we want as president. We will not allow that in our country!

It's sad what the GOP will not only allow but turn a blind eye to and voluntarily endorse. Marco Rubio and Nikki Haley know exactly who Trump is and what he's done in concert with adversaries of the United States, and they've both turned a blind eye to someone they know full well has committed multiple crimes. Full stop.

The Deathocrats passed a lame bill months ago they knew the Republikillers would not advance and have done nothing since because they could just blame the Republikillers. The Deathocrats have just been Biden time hoping that voters will only blame the Republikillers.

Meanwhile people are dying. That's pretty damn final.

But the Democrats passed a bill that did things that would actually be helpful to the vast majority of the public... you want them to pass bullshit like the Republicans want that might look helpful on the surface, but that really does nothing??? Then you will complain that the Democrats passed a “do-nothing” bill. And tell us what the Democrats should have passed that (1) the Republicans would have passed and (2) would have saved lives? I mean, you are calling the Democrats “killers” for what they haven’t done... so it should be easy for you to answer the question.

Yeah, and only one of them knew there was a lens cap on. Get it!?

I think you should come up with a new nickname for the Democrats that is, oh, I don't know, less final?

And, the Republican nickname should be more, well, accurate in the sense that Con can be pretty easily construed as being just conservative, you know.

I did notice in your report that the talking points were handed out with rigor.
Jim Jordan: "Crime, violence, and mob rule."
D J T Jr: "Crime, violence, and mob rule."

I notice the mainstream media that I follow is tip-toeing very carefully in its coverage so far (day 1). They're trying to report on the lies and obvious hypocrisy without drawing the usual defensive accusations about anti-GOP bias. But that's just from skimming the headlines and first paragraphs. The rest of the coverage is best ignored, for sounder mental health.

If Trump would just stay clear away from QAnon or whatever it is and just talk about the economy, Democrats would be in real trouble. Trouble because most Dems have a hard time tooting their own horns on the economy for reasons I have yet to understand.

Did you see that animated, black and white - or grey, really - commercial on CNN?

The elephant is looking through a telescope at the skies above. The donkey comes upon him and asks, What are you looking for?

The elephant responds while continuing to look through the telescope, The planet you live on.

The elephant moves away and the donkey looks through the telescope for just a second and then looks at the elephant and says, Oh, God. Well, the lens cap is on, so ...

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe ...
