      War sucks, and most veterans and their families know it. But when forced to fight Ukraine is standing, and I hope that Western support doesn’t waiver. I’m sure Putin is hoping to interfere in moar elections as an out.

      Could you imagine if his lil orange minion was in power?

      Shudders.

      Ps, people make sure you are registered to vote.

        And if you are registered to vote, periodically check if you are still registered.

        Well, with Putin suddenly deciding to unveil his newest intercontinental dildos, I doubt even the orange rapey puffball could have stood against the urges of the military industrial complex. This is it folks, we’re once again comparing explosive rage boners for sport, what fun!

        Humans are interesting, a little disappointing, but interesting nonetheless…

          Ukraine is very grateful for that MIC right now, and Russia is finding out the price of its corruption.

        I keep reading that. Does one need to get actively registered to be allowed to vote in the US? That completely contradicts that people say you can even vote without any personal ID card (both sound ridiculous to me)

          Yes, you have to be registered to vote in the US. It’s typically an easy process, although some areas do try to complicate it to limit one side or the other.

          I believe there is a process that allows someone to vote if they don’t have an ID, but it does involve verification. Contrary to what some extremists would tell you, It’s not like anyone can just walk up and vote a bunch of times. The voters and votes are verified at multiple points along the way.

          States govern the election process, so the details are going to vary but that’s all true for the couple states I’ve voted in during my lifetime.

          It is dependent on the state, and there has been registry fuckery especially among minority populations so it’s good to check like that person said. We are still having to actively fight for our democracy, it’s not the time to be lackadaisical

        The moment I realised that the USA was unavoidably moving towards fascism was when the so called political left collectively decided that the problem wasn’t anything internal, it was just that evil, perfidious foreigners had corrupted the innate goodness of America.

          What you said probably makes sense within the paradigm of Kremlin’s propaganda. But in the real world it’s just a pile of word garbage.
