Did McCain vote for Trump?

But he insulted others. He hardly was as vitriolic towards his base demographic.

Spending the first like 2 months campaigning on how she doesn't care about certain demographics' vote (primarily arab and college-age voters, and avoiding any popular policy discussion (only focusing on ways they were shifting further right) until the week of election probably didn't help. Trump got the majority of 1st time voters this cycle. Biden got 64%.

And, just like her campaign, her voters did little but try to insult people. What a surprise... insulting people doesn't convince people to vote for you or your candidate.

Silverchase's comment is a trick to prevent you from finding out how tasty switch cartridges are.

But I mentioned that and the fartographer said "No".

Why would middling underperformers be willing to pay $1000's for a job that pays worse than for the same job but paying more? You think that lady would have said "no, I don't want this job anymore because the pay increased"?

If it paid better, wouldn't more people try to bribe their way into the job? Granted, they're have more real competition for the jobs, so just getting certified might not be good enough to get a job.

Its only a crime if you make it a crime. Not saying the courts should be deciding that; election law should. If the system is designed to just not double count votes and use whatever the last cast ballot says, then there's no issue with casting another ballot, so why should it be a crime to cast 2 or 3 ballots?

The basic idea seems to be that it should be pretty similar to reddit, but with federation. Definitely still seems to have its own separate character though. And different instances have their own unique cultures, some more differentiated than others.

Its actually in the headline. Dr. Who recommended "Dementia Tests For Trump"

Its been sorta expected to happen eventually. Texas is only not a swing state because of things like voter suppression. There's only 6 states with worse turnout than Texas. If Texas had the turnout of Minnesota, it might just be a blue state.
