I'm not getting at anything. I'm just asking whether there's an age breakout for the poll. I'm interested.

True as this is, what's missing here is that Republicans voters are also inspired, which adds a layer of certainty that they will vote.

Rage has a lyric that sort of addresses this: "What does the billboard say? Come and play, come and play; forget about the movement ..."

How would his sister know? Aren't troop movements supposed to be secret?

I'm wondering how it breaks along age lines. I'm interested.

Revenge of the D-plus students.

I love the dismissive look, chuckle and “you’re cool” that Mayor Doofus got form the councilman on his left.

Exactly. The red hats have an entire media ecosystem blasting out support for them and their idol, while the anti-Trumpers have only the MSM and left media they have traditionally despised supporting them. Who has the upper hand there?

Depends in part whether this news story can maintain its hotness into November.

Any idea how the Ukrainian poll about Russia breaks down along age lines? I’d be interested in seeing whether there’s a substantial difference one way or another.

Okey-doke, pot.

Among other things?

I said nothing remotely like this. You certainly know that and everyone else can see that, so I’m guessing this is simply you lashing out at me.

Right, and it's certainly not democracy that's good for them, since polling shows that no group of americans think voting access is an important issue. this includes black americans.

I realize I am in the minority on this one, but I really don't care about Matthew Stafford anymore. Not only is he not on the team I root for, he in fact pushed for a trade to get away from my team. I don't blame him for wanting that, but strictly in terms of how he impacts any fandom I feel for the Lions, he's basically dead to me. I won't root against him, but these days I feel no more for him than I do for Joe Burrow. His winning the Super Bowl does literally nothing for me or the Lions. I do find it mildly amusing how local sports media is ginning up the love with a constant stream of feel-good Stafford stories. People still feel connected to him because of their Lions fandom. I understand that and I say good on ya for feeling that. I simply don't feel that way, is all.

Well then by all means if the perfectly-educated people don't care about their own democracy then make it as hard as possible I mean really who gives a shit nobody cares anyway amirite?

You continue to place the responsibility on us the people to find ways to cheerfully overcome all obstacles to voting that government places in front of us, rather than putting the responsibility on government to implement policies that get as many eligible voters as possible to the polls. As for the people of Indiana and why don’t they protest, I don’t know for sure, but maybe part of it is a boiling frog issue. Maybe it’s just got harder to vote so gradually for them that they’re not noticing it from year to year, whereas other people who have historically been denied the opportunity to vote are far more aware of the deficiencies of a so-called democracy in which those with certain political aims seek to make voting more difficult for people instead of easier. I don’t know for sure, I’m just spitballing here.

You misspelled “reprehensible”.

Wait can’t we both honor the tremendous sacrifice our fighting forces have made in the defense of our freedoms, and make voting as easy and accessible as possible to eligible voters? Why should these be mutually exclusive?

That may be a true and satisfying feeling for some people, but on the other hand, a lot of people who can’t find friends to stand in line for them and can’t afford to wait two hours for whatever reason will just bail on the whole act of voting. A true democracy accommodates itself to its people, rather than demanding that people jump through hoops for it.

Indeed. Vast majority of nations in the world which conduct free elections (60 out of 74 countries shown here) does so on Saturday or Sunday, specifically so they can get as many people to the polls as possible. That’s what democracies that walk the walk, and not just talk the talk, do. By the way, when did we buy Greenland after all? How did I miss that?

Move in-person voting to Saturday and Sunday. That'll solve a few problems.

How can you be sure you get your vote counted in Chicago? Vote Democrat. 😅
