Who you voted for is secret but that you voted is public information. I haven’t heard if it was predominantly white men who sat it out, but that wouldn’t be hard data to gather.

Tu - your

Tú - you

Why that makes one bitch is beyond me, though. (Maga means female magician)

That’s pretty much always what the polls say for the presidential election. I don’t know why people expect pollsters to have crystal balls. The election is mostly decided on who is going to actually go vote, and a lot of people don’t know the answer to that until election day.

No. No, they don’t.

I don’t think that’s an example. People housing others in their own homes isn’t an example of the perfect solution to homelessness. I don’t know if we have a name for that fallacy but it’s kind of a “put your money where your mouth is” fallacy. If you aren’t willing to give up a lot for the solution, you must not really believe it is a problem/solution.

People being against the ACA because it isn’t single payer health care is an example of the perfect solution fallacy. Or people being against a $15 minimum wage because it really should be $25 now.

It entirely depends on who you would vote for if pushed to vote for the viable candidates. If you would vote for Harris but don’t vote, it helps Trump because that’s one less vote he needs to beat. If you would vote for Trump but don’t vote, it helps Harris because that’s one less vote she needs to beat. So it’s true for every individual’s worst candidate.

When campaigns/people use this message, they’re usually pretty confident them and the person they’re talking to agree on who is the worst.

It’s the DMV or a passport in the US. Since nearly everyone drives in the US, the main form of ID is a drivers license. They tacked the non-driver ID onto the DMV as well because they were already doing most IDs.

There should be a better way to provide everyone with IDs. But that should be done first before tying such an important right to it.

That last line tips into “has to be sarcasm” territory. I don’t think anyone believes America doesn’t meddle.

The immunity thing only protects the president from criminal prosecution; it doesn’t grant them additional powers if they say it’s official. Attempting to pardon people you didn’t have the authority to pardon is not a criminal act. He’d have to go hold a gun to the governor to get that pardon signed or similar.

And if you have the ability to vote in the US election and don’t or vote third party, you are complicit in everything the winner does. Like it or not, your choice enabled their presidency.

The problem is that any stance on Isreal/Gaza by a Democrat will lose them votes. Hence, the wishy-washy, trying to thread the middle, not really saying anything tactic.

They phased out back scatter x-ray like a decade ago. They only use millimeter wave, which doesn’t have ionizing radiation.

Grammar rules exist to make communication clearer. If they’re getting in the way of that, ignoring them is usually fine.

Or the result of cost cutting…

People who can vote but don’t vote for Trump or Harris are complicit in any act that the winner takes. You had your say, and you decided either is fine. Not voting doesn’t get you out of being a citizen of this country.

Are you saying your vote doesn’t change who’s president or that Harris and Trump are the same?

If voting for Harris makes you complicit, not voting does as well. Neither option is “murderer” or “genocidal”. But you contribute your small part to the outcome just by virtue of having some modicum of influence.

A lot of people on the trolley might.

I have never heard that interpretation. Everyone I’ve ever seen talking about it agrees that if you flip the switch, you are complicit. Why else would there even be a discussion of if you should or not?
