Last post for this thread for tonight. Trust but verify. I don't like Trump. I want him voted out. But mail ballots have existed for years so I'm inclined to trust the ballots without evidence (of the level I have talked about in this thread) to suggest otherwise. 1 - People are still dead...

Final post for tonight. The market was rigged one way for a long time. You had to be white, christian, and male. Over the years things have changed. Now non-white, non-christian, and women and trans can have their voice heard. Freedom of association is a right. If a baker has the right to not...

1 - Still, public and crowded displays were still a bad idea. People are still dying also. I have had co-workers and their families contract it and there have been funerals. A Vaccine is too late for many lives and the economy. 2 - Remember that Trump said Mail-In Ballots was ripe for fraud...

Alan Turing was one of the fathers of Computers as we know it. He helped to break the encrypted messages that Axis used for communications. He was gay. He was charged for being gay by the UK government at the time and was forced to undergo chemical castration for that alone. He is remembered...

The bolded part. COVID makes it unsafe to have such large crowds. Biden was careful, he and Kamala chose to play it safe. Maybe that's why the leads are so razor thin since the Democratic Party wanted to be safe as well and didn't campaign in person. Trump caught COVID and if it's true there has...

"We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal." - US Declaration of Independence. I am asian born into a traditional asian community. Hierarchy was everything. Questioning anyone above you, not matter how legitimate the criticism meant being chastised. Growing up I've...

I am anticipating a recount. That is fair and legal. Whether it will effect the final tally I don't know.

I want everyone to have their voice heard. That is my moral belief. If the US claims to be a free, democratic nation. Then the right to vote is a sacred part of that. "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." - MLK Jr.

Then the question becomes who deserves the right to vote? Race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation shouldn't disqualify people from voting. Which is why there are efforts to educate and inform people to get out to vote. In the US it used to just be white men then it expanded to women and...

Again. My opinionated observation watching the courts shut down the Trump Campaign's lawsuits. So unless the MSM is lying that there weren't legal challenges in the first place then whatever went on in the courtroom did not go in Trump's favor. The Trump Campaign has the right to challenge it...

"I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." - Paul Weyrich, Heritage...

I ... don't really see voter fraud. Just checking the news the courts have mostly went against Trump, they need evidence that can stand in court and it has to be something besides social media posts and unverified claims. Otherwise I'm pretty sure Trump lost because a lot of people didn't...

Fair. Thoughts on Automation and Labor?

Food insecurity and poverty go hand in hand. Not all places have access to healthy food, especially the affordable kind. The bolded part is why I am supportive of welfare. My father nearly died and my family was near bankrupt due to medical costs alongside other expenses piled on thanks to a...

The thing about capitalist society is that not everyone can afford the bare necessities (food, home, healthcare, etc.). UBI is a solution to a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place. Some are poor and have little in the options to lift themselves out of poverty.
