Did you miss the “and even if he were able to get past that” part? You know, the rest of my comment?

I don’t deny that he’ll try, but them passing laws like the SAVE act show that they’re still planning on having elections. There would be no need to do voter suppression if you were just going to cancel the election. That’s the thing I’m really saying - the elections may not be free, they will cheat (or at least try to cheat), but there will be ““elections””. I’d rather not make people feel like they shouldn’t bother voting because “the election is going to be cancelled anyway”. The more people that turn out, the harder it is to cheat.

I didn’t say he operates within the checks and balances of the system. Those seats will be filled one way or another, meaning that there will likely be elections of some sort. It’s just predetermined, like Russia. That is more plausible than fully cancelling the elections under martial law. Why do that when you can keep up the ruse of ““elections””? Why would you forcibly cancel them, making it so people directly see that you’re doing so, and give them the chance to rise up against you?

Similarly, why bother with voter suppression bills like the SAVE act if you’re going to throw it all in the trash anyway?

This is exactly why Russia and countries like it still hold ““elections””. It’s easier to control the population when they feel like they still have a say.

I said:

People should have been using the ballot drop boxes all along anyway.

You said:

They do

So I said:

Then, according to you, this order wouldn’t affect anything?

Then you said

No liar

You are conveniently leaving out where I said that it can be fought or evaded with efficient and frequent placement of ballot boxes.

That is fighting it.

What is your suggestion, then?

What is the GOP going to do about the record amount of retirements and empty seats if they cancel the elections?

They need the elections as much as the Dems. It’s a matter of how free the elections will be. They will happen, but will they be predetermined like in Russia, or will they be the US standard level of BS?

I’m real tired of hearing this line at this point. States run the elections, and even if he were able to get past that, republicans are on the same ballot and are also retiring in huge numbers. They need the elections to happen, they’re going to happen.

Now, you could argue that the elections won’t be free elections, and that would make more sense. Even shitholes like Russia have ““elections””, but of course the result is predetermined. Nonetheless, Russia has ““elections””. That’s not even getting into how the US has never cancelled an election, not even in the civil war.

Saying he’s trying to cancel the election just makes people who are considering to vote to change something for once less likely to do so, because why would they if they’re going to be cancelled anyway. You shouldn’t do the job of voter suppression for the GOP.

I disagree, in my case as someone with insomnia. I take it for a couple of things, one being insomnia. When I take my insomnia dosage, I sleep very well and very deeply. The key for me is to only take that higher insomnia dosage when I really need it, that way my tolerance for it doesn’t increase.

So fuck everyone else that didn’t, according to you? The vast majority can get fucked? How nice of you.

I’m a liar how? I said that people should be using the ballot boxes anyway, and you said “watch them seize those too” even though it’s much easier for them to seize the mail since it goes through a federal agency, thus why I said they should bypass the federal order by using systematic and efficient placement of dropboxes. Because guess what, the order only applies to the mail. It doesn’t apply to the ballot boxes. I’m not sure what your real argument is at this point.

These data centers are NOT being used for research. Universities and research companies generally have their own computer clusters for that.

These are being designed and built for LLMs and LLMs only.

Plus, the US has already lost. We’ve cut off our allies, destroyed our trade partnerships, made the economy unsustainable, and also caused the very brain drain you mention here. We’re cooked for decades at the least.

That’s a bubble, quite literally. Collapsing into other companies. Do you think when people say bubble they mean that all companies related to LLMs will go under forever?

Their comment literally mentions Google and Facebook as the survivors, so I’m not sure what good it does to include them in your argument.

How dare she make him talk to his children.

Didn’t Mike Lee want an appointment and that’s one of the reasons he sucks Trump’s mushroom cock?

Then, according to you, this order wouldn’t affect anything?

I didn’t say it wouldn’t, I said that it doesn’t apply to this instance. People should have been using the ballot drop boxes all along anyway.

Seize them out of the sealed ballot boxes? I mean, maybe, but that’s not what is being referred to here - most states with mail in ballots also have drop boxes that do not require mail.

The USPS can be bypassed through strategic and frequent placement of ballot dropboxes. I already didn’t use the postal service after the bullshit Trump tried to pull in 2020. It’s better to use the dropboxes in every way except for one, and in my case it’s only a block to get to the dropbox so it doesn’t even apply.
