I know everyone is focused on the shiny object, and with good reason, but can we also look at this other above-the-fold item, pretty please? Thanks. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/u...

"Democrats use mail voting, drop boxes and voter registration drives to swing elections, they have argued." By maximising the number of eligible voters able to cast their votes, many of whom don't vote Republican.

Especially considering what "legal" now seems to mean

So they know they are going to lose. Good.

Here we go again? Why must we go thru this every election b/c the r's don't like the outcome. Maybe they should just have better ideas and policies?

Constantly crying about the result like this should mean being excluded from future contests. Like a gambler kicked out of Vegas because they won't stop openly cheating.

The very obvious, telegraphed-for-months-in-advance scheme is for them to lob "legal" challenges around and get the six wizard-kings to help them steal one more election.

Too bad it’s nowhere on the front page of their website.

It's getting harder and harder not to be a nihilistic pessimist. But even in the face of that truth, i find it impossible to consider throwing in any metaphorical towels. It just- i'm not surprised by a crappy future, if that's where we end up. But i'll still stand against it every step of the way.

How about that peice cut off "🇮🇱 🎯..."

On an unrelated note (sorry, just saw it in the screenshot): why does the NYT call it the Grand Old Party instead of its actual name?

For headlines in print, it’s usually just because it’s shorter/fits tight spaces.

Would that the Dems had a colorful old-timey moniker that would stop the confusion between democrats and Democrats. It's good that our name represents our core belief. Republicans have done their best with making their name a core belief, but it's weak tea and cannot possibly break through to voters

Maybe I have argued myself out of my point, but there's something fun about "the GOP" as an alternate name.

I honestly don't think they ever plan on winning. But I do think they plan on occupying the White House

Why are you trying to get trump murdered?

They're feeling confident in their corrupt SCOTUS.

Does it name names? I refuse to even pirate this article since there are no sources in the lede.

As it looks likely that Trump will win anyway I guess this isn’t that relevant

Actually I can’t absorb any more news from our failing democracy right now
