The responsibility for us ordinary citizens

https://m.dailykos.com/stories/1875195

Working against voter suppression is job number 1. It has to be done on the ground.

Some good ideas there.  My latest car purchase, this summer, was partly done with poll transportation in mind.  We have a fair number of people out here who have some difficulty getting to their polling station.  I will be available all voting day, and during the early voting period.
How is your voting district burdened by voter ‘ suppression’?

Quote
Sealioning

A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comic strip.
I spent five minutes asking polite questions, sealioning him into hours of writing until he got exasperated and told me to fuck off.

Baltimore, that city that Trump promised to help, before he got elected, is going to be the host city for the GOP annual retreat.

That’s good. People need to keep seeing that.

I think the turtle squawked because it felt itself get harpooned.

When you are looking for the proximate cause of the hitler lover’s most recent tirade, it is typically because some more corruption has leaked out of the baby’s diaper spreading stink and stain.

Foreign policy for sale? Trump’s done it.

Republican corruption strikes equally at national monuments and national defense.

This looks like another article of impeachment.

Turtles squawking is also new to me.   Maybe it was a mock turtle.
