People who don't deal w/shipments won't know it but the USPS is being gamed big time. The delays are the worst I've ever seen since I've used it. If the dems. don't put the fear of god on this post master lackey; jail time under threat of mail tampering and/or vote tampering, then they're complicit at this point.
Why are we allowed to go to stores, bars, schools, public buildings, and large gatherings as long as we are wearing masks and social distancing as much as possible then? You didn't answer the question. Here is the statement: I've been to very busy voting booths in very busy parts of town and there's never more people than your average downtown hipster bar on a Friday night (thank you early voting!) Bonus, they're more spaced too! My locality had something like 15 voting booths open. We can open more so we limit the number of people to no more than 100-150 at a time. People are already waiting in massive queues safely, and socially distanced, to get tested for COVID. We have both the hardware and the available people to do it and the COVID testing lines were the perfect experiment. Here's another idea. Break up voting into into 50 stations, and make voting go from November 4th to November 10th. Allow POPULATION_SIZE / BOOTHS / 6 people per day, organized by last name, to go to these booths between 8am and 8pm. So the democrats are yet again inconsistent: 1. The pandemic is too dangerous so we need to stay inside so we need to restrict people's movements 2. Protests are too important to stay inside so we need to allow people to congregate to express their first amendment rights 3. The pandemic is too dangerous to allow people to congregate to express their first amendment right to vote Importantly, voting is at least as important as the first amendment right to protest - why the inconsistency? This fact pattern makes no actual sense. Early voting has successfully reduced queue sizes since it's inception. For the people who cannot go to a voting booth because of active COVID we already have a solution for those special cases called absentee ballots. The goal is to reduce the number of absentee votes because they cause problems and allow for election interference even through honest mistakes, not increase the number of absentee votes to the limit of the population.
We're not a police state, it's why you can still go out and mingle. Only one party is advocating doing so. No party is saying go out and protest, but since we're not a police state, yes the dems will say clamping down is unconstitutional. This is not inconsistent. You cannot "remote protest" by mail and expect leadership to take you seriously, we can and have however voted remotely. LOL, let's just brush aside the massive disenfranchisement efforts of in-person voting by GOP states on dem districts. For latest efforts refer to Milwaukee's 12 hr lines, reduced polling places, and reduced hours of operations. Why should inner city adults give up a full hour day's worth of wages, expose themselves to a pandemic for which they won't have health coverage for & additional loss of wages during all time high unemployment, only to be told "sorry we're closed" after being 12+ hrs in line, especially when a 40c stamp would achieve the same purpose?
Doesn't matter to Leftists. They are ok with young or old folks gathering closely together and committing anarchy, but are not ok with young or old folks going to the polls where they would be much more able to social distance. The Left is transparent and disgusting.
NYC is quickly turning into a disaster area... New York City is headed for a serious decline https://nypost.com/2020/08/10/new-york-city-is-headed-for-a-serious-decline/ New York City’s relentless crime spike and chaos on the streets make it painfully clear: Gotham — significant parts of it, anyway — is headed for a steep decline. The big question now is whether it can be stopped. As The Post reported Monday, shootings in the city are running at nearly twice the rate of last year. As of Saturday, there have been 821 outbursts of gunfire, with 1,000 victims this year; 2019 saw just 446 shootings, with 551 victims at this same point. Police recorded a dozen gunplay incidents Saturday into Sunday morning alone. At least four people were killed over the weekend. Vagrants and addicts, meanwhile, began commandeering public streets long before the pandemic, with Mayor Bill de Blasio doing little to address the problem. On Manhattan’s Upper West Side after the outbreak — as The Post reported last week — the city moved hundreds of vagrants into hotels. Men are now seen peeing or masturbating in public or lying sprawled out on the streets. A 40-year-old woman was randomly stabbed near the subway at 72nd Street. Convicted rapists and sex abusers were stuffed into a hotel just a block from the PS 87 playground. The Post’s Doree Lewak reported Sunday that even one of the most vocal anti-crime activists in the area, Elizabeth Carr (among others), is giving up and moving away. “We reached our New York expiration date,” Carr sighed. “Things weren’t heading in the right direction.” A friend, she noted, couldn’t even find a broker to sell her apartment at 72nd Street and Columbus, a usually highly sought-after location. De Blasio’s response is simply to rail that the crime and chaos are “unacceptable.” But his own policies — and new state and city laws — have fueled the problem. Neither he, nor Gov. Andrew Cuomo, nor state lawmakers, all of whom share blame, care to address those laws and policies. Columnist Kyle Smith argues that there’s “no push for law and order” in the city. “New Yorkers aren’t hypocrites,” Smith writes, “they’re masochists.” We hope he’s wrong. Because without public pressure, decline is inevitable.
NYC used to be an awesome city. Deblasio turned it in Seattle and Portland. They should let NYc burn. After all, it was looted, vandalized, and burned by those that live there. Let those scumbags pay for rebuilding.
