There is a difference between undesirable corner cases and the garbage that is first past the post. Changing it to even ranked choice increases engagement and how politicians politic. So changing the voting system does indeed help a whole host of problems. There are obviously some other things that need to change like having publicly funded elections, increasing the House of Representatives and having multi member districts, making the Electoral College obsolete, etc.

Do people blindly support it? I live with it and vote accordingly but I also advocate for alternative voting methods. People voting third party do not fully understand that our first past the post system makes it so their candidate has no chance.

But maternal health advocates say Arkansas often begins the process of moving women out of the program after six weeks, or 42 days.

I feel like someone should be auditing the records for this. I can’t see why they would drop people a few weeks early unless there is something fishy going on.

Nobody is asking Biden to fire DeJoy. But Biden has had the ability to replace him since May 2022. The Board of Governors decides the Postmaster General. A simple majority vote can change the Postmaster General. The current make up is

• 3 Republicans
• 3 Democrats
• 1 independent
• 2 vacancies

Only two of those people are Trump nominees. Biden nominated a Republican and a Democrat in May 2022 when he could have just nominated one Democrat which would have given Democrats the majority. Only six governors are required for quorum.

So yes, DeJoy is absolutely Biden’s guy too. The annoying thing is that Democrats in the Senate are fine with it. Biden has two nominees that have been waiting on confirmation for a while now.

Let’s not provide cover for bullshit. USPS governor confirmations cost no political capital.

I have this problem too!

Edit: Nevermind. Fixed it.

Dude. Make it happen. That sounds fucking delicious.

His plan is “give Putin everything he wants.” Real great negotiator there. /s

Fuck that. Trump knows she is a conspiracy theorist. He doesn’t care.

I did read the above explanation and it books down to “it’s complicated” and “Congress doesn’t want to rock the boat.” And you say that there is too much other shit on fire. Guess who pointed this out as a fire? Democrats. I absolutely agree that it is a fire and needs to be put out. . It’s not even that much political capital since they have control of the Senate and a USPS governor confirmation has absolutely never made front page news.

You are assuming that I think they see benefit in keeping him around. I don’t think they do. I also don’t think they ever really gave a shit in the first place.

Bullshit. The Board of Governors can approve a new Postmaster General. The law says that the makeup of the board can only have a majority party such that it has one more member than the minority party.

Current makeup of the board of governors:

• 3 Democrats
• 3 Republicans
• 1 independent
• 2 vacancies

There are only two governors that were placed there by Trump (both Republican). The last two governors placed were a Democrat and a Republican back in May 2022.

So sure, it may be the Republicans and one independent mucking it up but Biden could literally change that at any time and could have since May 2022. His last nominations could have been two Democrats. Instead, it was one Republican and one Democrat.

Let’s not provide cover for bullshit. This is a pretty clear failure by the Biden administration.

Yes. But Biden has had the ability to replace him for a couple years now. He has not.

Probably only Orban who is batshit.

Fuck that. He needs to be put into the ground in this debate.

It’s been a few years since he promised to show his plan in “two weeks.”

Yeah, it’s like dude, you are the one that hired your administration. He is also the one that negotiated with the Taliban for a withdrawal of troops.

I do wish she had called that one out. Violent crime is the lowest it has been in 50 years. Undocumented immigration is below where it was when Trump was in office. Undocumented immigrants commit less crime than citizens.

Literally came from some racist Karen on Facebook. There was an instance of a woman eating a cat in front of her neighbors 150 miles away from where the initial claim “happened.” That woman was American. Damn Americans snatching up your pets and eating them.

Let’s call them what they self admittedly are: terrorists.

Most likely they have been sold the fantasy that someone could break in and kill you at any time so if you do not have a gun at the ready, you will be a statistic.

Seriously. You can open most front door locks with a paper clip and a screw driver. I’m going to guess people like this still have a lock on their door.
