Canadian Conservatives can frame the next election as "Liberals = Paper Drinking Straws" and win walking away. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 7, 08:27 5
- Last election the Conservatives WAY underestimated how the majority of Canadians want actions on climate change. They shouldn't make that mistake - Candieman, Candieman, Candieman Oct 7, 09:06 1
  - I waiver on whether Canadians see this area (bag bans, straw bans, etc.) as good policy or political posturing/posing. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 7, 09:13
- Ooh, that’s how you get the Alberta economy back on track. Tar sands = straws! -- nm - mafic Oct 7, 08:30 2

Harris should bring in an extra screen like that dude (Harrison) did in his Senate debate with shithead -- nm* - Booooker Oct 7, 08:23 5
- That was a brilliant move. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 7, 08:50
- I think the new path to victory is to take out Biden and Harris by infecting them. I'm sure Trump thinks it's fair play to kill Joe. -- nm - jnine Oct 7, 08:29
- Can she wear a mask the whole time? -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 7, 08:26 1

- and a can of Lysol and spray Pence down when he walks by -- nm - decline Oct 7, 08:24

'Red Sweater Guy' Ken Bone: Undecided 2020 -- (link) - 🎃 Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 7, 08:13 9
- Undecided = embarrassed to say he wants to vote Trump. -- nm - mafic Oct 7, 08:18 3
  - Or maybe just aware enough that either answer gets him hate mail? -- nm - mafic Oct 7, 08:26 1
    - It's not like he has to publicize it. I call attention whore. -- nm - jnine Oct 7, 08:40
  - yep -- nm - Candieman, Candieman, Candieman Oct 7, 08:18
- "I dunno man, I just can't see any daylight between these two" -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 08:18
- Who gives a fuck what this guy thinks? Clearly he's either an idiot or just an attention seeker if he's undecided. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 08:15 1
  - Agree -- nm - eag Oct 7, 08:35
- Burn him. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 7, 08:14

Did they release the topics for tonight's debate? -- nm - Volnelk Oct 7, 08:01 8
- Trump: Great President or Greatest. Biden: A devil or the Devil. -- nm - VMan Oct 7, 08:03
- 1. Attack Harris's record. 2. Attack Harris' personality. 3. Attack Harris... -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 7, 08:03 6
  - I'm interested to see how early the "So, you are running the COVID task force. The President got COVID and now.... - Volnelk Oct 7, 08:05 1
    - "Libs plotted to give the President this flu-like disease." -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 7, 08:44

        Center square on my bingo card. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 7, 08:10
I know I'm wrong, and I don't care. I hate the banning of straws. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 7, 07:59 27
- Agreed. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 08:59
- I dislike it, both for the reasons you state & for the drawbacks it has on people with disabilities. But I don't oppose it. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 7, 08:22
- I just cannot tolerate paper straws. I got a box of biodegradable “plastic” straws. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 7, 08:21
- My SIL gets pissed off about it for disability reasons. Metal’s dangerous for a lot of people, paper doesn’t last long enough. -- nm - mafic Oct 7, 08:21 3
  - There should be an exemption for disabled people -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 08:22 2
    - There sort of sometimes is? But you have to ask (which is another barrier) and a lot of places just don’t/won’t do it. -- nm - mafic Oct 7, 08:24 1
      - That's an issue that needs to be addressed. There are enough hurdles for them already -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 08:33
- What about reusable plastic ones? -- nm - kelly Oct 7, 08:14 6
  - Maybe silicone, not plastic. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 08:18 3
    - We have these ones, with a straw cleaner. They seem to work fine, but I bet they become bacteria magnets later in their life cycle. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 7, 08:23 2
      - Kind of like these -- (link) - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 7, 08:26 1
        
        We have similar ones as well and also a few metal ones. I drink from my own water bottle but Theresa uses the metal one with her large iced coffee. - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 08:31
  - What are those? I'm mainly thinking about to-go orders / fast food. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 7, 08:16 1
    - Plastic ones that you reuse. -- nm - deecline Oct 7, 08:17
- I think the only time I need one is when I'm drinking a milkshake. Otherwise I'm good never using one again. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 08:04
- Actually - I completely agree with this take. -- nm - Dr. Kevin Christie Oct 7, 08:03
- Subway's paper straws are okay. I haven't experienced any others. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 08:03
- heh. I'm the complete opposite. Hate using straws -- nm - decline Oct 7, 08:01 9
  - Spoken like a man who has never enjoyed a Frappuccino! -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 7, 08:21 2
    - I've had Frappuccinos and have not enjoyed a Frappuccino. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 08:32 1
      - this -- nm - decline Oct 7, 08:35
  - yeah, they're 100% unnecessary -- nm - mud Oct 7, 08:07 2
    - I'm sympathetic to the disability issues. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 08:09 1
      - yeah, they're 80% unnecessary -- nm - mud Oct 7, 08:12
  - That's just weird. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 7, 08:05 1
    - I read it as due to the environment. I mean, I loved them but they gotta go. And yes, milkshake is the lone exception I make. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 7, 08:11
  - Agreed. I now take a water bottle (with coke in it, obvie) with me to eat. Have been for a couple years now. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 7, 08:02
Yes, I would like 500 dollars -- nm - 🧛 pfm in a foodchem mask 💀 Oct 7, 07:56 3
- I need to do a rewatch. I remember seeing it when it came out and I was the only one in the theater for a Saturday afternoon show opening weekend. -- nm - Dano Oct 7, 07:59
- And I would like 500 dollars and I would like 500 more just to be the man who has a thousand dollars to go and buy more and more -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 07:58
- 500 dollars?! -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 07:57
I don't understand anyone who is entering a room with large groups of strangers right now. - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 7, 07:55
Two women get the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, creators of CRISPR. -- (link) - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 7, 07:55
It's just a tragedy that they've had to kill the traditional "VP candidate watermelon seeds spitting contest" this year. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 07:54
Come on! It's because I work for C-SPAN isn't it. - Debate Moderator Oct 7, 07:53
"Sure, he's a psycho. But who takes over if he *dies*?" - Reagen Oct 7, 07:51 1
- "I'll stick with the evil maniac I know, thank you." -- nm - New, Better David Oct 7, 07:58
Regarding mail in ballots, I do see why it will undoubtedly confuse some people, resulting in votes getting tossed. - Volnelk Oct 7, 07:47 21
- Why not just make the outer envelope thicker? -- nm - Max Oct 7, 08:05 5
  - It's not just privacy, it's also identification. - Ender Oct 7, 10:57
  - California used to have that extra envelope. Too many people messed it up so they got rid of it. -- nm - jnine Oct 7, 08:38
  - The point of having a separate envelope is to be able to separate the authentication of the ballot from the tabulation of the vote - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:21
  - Well, we can't make it easy or anything, Max -- nm - GOP Oct 7, 08:20
  - "These have two" -- nm - N Tufnel Oct 7, 08:17
- Is the privacy envelope mandatory or optional? - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 7, 08:01 7
  - Mandatory now in PA, but iinm you are given the opportunity to cure any deficiency. - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:03 5
    - Also in PA you sign the mailing envelope, not the privacy envelope. -- (edited) - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:04 4
      - What they need to do is allow counties to begin counting mail-in ballots before Election Day, which would eliminate the need for a privacy envelope. - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:06 3
        
        I think this is still one of the items that's in the courts. The Bucks Election official was on WHYY yesterday saying it would make a huge difference - decline Oct 7, 08:09 2
        
        Gotcha. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:11
        
        but WHYY -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 08:10
  - Not optional. Votes returned directly in the mail-in envelope are not valid. - Volnelk Oct 7, 08:03
- It's like Yzma scheming how to kill Kuzco. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 07:52
- That is terrible design. Things shouldn't be made harder. -- nm - Candieman, Candieman, Candieman Oct 7, 07:51 4
  - We're ensuring the integrity of the voting process. I promise for reals! -- nm - GOP Oct 7, 07:58
  - Yep -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 07:56 2
    - I guess the premise is that there is no identification on the outside of the mail-in envelope so it wouldn't be tampered with. - Volnelk Oct 7, 07:57 1
      - Which is complete B.S. -- nm - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 7, 08:02
- That's overly complex, imo. Ours (Maryland) is a ballot inside a mail-in envelope that you need to sign the outside. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 7, 07:50
