      - I hear you. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 10:39
      - I dunno. I find those people to be the easiest to hit. It's the ones paying attention that should give bonus points. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:47 3
        
        Daughter used to give bonus points for how high their groceries flew. -- nm - Meg Jun 26, 09:54 2

an auspicious poll result for your Sunday morn: -- (link) - mud Jun 26, 07:11 13
- "No Effect" should have been "Can't Vote Any Harder Than I Already Am" -- nm - Max Jun 26, 07:52 1
  - Not necessarily. If you didn’t vote before and won’t now, there’s no effect. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 09:54
- That actually makes me mad. This is why you always vote, to stop this crap BEFORE it happens. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 07:46 9

    - The turnout in Australia is impressively and consistently high. I had no idea. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 26, 08:02 6

        Don’t know what it’s like there, but it’s intensely easy to vote here. People are way more likely to go in and spoil their ballot than not vote. - mafic Jun 26, 08:17 1
        
        It used to be harder to not vote, but it is getting easier. - Marlowe Jun 26, 08:25
  - I’m mostly mad at the idiots who are like “so you told me to vote in 2020 and this still happened and now you want me to vote harder?” - Tim Jun 26, 07:51
- I’m saying. This combined with the 1/6 hearings has people seriously motivated. Not just to vote, but to run, endorse, donate. - Volnelk Jun 26, 07:15
The kid is spending her last day at Lake Titicaca. Every time she types it my inner Beavis comes out. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 07:03 1

    - Whoa!! -- nm - Epiphany! Jun 26, 10:18
    - What?! Really! Super Cool! -- nm - Flavorize Jun 26, 09:57
    - Huh, I didn’t. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 09:56
