I think people need to make this comparison RIGHT NOW. Is Elon paying $300M to elect right wingers bc otherwise they'll denaturalize and deport him? Probably not, but if their voters learn he is, it might make the $$ creepy. [Tho I think people need to focus on the child porn Grok makes]

One of the main duties of journalism is to weight credibility. One of my main points is that the article is asking us to trust a tech company's supposed accuracy-- While a Zimbabwean writer who has written for years, should not be trusted to write how they want about their own lives!

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

The current early vote upshot is that pretty much everywhere you look, the Dem % of voters compared to this point in past cycles (2024, 2022) is about 2-5 %age points higher. Dems are super engaged. Rs are hoping for high relative late or Election Day turnout — very hard with an unpopular incumbent

I recommend returning your marked ballot in a local dropbox rather than via USPS if your jurisdiction has those option. (This requires that you be present in your home area; dropboxes from other counties won’t generally ensure you ballot will be received and counted).
