No, no. It will be wear sunscreen so the person sitting next to you doesn’t get a sunburn.

Unfortunately the CDC has no idea how to stop a disease spread by gay sex.

Have they announced a ribbon to wear for "monkey pox" awareness month?

Must be an election coming up. The COVID reason is running out of steam rapidly, especially with jump-the-shark attempts like “rebound COVID”.

They are getting really desperate for another mail-in election. Hell, they’re even sending skeletor straight into an announced ambush just to create the next emergency.

What’s wrong with mail in ballots? Just because most old people who are either retired or have too much free time vote Republican is not a good reason to hate on vote by mail.

If you don’t vote by mail, you are doing it wrong. Fill out your ballot from your home, take your time, read up on the issues and candidates, and send it in for free when you’re ready. No need to take time out of your day to go to a polling place which may have a long wait.

Why do I have to mail it in? Why can't I choose the option of voting by computer? And why isn't no-excuse absentee/early voting universal? Why does one party believe that you MUST vote on voting day unless (list of narrow exemptions)?

It’s just as well. My neighborhood really isn’t happy it can’t display a new hip flag every month or so.
We must live on the same street. 😂 I’m in the tan house on the north side of the street near the corner. Look for the Miata and BBQ smoke. Drinks on me.

The far right doesn't like mail in ballots because it makes voting "too easy". If it were easy everyone would do it! Earn your americanism!

Oh, and they know people who vote democrat probably won't make the effort to research their polling place, get there (maybe without a car), run a gauntlet of protesters, "election watchers", and ID requirements, stand in line 2 hours, and vote. All of the previous is intentional, to suppress votes. It's all part of the machine. Oh and mail in ballots can be tampered with, lost, or rejected very easily. As a conservative, I worry about an election "official" "accidentally" losing my ballot after looking at my ballot request on past primaries that doesn't match their party (left). The left wants drop boxes because ballots are harder to track and ballot harvesting is definitely a thing. There's video of it everywhere, people dropping off armfuls of ballots. Sure it was all their family members... right.

I vote how I vote (Republican), but our system is hopelessly broken. Both sides are to blame.

If we can have a secure union election online, we can have a secure political election online. Get rid of the paper altogether, and make it all electronic. If you can log into the IRS or DHS securely to see where your refund/welfare check is, you can vote securely.
