Who's already voted?

It's your choice, of course, but I don't think you can take anything in 2020 for granted...even election day.

Watch, there will probably be a fucking hurricane, or earthquake, or wildfire, or murder hornet swarm the size of Massachusetts because...of course 2020.

Again...NY encourages voting. I made sure I got my mailer, just to be sure my polling place would be open, and in the same spot. Early voting starts soon here...I might just pop in and vote early.

NY is solid Blue. I don't have to vote, but there are local/state races that need my vote.

I didn't vote for that and have the VA.

The VA is run by the government.

You have government-run health care.

The VA didn't just appear out of thin air either, it was created by legislation passed by politicians people voted for.

And you should be on your knees for Obama since he's the one who made it possible for you to even have the VA care you have right now that you didn't earn, but you're exploiting nonetheless.

I don't speak Russian. How's yours? Because that's the only place you're going to be welcome when you high-tail it out of the US because everyone was dragging you for being such a fuckup that a reality TV show host conned you like a sucker.

What's sad is the TV host beats the ever loving shit out of anyone you can produce.

Not doing it doesn't negatively impact me in any way. Taxes are always going to go up, they will always be misspent, nothing will ever change that.

So you'd be fine with your county increasing your property taxes so the local high school can build a sports complex, etc? You wouldn't vote to say no?

We've been hearing for the better part of a decade that people are "fleeing California".

California's population grew by 6% from 2010 to 2019...one of the highest rates in the nation:

Attachment 17582

"California is losing residents to other states and as the population ages, but those losses are being more than offset by new births and foreign-born immigration. The number of Californians is still increasing, but our once-robust growth rate has slowed.

California added 141,300 residents between July 2018 and July 2019, bringing the state population to an estimated 39.96 million people, according to the California Department of Finance. But while foreign immigration remains high, more Californians are leaving for other states than vice versa, and have been since the 1990s. The 0.35% growth rate was also a record low."

Which is exactly what I did; voted against two tax increase bills for schools. The problem is growth as more people spread into my county.

[Charoite]

Neither. Also didn't vote for it, so again, how does voting make my life better?

If you don't vote or do any of that stuff, how is it you're on a political forum, let alone a mod on one? Why do you even involve yourself?

I have in Georgia.

Just read that more people have already voted in Texas than voted for Trump in Texas in 2016.

Anyone else early voted yet?

Yes, weeks ago, mailed it in, first time in quite some time I voted absentee, just wanted to see how it felt, uneventful

[Flash]

Nobody voted for it. We vote for candidates, not policies (except state referenda).

Politics is not just about you. If the military prevents a foreign invasion or police prevent a home invasion that benefits you.

He donated it to Biden

He is mad because he did not get the stimulus money.

I voted yesterday.

I have been hearing for more than 20 years that people are fleeing California as it continues its predicted decline into a dystopian hellscape

I don't have any property myself but my mom does. Don't need her paying more when it's already a big chunk. We have a bit under 3 acres and maybe 3,000 + sq ft including the unfinished parts. Before Dad passed away in 05 he was building up the Michigan house to accommodate the whole family. His dream was having all my brothers and sister under one roof for Christmas. It's still an unfinished shell even now.

COVID is shutting down more than just manufacturing, comrade.

Both manufacturing and the economy entered into recessions before COVID.

[LV426]

Leave it to a Leftist to ignore the elephant in the room. lol

Recession started in February.

COVID lockdowns were in mid-late March.

Is time not linear in Conservatardia?
