  • Fucking Kris Kobach, the attorney general in KS.

    He has a program that checks if you haven’t voted in awhile, if your address doesn’t match, if you were registered somewhere else and didn’t tell them you moved (does anyone do this?).

    And if you have a common name, you’re probably going to get removed from the registers every single time since it’s a very flawed system.

    Many conservative states joined his program.

    I recently started reading Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang. I highly recommend it, especially if you aren’t religious. I saw the author on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and he convinced me to read it.

    The book is about why Christian Nationalists are wrong. They’ve stolen Christianity from true Christians.

    It gives you the tools and knowledge to debate those people by analyzing verse from the Bible more closely with the context to the era.

    Some things you might not know that I learned:

    • Jesus was a Palestinian.

    • Paul never met Jesus. His books of the bible were actually letters he wrote to someone else about the scripture. His words about the scripture weren’t meant to be applied to his own letters.

    • The Bible often contradicts itself. Sometimes, in the same book. Paul, for example, wrote that women should be submissive and never speak, but then he had a female deacon.

    It’s not the employees fault. It’s shitty big box stores that don’t pay a living wage. The only people that want to work there are old ass retired men who just want to drink coffee in the rental center.

    But also, men:

    1. If you ask me to “go find a man”, I am going to find the stupidest one in the store.
    2. I know more than you.
    3. I do not want to come home with you and help you with your project.

    Signed,

  • Wait until you find out between the discrepancy between House districts across states. Theres a special formula used to calculate the number of districts each state gets but it’s kinda BS and still ends up with unfair distribution.

    It’s all because it was capped in the early 20th century instead of just being properly rebalanced.

    WI has 1 house rep for every 575k people and CA gets 1 for every 750k people. If it was distributed evening based on the state with the lowest population, CA would get something like an extra 15 votes.

    *Note - My numbers could be off a bit. I actually did the math myself several months ago. I didn’t look it up to write this, I just am remembering off the top of my head
