I really would have thought that a few of the safe seats would have flipped, considering how deranged he is and how many old-school Republicans have come out against him and endorsed Kamala.
It just goes to show that their Democracy has been so corrupted by decades of abuse that their elections no longer function.
We just need to educate our electorate that we can”t “Throw away your vote” by preferencing a special-interest party above a Major party…
It is also how biased the US electoral system is to maintain the Status Quo.
Every time the Republicans get in, the cripple democracy a little bit at a time. When the Democrats get in, they don’t do anything to roll back the damage.
It has finally come to the Endgame for US Democracy.
All we can do is make sure that our elected officials are aware that it is not something that we want in Australia.
As @tinybreak infers, they may be trying to get people to leave so that they don’t have to payout redundancies.
If you take your LSL and AL, you can bypass all the issues. When you come back you will either be invaluable to them and be able to get a payrise, or they would have decided to issue redundancies after all and you can cash-in again. It is a gamble though.
If it isn’t a complete landslide against the Fascists, it will be a loss to democracy.

It depends on the Jurisdiction.
IANAL, but in Australia, the Driver is responsible if any passengers are not wearing their seatbelt.
Same as. Certain family members expect everyone to be on Facebook and also drink all of Zucks Kool-Aid.
I just don’t go to those family events, unless I’m personally invited. If an event only exists of Facebook, it does not exist to me.
I have 2FA apps on my phone for work. I also have the horrendous HR app for applying for Annual Leave. If they insist that I need more work-related apps on my personal phone, I will be getting a second phone and using that exclusively for work. It will be turned off when I walk out the door at the end of the day and kept in my office drawer.
Some industries are weekend industries; for Hospitality, Retail and Tourism, Saturday and Sunday are the equivalent of Monday and Tuesday for the 9-5 crowd.
That said, Monday and Tuesday are usually the Saturday and Sunday for these workers. Us “Normies” don’t usually particle in fine dining, clubbing or tourist traps on Monday and Tuesdays.
You are right though, Retail and Hospitality workers do need to get better unions so they can get paid a living wage and aren’t being forced to work 7 days a week for 12 hour shifts.
We have a HiSense 60” and have never connected it to any network. It works perfectly as a Dumb Monitor with multiple HDMI inputs and HDCP and HDMI-CEC work perfectly with our AppleTV (HDMI 1) and PS5 (HDMI2) We have TOSLink Optical Audio to an Amp(receiver) and it works almost perfectly, until the Amp chucks a hissy-fit because people forget to turn it off.
The vindictive anarchist in me wants to see what happens when the US crashes and burns, but if Trump gets in it is going to empower the right-wing nut-jobs in other countries too. We will all crash and burn.
Was that the Dave Cristafulli character?
What a blatant scam artist!
I can’t believe that he is gaslighting voters by saying that the existing system is corrupt!
I just now received my ballot and read the “Candidate Leaflet” brochure. We had two choices and they both read like some sort of pre-rolled DnD characters. One was like a generous Cleric and other was like a selfish Necromancer.
I have a feeling that due to the base instincts and gullibility of my neighbours, the evil necromancer will likely get in. His campaign is based on less bile and more road lanes, arresting children and anti-wokeness. The joke is that he has a Hindi or Sikh surname and the most base instinct of my neighbours is racism.
This will be interesting.
Rumour is that the Shahid Drones use Discord as a backend for Command and Control.
😂
Did everyone else get the “Energy Bill Relief” email?
I have a feeling that this is just more “corporate welfare”.
I expect everyone’s Energy providers to inflate prices over the next 4 months by about $75 a month.
I recently changed provider because the government energy website said my bill would be half of what it was; guess what; it was exactly the fucking same!
The sooner the Government de-privatise the Energy sector, the better. We will also see an end to the Fracking Industry’s astroturfing against renewables.
Sorry, was my tasteless joke similar to those deleted comments? I will happily delete it if you don’t approve.
Saved you a click; It was Woodgrove in Melton, It wasn’t Highpoint (if it was Highpoint, it wouldn’t be News).
Maybe ThE aLgOrThMs insistence to put scantily clad women in everyone’s Shorts is just a really bad attempt at a bad Dad Joke.
Curated music services like Spotify and Apple Music can give some great recommendations.
ThE aLgOrYtHm of YouTube gives terrible recommendations. It is as if it has no musical taste whatsoever.
Polls are not Votes. Polls are not subject to the same scrutiny as Votes. Even in regions that have a traditional bias towards one party of the other, there can still (theoretically) be significant statistical differences.
For instance, what if the Mormon women also decided to vote along gender lines; they may informally poll Republican in front of their peers, but may vote Democrat in the privacy of the voting booth.
What if a landslide number of people who have never voted before all vote against the status quo. If they had never voted before, they wouldn’t have been included in any polling.
Whether this is a realistic scenario or not is irrelevant to whether it can be called until at least half the possible votes have been counted in favour of one candidate or the other.
