Biden does strike me as the kind of guy who could get Road Head while being the only one in the car.

Cool, but remember: we’re in a post 2020 election world. No lead is truly safe.

In Florida it -is-. Florida is the poster child for election fuckery pre-2020. But through a decade of slow purges and enforcement, it has made an absolute bastion of how to run things. it is a large part of -why- Florida has shifted to become almost an outright red state at this point.

Imagine what would happen if more states were to follow suit.

From what I’ve heard, some states are at least trying to fix things, or at least cement the 2020 methods as a one off.

They are almost all going down the same path as Florida. It will take varying amounts of time-based on the rot, but within 2 decades many purple states will become odly red once election fraud is cracked down on.

Two interesting cases are NY and California, for wildly differing ends of the spectrum.

General consensus amongst activists from my gen is that NY would have been up in the air years ago were it not for shifty business (election fuckery) and population concentration (via NYC). Right now rumor is that between how many people left NYC over the last three years (hundreds of thousands) and how badly the current administration has mismanaged NYC, there is the possibility that they might not be able to pull enough fuckery to be able to enable the steal. We'll need to see what happens, but there's a sort of desperate hope in the air in that circle you don't often see and stranger things have happened. Considering Eric Adams has an approval rating below Joe Biden's, draw your own conclusions.

California, meanwhile, has been in a desperate rush by the rest of the state to cut out the rot for years with no hope in sight. There's simply too many ways in CA for the entrenched to stay there, such as insane primary restrictions that keep reformers from even getting on the ballot, to broad, sweeping corruption that nearly reaches the industrial tier. Nonetheless, the people at the ground level are still trying to fight the good fight, and bless them for it. They are not likely to see results soon, and probably won't within our lifetimes, but they are choosing to do what they can at a local level. It'll be interesting to see where they go with it, if nothing else.

Sounds like that the only solution some may have is mini 1861, with a COD campaign unlike any other, with LA County, Orange County, and Silicon Valley vs everyone else.

Lol decades ago I was on tour with the Tubes as an opening act. Fee Waybill from the Tubes is one of the biggest douchebags and used to relentlessly talk shit to me every day. One day I had had enough and just said flat out, "You shouldn't fuck with me. I'm from NYC. I have a gun on the tour bus." Of course it was bullshit but the pussy called the label and cried, "What kind of people do you have on tour with me?!" and got me thrown off the tour.

100% totally worth it though. He's the biggest phony on the planet.

You know, not related but that's kind of funny, Californians are petrified of New Yorkers. I grew in NorCal and have a city accent, which is a lot like a Brooklyn accent, but isn't at all 100% but even as a kid I was asked if I came from NYC. Now after living in NYC several years I totally sound like a NYer and get asked what part of Brooklyn I'm from all the time.

Honestly, I don't see it happening based on the amount of people I still see masked and I'm including employees this time. Generally, I don't because employees are coerced into doing so, but in a war, there is no such thing as neutrality. The Californians left are people that are perfectly okay with a state seeped in corruption. They simply refuse to see just how messed up everything is even as the power grid gets random blackouts from switching to Green energy.

Just never become compacent. Florida still has attempts at fuckery and constant vigilance and effort to cut out the encroaching rot is required.
