Can't remember who said it best a while as to why Republicans act the way they do

I don't want fill up pages and pages of their misdeeds and abuses .. Merrick Garland, letting Trump evade conviction in Senate, RBG hypocrisy and fake mail boxes etc are a tip of a massive Shitberg.

They don't think twice about being in the wrong morally, ethically or even in some cases legally .. they are not afraid of those consequences. The only thing they are afraid of are electoral consequences. But they seem to suffer none of it ...most of the crooked assholes will be elected right back ..If they keep getting rewarded electorally .. they have no real interest to change they behavior.

Our only hope is changing demographics ...pass an immigration reform bill that quickly grants citizenship to dreamers, put other legal and illegal immigrants on a quick path to citizenship.

Unless we are competitive in all local elections nationwide .. Democrats will have to deal with the stinky Shitberg.

Republican game plan

1) Rush the Srcotus nomination through
2) Defeat Obamacare in court
3) Throw People's lives into chaos
4) Filibuster any new law
5) Blame everything on Democrats
6) Win Mid-term elections
7) Hold Defensive Position


Some stupid people + motivated racists + complacent Democrats + Fox News

=

Feasible Plan.

Microsoft takes down massive hacking operation that could have affected the election

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/12/tech/microsoft-election-ransomware/index.html


The polls mean nothing if Republican assholes aid Russian attack our systems ( by blocking resources needed for the effort) - Kudos to Microsoft



Washington (CNN Business)Microsoft has disrupted a massive hacking operation that it said could have indirectly affected election infrastructure if allowed to continue.

The company said Monday it took down the servers behind Trickbot, an enormous malware network that criminals were using to launch other cyberattacks, including a strain of highly potent ransomware.
Microsoft said it obtained a federal court order to disable the IP addresses associated with Trickbot's servers, and worked with telecom providers around the world to stamp out the network. The action coincides with an offensive by US Cyber Command to disrupt the cybercriminals, at least temporarily, according to The Washington Post.
Microsoft (MSFT) acknowledged that the attackers are likely to adapt and seek to revive their operations eventually. But, Microsoft said, the company's efforts reflect a "new legal approach" that may help authorities fight the network going forward.

Brilliant way to defeat Gerrymandering ...New Zealand's method

Was reading an article on Jacinda Ardern and her political rise from a store worker to PM and noticed a crazy thing they do.


They allocate members of parliament based on the proportion of votes the party gets nationwide ... So if we had the same system here and Say Democrats get 55% of national vote but only 48% of congressional seats ...then the Democratic losers of closest election will be declared winners till 55% of congressional seats are Democratic

Using this system here even at the state level ( will never happen) will :

1) Encourage elec participation everywhere including very red and very blue districts ..becuase your vote can help in another district within your own state

2) Political parties /Politicians will become more moderate everyone will want as many voted in the general election as possible

3) This will totally dilute the effect of gerrymandering ..they can throw the sophisticated software into the trashbin.
