“artist”
He/They. Trying out some different instances. If you see this handle on another instance, it’s probably me, unless someone else also stole it from Campaign: Skyjacks.

As long as each of those ballots is filled out by an individual who is registered and legally able to vote, and is sealed by that person before it is handed off to whoever, I’m OK with this. I might rib them about their rank hypocrisy, but if they’re not falsifying ballots, they’re not really doing anything wrong.
Seriously, the idea of “ballot harvesting” is bullshit invented by people who just want to make it harder for people to vote because they’re afraid the people might vote against them.
Possibly. He probably could vote by mail if he thinks to request a ballot, but he might think he’ll be out by election day, or he might not trust mail ballots thanks to the Fanta Menace demonizing them.
BTW, the thing with felons voting is state by state, so it’s not a universal thing. Some states allow felons to vote once they’ve completed their sentence, and I think there’s even a couple that allow felons to vote from prison.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure most people aren’t going to cooperate in their own execution.
This isn’t like assisted suicide/euthanasia. These are, by definition, people being forced into this by the state. At least some portion of them are always going to be uncooperative.
The problem with that is, no anesthesiologist will work on an execution (something about “do no harm”), and properly sedating someone without one is more difficult than it appears to be.

When I set out to drive, or paraglide, I do not set out to kill a person.
If I were to execute the death penalty, I would set out to kill a person.
Intent matters.
Absolutely not. But you’ll agree this guy is not innocent. At all.
Perhaps. But the question of the death penalty is larger than just this guy.
That line of reasoning would be paralyzing. There’s a reasonably high chance that you’ll kill an innocent person while driving, but you’re still driving. I suppose the alternative is even worse.
And there, I suppose, is the difference between you and me. You are willing to murder people, some portion of whom you know are not murderers, because somehow you’ve decided that their deaths are worth it in this instance. I am not. I find the murder of even one innocent immoral. And frankly, in a democratic system where the state acts on behalf of the people, we all have that innocent blood on our hands. We are all murderers; we are made that way by the state. Should we all, then, die?
You’re also comparing accidents to deliberate acts in order to justify their murder. Those two things should not be conflated. No execution is an accident.
It’s also not an immoral killing, but that’s a separate conversation.
Actually, let’s have that conversation.
I have two questions for you:
If the answer to those questions is no, then I do not understand how you could ever say the death penalty can be moral.
If you answered yes to the first, you’re a monster. If you answered yes to the second, you’re hopelessly naive.

I’ve heard that they have people on payroll specifically to keep Elon as far away as possible from operations.
Weird thing is, sometimes the “premium” eggs are cheaper than the standard eggs, because the prices don’t fluctuate nearly as much. I have a thing of cage free brown eggs in my fridge that was actually cheaper than the plain, white store brand eggs right now.
Eugene V. Debs did it, but he was a man of considerably greater conviction than Trump.
Oh, they’ve thought Wikipedia was what they now call “woke trash” for decades. That’s why Conservapedia was a thing.
I don’t know… Would it be possible to make hotdish flavored ice cream?
If simply being convicted of a crime makes you a person not worthy of serious consideration in the political sphere, is that implicit endorsement of the legal system? Seems pretty conservative if you ask me.
Tell that to the “party of law and order” over there.
So he’s an artist in the sense that a guy with a sledgehammer is a builder.
