Should US residents be allowed to vote by mail?

I was on topic until you brought up sweden and shit went down from there. Can you remind me again why sweden was your counterpoint? Or give me an actual good counter point instead of sweden
Sweden handled the Coronavirus the right way by not doing anything differently from how it was beforehand.
 
I actually did NOT say that, no. I guess I would say that people have the right to try to immigrate. If they’re welcome, or tolerated, or able to force their way, then that’s that. History. To the victor go the spoils.
Ah, so "stringent rules and regulations regarding immigration for thee, not for me." Wholly expected, but still exhausting knowing that there is no consistency left in conservative ideology whatsoever these days.

America was not a country before the Founding Fathers. There was no government.

The "government" was made up of localized tribes. Just like there was no centralized government at the time of America's conception, only individual colonies. One is no more legitimate than the other, you're simply scrambling to justify blatant hypocrisy at this point.

Regardless, this is quite far off-topic. That's all the more I have to say on the matter.

So the Russians should have welcomed their new Nazi overlords?

Saxons should have surrendered utterly to the Danes?

Chinese should have built some nice cottages for the Japanese cool dudes, from which to watch the rape of Nanking?


Sure.

Now, you're going to say the 21st century sudden mass migration of Islam into Europe and North America isn't the same. Well, that's your opinion. And I have my own. So we'll just disagree about that.

You asked me if I thought there was a right to immigrate. I'd say generally, the right to defend against invasion takes precedent. But don't worry -- the USA and Europe are barely trying to slow it, let alone stop it. Western Culture is fucked.

Not true at all. You can't compare sweden and usa either way and this has been mentioned before.
Either way that related to the voting syste. Viruses are multiplicative and the impact of in person voting in sweden would be bad but usa would be 10x worse. Also the culture is different many people in the usa are blatant deniers. I've seen cops on duty without masks. Regardless doesn't matter because SWEDEN ISN'T THE USA.

Calm down. I understand. Some cultures are incompatible with each other.
However, if you can go outside and burn down a building with a large group of friends, you can vote in person.

Please, just read what you just said. Then think on it.

Don't be so childish. You know as well as I do that there's a clear difference between soldiers and immigrants. As well as a clear difference between being an immigrant by choice or a refugee by circumstance.

You asked me if I thought there was a right to immigrate. I'd say generally, the right to defend against invasion takes precedent.
Someone watches too much Fox News. Your thought process has been entirely too clouded by irrational fear and ignorance if you're this quick to associate these things with each other.
 
seeing that that bastard trump is fixing the election by crippling the USPS still wouldn't be supprised that this move ends his political career cause many people (like myself) would risk getting Covid by going to city hall/electoral office to drop off my absentee in person rather than trusting USPS getting my vote in on time

It's irrational to be scared of the flu.
Seems like you didn't think enough. Also the Flu was actually VERY dangerous back in the day. It was a scary thing for all and the only reason it seems not scary is because we have a cure for the flu. We don't have a cure for the corona virus.

We don't have a cure for the flu. Why else do you think you have to take annual flu shots?

dude stop being off topic....yeah a "flu" that killed 5+ mil and still counting in the USA shit i'm still supprised I havent died since I'm high risk for death hopefully i can see trump being carted off to prison directly from the WH before i kick the bucket and yet i feel i'll survive far longer than that

If we had no vaccine for it and the flu killed 170,000+ citizens of all ages per year, it'd be irrational not to fear it. "Only" about 3,000 died on 9/11, and the country came to a standstill. You only downplay COVID deaths because your handlers want you to. It's rather Orwellian.

BRUH we have vaccines that prevent the flu, the flu changes, we make new vaccines. We don't have vaccines for the corona virus. ONce again off topic, the flu isn't the corona virus and if you did 5 min of research you would know why that comparison isn't valid.

What is the point of this derailed thread?
Why do people keep going round and round in this excuse for a discussion? Is this a joke?
I only see obtuse people in here that really want to throw shit on the table, dirty any topic and confuse the conversation, and avoid any type of valid discussion.
Why not to abort this thread already if these are the conditions? It is futile.
This thread is a joke.
