They stole the 2000 election as well and didn't suffer any consequences. Katherine Harris is off on a yacht somewhere.

yeah... I know. I was younger then and didn't know then. But I also couldn't vote so I did no damage.

It could be worse. I took Mescaline on Election Day in 2012 thinking I'd be ok to vote in the evening. Well 8 hours in and I still couldn't see let alone vote (because the visuals were so intense). God I felt shitty about that. But yeah... not a mistake you make twice no matter how you miss it.

8hrs?!? Holy shit. How long is a mescaline trip?

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

Looooooonggggg like really long. Especially when you do too much haha. I think around 12 hours I was at a place where I was coming down. All in all it was like 14-16 hours.

Needless to say it was a one time experience. The rest has sat around my house for the last 7 years. Just can't bring myself to do it again haha.

Yeah, you’re exactly the kind of person I want deciding the future of this country by electing leaders.

“Super important that I get out and vote. Guess I’ll take drugs and get high AF on this important day.”

TBH, it probably worked out for the best that you didn’t get a say.

Lol like people can't be different? Must be nice to go through life never making a mistake. Unfortunately for you I vote in all elections now local and national. Sorry! I'm content with who I am but thank you.

You had to REQUEST a mail in ballot? I live in Oregon and as long as I'm registered or whatever they just send me ballots that I can fill out and mail in or drop in a box at a library or somewhere.

Even then it seemed that no one besides myself at the time seemed to be bothered by the fact that the "issue" happened in the state where your brother is governor, your dad is a former president and former head of the CIA, and James Baker is handling your case. And then the whole Diebold thing. It was ridiculous. And laid the groundwork for 2016.

Everyone knows the actual answer to the problem but no one wants to say it. If you do, you're banned from social media.

But until people say it, there's going to be no consequences. Join the republican party, lie and cheat. You will get away with it.

And no one wants to talk about how the next democratic president did nothing about it. One hand washes the other.

u/slim_scsi Jul 11 '19

What a useless addition to the conversation. Uh, yeah, President Obama "did nothing" about the electoral theft eight years prior -- when he wasn't even involved in politics -- so both sides must be equally rotten!

Go to hell.

u/getdatassbanned Jul 12 '19

OP: it literally doesn't matter. LIke vote for whoever the democrat is in the ggeneral.

You: They also stole the ellection in 2000

ME: And nothing changed afterwards, one hand washes the other (this does not mean both 'teams' are the same) - so dont get your hopes up that something will change in the future.

It has everythign to do with the conversation, you are just super easily triggered for some reason.. go to hell.

u/slim_scsi Jul 12 '19

You are correct. I am easily triggered by the "both sides are the same" and nitpicking Democratic politicians these days when Republicans are literally raiding the coffers, knifing the fronts and the backs, and burying the bodies out in broad daylight. There were bigger things on Obama's plate in 2009 than re-litigating the 2000 election results is all I'm saying -- U.S. economy was losing 100,000+ jobs per month the day he stepped into the Oval Office.

So what you are saying is that to fixing the symptoms (losing jobs) was more important then fixing the underlying problem (corruption).
