Hopefully all of those red pill (lost) young males take too many bong rips while listening to Joe Rogan and forget to go vote.

Updates on the Password Disclosure
The Colorado Department of State, with support from the Governor’s Office of Information Technology and Colorado Bureau of Investigation, completed updating passwords and verifying the security of all of the affected active voting systems components on October 31. The Department has confirmed that no settings had been changed on any impacted active voting equipment.
On October 24, the Colorado Department of State became aware of the disclosure of passwords on a subpage of the Department’s website. The Department was informed of the data disclosure by a voting machines vendor. The Department did not initially know whether the passwords were active.
The Department immediately removed the passwords from the website and consulted with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is tasked with assisting states and local governments in protecting the nation’s election infrastructure, as well as Dominion Voting Systems, which provides voting equipment for 62 of Colorado’s 64 counties. At the same time, the Department began looking at web traffic to the subpage and investigated whether there were signs of these passwords or anything related to them on the internet or dark web. The Department determined that the data disclosure did not pose an immediate security threat.
That same evening, the Department began a thorough assessment of whether the passwords were in use in active voting equipment. There are over 2,100 voting components across the state. Making this public without understanding the size and scope of the disclosure, and without having a concrete plan for determining our technical and outreach strategy, would run contrary to cybersecurity best practices and carried a significant risk of fueling the major disinformation environment that surrounds elections today.
On October 25, the Department determined that 34 of Colorado’s 64 counties were affected by the disclosure.
On October 29, the Department finished identifying the specific active voting system components affected by the password disclosure. Department staff immediately began changing passwords. County Clerks were informed that day; many had already learned of the disclosure from a press release issued by the Colorado Republican Party.

Yet some tiny little island with people in Pennsylvania in Allentown or Redding might decide the outcome of this US election. And in turn, that is going to affect you in Ukraine and that war in your backyard going on. Yes, the little tiny Puerto Ricans and their tiny island might decide what the fuck happens in your Estonian reality.
See what I mean? About being interdependent and interrelated? Do you see it now?
You did not give a fuck about our powerlessness within the US government system because for you the US government is the good guy. And the Russians are the bad guys. And you are into that black vs white stark good and bad versions of politics. That is not how the world works John. It never is like that.
What it is about? CARING about the Puerto Ricans. Even though you live in Estonia. We matter. You are a tiny nation. I worry about your sovereignty with a war happening between Russia and Ukraine. I do care.
I am a tourist or outsider though. I can't vote in Estonia. But I care about all humans and injustice. The lack of rights is a concern to me in every nation. No matter how small.
I am not into oooh, big Superpower I need to kiss some ass to the superpower. No. You do not kiss anyone's ass. Especially the powerful nations with nukes. You demand HUMAN RIGHTS from all of them to be respected. To avoid war at all costs, be responsible with their taxpaying citizens and be just with their neighbors.
I do not think you gave a shit about tiny islands who the US has fucked over for over a century. But now? We are the ones who might call this election that does affect your part of the world. That should be a lesson to you John Rawls. RESPECT EVERYONE and FIGHT AGAINST discrimination and lack of voting rights. Hero worshipping Empries is for fools.
That was my point. I hope you finally understand why I did not like your attitude.
BTW, I am used to you by now. I know you are not a bad guy. But you are not the most objective thinker in this forum.
JohnRawls wrote:Its complicated, I understand that you care for Puerto Rico basically and its status either outside the US as an independent country or within the US as a state.
While I am not versed in the history of Puerto Rican politics and referendums on the matter, what I understand is that there is no clear consensus over 50%(better 66% supermajority) for one option or the other and Puerto Rico is conducting or trying to conduct referendums pretty often to figure this one out. And once its done, it is not exactly a smooth sailing from there one way or the other.
The reason why I can't comment on this is because I just don't know and it seems the people of Puerto Rico as a whole are also not sure. But one thing that I can tell you on the subject is that this process will take a bit of time to get resolved both with independence or statehood even if there is a concrete decision on a referendum. Statehood is probably faster but with the crazy situation in the US and how Trump has poisoned the well with MAGA it is really hard to say.
In principle, this should be a bi-partisan agreement if Puerto Rico decides on statehood but in practice with MAGA around it probably won't be that simple. Regarding independence, once again Republicans will be against it to a large degree for once again mostly political reasons.
Rancid wrote:Anyone want to take a bet as to when Trump will claim victory? That will be the trigger point where violence might start to occur at polling stations and counting centers. Hopefully there aren't enough idiots that will get in trouble for their dear leader.
He will time it during the period of the red mirage of course. Like last time around. What a piece of shit.
Rancid wrote:@Tainari88, that's why I've kept saying, the only way to have the Republican grow a pair of balls and finally drop this MAGA/Trump shit, is to be handed a decisive loss. It has to be the biggest lost in the last 30-40 years. Do not misunderstand me though. Republicans are still spinlesses pieces of shit even if they grow that pair of balls.
I have no respect for any Republican or Republican voter/supporter. Fucking 0. Fucking losers and weasels.

Rich wrote:And what is God's name is so bad about fascism anyway?
I'm no fanboi of Bennito Mussolini, but the way the Liberals talk you'd think that Mussolini's regime was the worst government in history. Now there's no doubt that Mussolini's invasion and occupation of Ethiopia was pretty brutal but that was hardly unusual for the time and was relatively mild compared with the Turkish and Kurdish Muslim genocide of the Armenians and Greeks. Even if we look at post war events like the French occupation of Algeria, which wasn't necessarily without the odd "human rights" abuse. Now this legal stuff goes way above my head but some of the super genius human rights lawyers have even suggested that the events of My Lai could have been indicative of a certain laxness on human rights even am0ngst the US armed forces. And then there's the creation of the Jewish state.
But forget about them what about Winston Churchill, his whole adult life was devoted to the expansion and defence of the British Empire. He started his career in the Sudan. He probably spent most of his childhood dreaming of empire expansion. Why in God's name does Mussolini get demonised for wanting a bit of an empire while Churchill gets remembered as a self determination virtuoso.
As I said Mussolini wouldn't be my first choice as a ruler, bur compared to these crazies he was an angel.
Mussolini's downfall was his alliance with Hitler. Hitler's rise was his bad luck. Without Hitler, Mussolini might have remained in power to a ripe old age and be remembered as another Franco or Salazar.

I had the Green Party and the Socialists on my ballot. So? There are options.
My husband is a socialist as well. But he is doing an anti Trump vote. So he voted for Kamala. About twenty minutes ago.
Kamala does not convince me.
Colorado though is not a swing state. So Kamala is going to win in Colorado. My last vote was for Gloria LaRiva in 2020. She is a New Mexican socialist.
She speaks Spanish. Learned it as an adult. Very intelligent woman. But would never win of course. But the important thing is to get people dealing with an alternative.
Puerto Rico has a pair of handsome and bright lawyers on the pro Independence ticket. They vote today too.
Juan Dalmau and the Rep for MVC;
We struck gold with those two. Good looking, outstanding educations, great speakers, bilingual and charismatic. They have it all. Plus being diplomatic too.
This is the message he sent to the entire island. A very nice one.

The ugly dumb candidates are not in Puerto Rico. In these two parties who are united. In pursuing independence. One is pro socialism and the other is not. They are market economy with socialized key areas which are education, healh care and housing. Everything else it is about free market capitalism with taxing the elite and light on taxation on the middle class and nothing on the poor.
Lugaro is atheist and pro legalizing marijuana. The PIP is about democratic socialism and sovereignty in food, ecology, and everything else that socialist internationalist parties are backing all over the world. Small unknown fact, the past prez of the PIP Ruben Berrios Martinez was the head of all worldwide International Socialists. That included Sanchez Zapatero in Spain and the socialists in Sweden. Ruben's first wife was Swedish. From Stockholm.
The leadership in the independence parties are incredibly well educated Puerto Ricans. Some from Oxford University, Harvard, Yale, and every Ivy League you can think of. Most speak at least two languages and are professional economists and engineers, lawyers, doctors and so on.
Most of the PNPs, were not that top shelf people on the island. They were mostly people who were caught in corruption scandals and problems. Including doing a lot of disappearing of funds. Like Ricky Rosselló who got his ass handed to him and forced out of the governorship by the people of the island years ago.
It is a very big storm brewing now. The Hurricane is coming for these sellouts running.

No, this election is strange strange strange. Look at this message.
Something is going on. Colorado is a blue state folks. Why is this happening?
