There are a couple artists I'm really into right now:

* Supertramp (favorites: School, Bloody Well Right, Just Another Nervous Wreck)
* Aimee Mann (favorites: It's Not Safe, Red Flag Diver, Poor Judge)
* The Pretenders (favorites: Talk of the Town, Birds of Paradise, Holy Commotion)

can we impeach him too?


Even if it were possible, no matter how many people we impeach, it's terrible Republicans (redundant phrase) and a couple corporatist independents all the way down the line.

buttressed by the blindest and densest of the Trump supporters and hopelessly gerrymandered districts


As well as voter suppression and electronic vote rigging, which have given Republicans numerous unearned victories for the past 20 or so years.

It's not voter suppression

it's VOTER ID

get it right


At this point, there are even nastier tricks than voter ID, like a fraudulent list of voters to purge adopted by Republican election officials around the country.

Would it be too much of a hassle if we switched back to pen-and-paper voting? :P


It wouldn't be a hassle at all, and in fact, most other modern democracies do use hand-counted paper ballots. But the political establishment (both Democrats and Republicans) would never want to get rid of a voting system that maintains their power.

What, do the USA have fully-electronic voting? Wow. In France it's still paper ballots and hand-counting. Also, the catch is that the USA count way more inhabitants than other European democracies.


Yes; with few exceptions, all votes in US elections are counted by computers: they're either cast and counted on touchscreens, or cast on paper ballots that are counted by optical scanners. I've heard the argument that the US population size would make hand counting more difficult, but that's not really the case: each individual voting precinct can hand-count in parallel and have the results ready within a reasonable time.

and it's still possible to rig elections, no matter whether you vote by fancypants voting computers or by paper ballots or by shitting in the ballot box


That's true, but it's nearly impossible to systematically rig elections without computer counting. The level of coordination would most likely require too many people to be feasible. (That's also why "voter fraud" is a non-issue - you generally can't organize a sufficient number of illegal voters to swing an election) Computer code is inherently replicable and centralized, which allows election fraud to be employed across the entire country by a small group of people.

I was part of the Super Mario Galaxy 2.5 project (RIP), which ended up moving to K64 back in 2012.
