I live in the DC area. It's the same even though I know it's a solid blue area for like a 30 mile radius

No... Not made in Wyoming. That's where the LLC is, but not the actual manufacturing facility.

Looks great for most of America. Sadly, I wouldn't qualify.

At least not at the national level. Third parties do fairly well locally.

There were 6 or 7 candidates for President on the Virginia ballot. Would have been great to have RCV at the bare minimum here.

The more people use Firefox, the better. Lots of people had to use Internet Explorer for things... Until they didn't because Chrome was faster and web devs focused on browser-agnostic technologies.

The system he supported wasn't one where the House was capped at a limit causing the Electoral college to be skewed towards the minority.

Issues with the electoral college can be resolved by getting rid of the Reapportionment Act and moving towards Star or RCV voting. Both are significantly easier to do than passing an Amendment to get rid of the EC.

Yep. Virginia has it's statewide position elections on the odd years. So it's congressional and governor elections tend to have fewer people vote. However, the Dems have gotten wise and have managed to turn out more during these elections.

My favorite is how they claim that PRC doesn't invade anyone, ignorant of their attempts in Korea (Korean War) and Vietnam (after the Americans left).

I need this poster or canvas printed so I can hang it on my office wall...

Stupid and unlikely thought I had: The West don't want Russia to know just how weak it really is against the West so that Russia doesn't kick itself into high gear trying to truly modernize its forces by eliminating the grift and corruption that plagues its MIC. A Russia plagued by a corrupt military is a Russia that is essentially toothless in an armed conflict.

Of course, this doesn't excuse not allowing deep Russian strikes with already provided equipment.

Requires constitutional amendment. You know what doesn't? Getting rid of the Reapportionment Act. Expanding the House by a considerable margin will bring back a more fair EC.
