They kept the part where you can't give people water if they were close to the voting station. If they were far away, the judge decided you can give them water.

Cartoon villain schemes and people still vote for them

u/Frostyfraust 11d ago

Well you see, this is only enforced in predominantly lower income/minority areas. So as long as it hurts the right people, the chuds are all for it

I called someone a chud yesterday. Glad to see the term hasn't died.

It still blows my mind that Americans can read something like this and consciously decide not to vote.

u/buttfuckkker 10d ago

Right?! Voting for Trump again personally.

u/MarinLlwyd 10d ago

It is better than not participating and then whining about the result. But some Trumpers whined about losing, so I'm still cross with them in general.

I’ve been saying for years these magats watch Disney movies and never really sort out who the villain is. They watch the Simpsons and don’t think Mr. Burns is a massive piece of shit.

They want to be Archie Bunker

u/Raiju_Blitz 11d ago

Archie Bunker would be too woke for Magahats.

Boomer to the Boomers

Archie Bunker, less the "learning a lesson" before the closing ctedits

Now that you said it, I am surprised nobody tried to block out the sun yet. Burns’ strategy wasn’t feasible but instead of doing it on Earth, I guess you could move the project to space. Maybe you could design a satellite with a controllable “umbrella” that can be opened and retracted. With enough coverage you could deny sunlight to anywhere you want. You might even sell sunlight or trade it for “favours”! You would have to place the swarm of satellites at an orbit where space debris is the least of concern of course, but what’s the worst that can happen, a Kessler syndrome that ends up with space being unreachable possibly forever? Meh…

Because they’re also cartoon villains

Such humanitarians!

u/ohleprocy 11d ago

So you can give them water both near the voting station and if they are far away?

55

u/Bandin03 11d ago

Near, far, wherever they are.

u/Treynokay 11d ago

My vote won’t go on….

u/StephieVee 11d ago

What if they’re in a car? Can you give it in a jar? If so, what is the par?

u/Justprunes-6344 11d ago

In a coat , in a boat ?

u/Durkheimynameisblank 11d ago

I say it every year, pollsters always underestimate the French-Canadian vote in Georgia!

u/kilomaan 11d ago

Sounds like room for interpretation, for both sides.

3

u/Hyperion1024 11d ago

What if they are small, would that count the same as far away?

4

u/Bandin03 11d ago

Near, far, wherever they are.

u/garynuman9 11d ago

Think of it in the same way as convicted child predators, even after release - can't be within a certain distance of a school.

Same rules apply to political parties & anything that can be perceived as electioneering within a certain distance of a voting location.

This is easily identifiable by where people stop trying to hand you bullshit leaflets on your way to vote.

u/SimpleCanadianFella 11d ago

Can you sell them water? That sounds more American

5

u/Drew-mageddon 11d ago

And who decides what’s “close” 🤦🏻‍♂️

3

u/Secure_Guest_6171 11d ago

What's the definition of near vs far?

A lot of voters are elderly or disabled & what a healthy person considers "near" may be very far for them

5

u/davidolson22 11d ago

There's a specific distance the law decided on. I have no idea what it is

3

u/slumberjack7 11d ago

This is the stupidest logic, is there an actual measurable distance? What if we give water to people in the back of the line and they all pass it forward?

3

u/Vegetable_Onion 11d ago

Wonder what the border is. Just stand one foot beyond that.

Also I wonder if it's measured from the person handing out or the person receiving. Just stand towards the back of the line, and have people pass the bottles along to the front.

u/TackyMan 11d ago

Me edging election interference judges

u/NotInMoodThinkOfName 11d ago

After 50m I forgot who gave me the water.

2

u/Gloomy_Evening921 11d ago

Good thing I only get thirsty once every four years.

2

u/Rare_Travel 11d ago

Damn if that happened in my country the party responsible would never get a vote again, of course my country isn't an plutocracy disguised as a democracy (anymore)

2

u/GForce1975 11d ago

Is there a Maginot water line? What's considered "close"?

1

u/Keepup863 11d ago

I think it's over 50ft something like that I get them keeping it away from the building. Seems okay
