Even if we were to say that percentage of the population matters more than total count—which, frankly, it does if you're really going to be honest about it—the big difference is that we were vastly better equipped to deal with a pandemic now than a century ago. The first flu vaccines weren't...

I guess it could be worse. They could be like the signs in US stores, bluntly blaming someone other than the real source of their problems.

That's a silver lining for the companies that make voting equipment, I guess. They can put that money to good use suing everyone who's been accusing them of fraud.

The trouble is, even if they sell it, the short-term result is more money for the bastards responsible for this mess. I'd sooner let it all burn.

Every system assumes on some level that the parties involved won't conspire to dismantle it from within. What's the alternative, making a pact with an elder god to come and hit the cosmic reset button should we fail to maintain rule of law?

All joking aside, it really is sad that even in the best-case scenario, this could only ever lead to the company being dissolved and its assets fed to the vultures that are other scummy businesses, with the victims ultimately getting maybe enough money compensation to last them until they can...

Oh, this is going to start a trend, isn't it. Get ready for every red state to turn into a vigilante police-state where armies of brownshirts enforce "laws" against anything and everything the Republicans don't like.

Yeah, California seems to be both the state most likely to push for ranked ballots next, and the one that would probably benefit from it the most.

Is it weird that my first reaction to this was "I hope this prompts some review/thinkpiece videos from the usual suspects"? Because I've wanted Lindsey Ellis to cover this show ever since she was still the Nostalgia Chick—given that it was clearly marketed as "like that other show we already...
