Here's some elucidation. The second infographic is a handy synopsis of the article. Only 10 or 15 steps (that's we know of so far) that have to happen to get to either side of that chart, and what do we do with everyone in the middle? I'd rather shrug and use whatever label they prefer than insist on using the one my layman's knowledge might suggest.

Actually old enough before the election. I was under that misapprehension, as well.

All the sane countries can do their elections in less than a year, possibly because the stagecoach is no longer the best transportation or communication option. If you guys didn't run it like American Fucking Idol, maybe it wouldn't be this difficult.

Now I'll go sit in the corner and hope for the best for you guys while waiting to see if my country shits the bed in a year.

I never knew of the existence of this story. Truly astounding.

Yet. Their TVs, on the other hand, will do everything in their power to go online. Their phones just had an update to their software where the privacy policy is basically "We need access to all your data if you want to use anything beyond the base functionality." So, given the trends, no, I don't put it past them.

I know, just closing all the loopholes for the Olympic-class deniers.

Which is definitely a problem, and could be a reason to not buy newer vehicles, but is a silly reason to not buy EVs.

That's a fair point, and I was aware of your overall intent. I do think it's important to word things carefully, particularly in this area, because there are those who will twist your words to claim that even progressives thought it was a big deal that Obama wore a tan suit.

People certainly talked about it, though.

They only reasons anyone cared about the color of the suit, the type of mustard being used, or his preferred lettuce was because of the color of his skin or the letter behind his name. I've also only heard of a terrorist fist-bump in the context of him, but I saw a whole lot of athletes and celebrities doing that for years before his presidential campaign.

Don't legitimize racism and blatant partisan behavior.

He doesn't really need to. With the notwithstanding clause, he can just say, "That's really nice, but we're still going to do it." It's worth noting that it's only been used 5 times, never at the federal level, and always controversial.
