There is no real infrastructure required for mail in voting. But thank you for your concern.
People take the mail in ballots and process them same as always.

He might sound somewhat reasonable, but his worldview is fundamentally grounded in bothsiderism. And he gets a bit of a free pass from some people due to his outspoken beliefs about religion.
Plus, he says stuff like this:
And, look, no one is arguing that millennials havenât gotten a rotten deal in this economy but theyâve also gotten used to getting shit for free.
Weâve accepted that the new normal in America is people in their 20s or even in theirs 30s still on their parentsâ cell-phone plans, and healthcare plans, and mom and dad still paying the car insurance. And almost a third of them are still living at home. And if youâre a millennial you may never have known the concept of paying for things that all of us used to pay for. Iâm a baby boomer; I think the natural order of things is to pay for music that I like.
To do less than that doesnât make you a revolutionary, it makes you a person who goes to the bathroom when the check comesâŚ

I just remember his shtick about trying to sound as esoteric as possible more than any particular political lean. Or at least teenage me didnât notice.
A fucking Boomer complaining that millennials get shit for free makes me want to vomit my guts out in rage.

Bill Maher is a disgrace to humanity and if Republicans had any common sense they would pivot away from naked racism and target coastal asshats like Bill Maher. He is everything they should be pretending liberalism is about.

The best thing Bill Maher ever did was the movie Pizza Man.

Jesus Christ, heâs somehow even dumber than I thought. How did his handlers even allow him to do that interview in the first place?

Wait until this dipshit finds out every millenial has a Spotify or Apple Music subscription, thatâll change his tune.
I like Maher, though not enough to subscribe to HBO. Hereâs the opening part of the same monologue:
Even though Bernie Sanders didnât win the nomination, heâs already won the future. (Applause). Last week in this space, I talked about how socialism is something we need more of because capitalism creates horrible incentives like keeping people sick, putting people in jail, always being at war and treating a woman touching Donald Trumpâs hair as breaking news. (Laughter) But letâs not romanticize socialism like conservatives romanticize capitalism. Itâs an economic system, not your first kiss.
It bothers me that when Maher does a portion of a comedy bit that is 50% true instead of 100%, the instinct is to cancel him pretty much solely because youâre the butt of the joke.
Also Iâm a Millennial that gets my music for free, except itâs through FM radio.
Has anyone ITT suggested canceling Maher? Mostly, we seem to be agreeing that he is unfunny. Criticism is not canceling.

If I never see the word cancel used in that context ever again, it would be too soon.
It might be the absolute nut low discussion point where people talk past each other 100% of the time.

I prefer to use cancel in the La Femme Nikita context.

This is a big yawn to me. The easiest and most useless way to try to create the impression of âintelligenceâ is to jump into discussions about alternative options and say âHEY GUYS, ACTUALLY THE PROBLEM IS REALLY HARD AND HERES A BUNCH OF REASONS WHY YOUR SOLUTIONS ARE IMPERFECT. SINCE YOUR SOLUTION IS NOT PERFECT IN EVERY WAY I AM SO SMART AND YOU ARE SO DUMB!â
People worth listening to dont do this. People with useful smarts acknowledge imperfections but embrace the opportunity to implement something that is better than what we have today. They then apply intellectual curiosity to the problem and continue to seek marginal improvement. Maher is a useless âUM, ACTUALLYâŚâ clown.
