This article title made me laugh so hard for being so absolutely savage

This is the best idea in the history of film.

There was a reviewer or commenter who said "I always keep track of how many mistakes the protagonist makes and after three, I stop reading the story and never look back".

I think about that person pretty frequently. We read for our own enjoyment, and therefore there's no wrong way to read a book so long as you're enjoying yourself, but ... maybe I don't actually believe that. Maybe there are wrong ways to read a book, and this guy found one.

Four years ago the then-president of the United States sabotaged the United States postal service in an attempt to steal an election. The only reason this even made sense is because his party was denying the pandemic, so the other party was the only one urging its voters to vote by mail. Sometimes I think we don't appreciate enough how crazy that was.

My sibling had to drive like an hour to get medication for our cat because the meds that were ordered and shipped in plenty of time simply didn't arrive in the mail. That's always stuck with me because I assume there were people having the same problem with their medications. Think about the population most likely to rely on mail-order medications. Then think about how likely that population is to be vulnerable during a pandemic. I know we've mostly moved on because the mail is functional again and that's good I'm just still mad about it sometimes. Our government did this on purpose. We're not going back.

It's important to note that DeJoy is still in charge of the USPS today!! Because undoing what a corrupt president does is a LOT harder to do than it was for them to do the thing in the first place. It takes years and sometimes it CAN'T be undone. THAT is why you VOTE. That is why you make sure people who would do this DON'T GET BACK INTO OFFICE.

Yeah it's really hard to get rid of him!!! He has apparently started, like, doing his job for the most part, but I think the fact that he's still there is a good reminder of why this still pisses me off.

AVERT THIS SHIT NOW!! CLICK HERE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MOST CONVENIENTLY VOTE IN YOUR STATE! Make a plan and VOTE!

Every 2 years we get to overthrow the legislative branch. Every 4 years we get to overthrow the executive. Not to be melodramatic but: use your power! Make the world a better place! It won't happen overnight but it WILL happen step by step, slightly better law passed by slightly better politician, each a little further than the next. VOTE! (And don't forget the down-ballot races, which affect things like local housing, libraries, and schools!

Vote every time there is an election. Vote for better politicians. Vote.

Am I weird that I think this is a good thing? And men should just deal with it and work on being better people? (saying this as a man with a mother, wife, and daughter)
