   That’s how Hamas got control of Gaza in 2006 when six parties and four independents won seats in their parliament. Change and Reform (i.e., Hamas) won 44.45% of the vote and 74 seats, while Fatah won 41.43% of the vote and 45 seats. After taking control of the government with a plurality they’ve never let go. That’s certainly worked out well for the Palestinians, hasn’t it? It’s exactly what the American Taliban wants for the U.S., total control of the country by them, and them alone.

   That’s the primary reason I believe the polls are wrong. It’s also the reason that when I think of the possibility of the Adjudicated Rapist, Twice Impeached, Four Times Indicted, Once Convicted Felon, Shitler, becoming president again I don’t wind up under my desk curled into a ball sucking my thumb. Given the overperformance of the Democrats, ever since 2018 really, coupled with the incredible early voting turnout in Georgia, I just can’t help but think that the American Taliban is in for a very bad shock on election day.

   No, I haven’t read that book, in fact I haven’t heard of it, or the series, before. It sounds interesting, I’ll have to check it out.

   >— I can’t wait until humans encounter an actual different race…

   I doubt it will happen, almost certainly not in the lifetime of anyone currently alive. If it ever does I hope it could turn out like the stories in the Sector General series by James White, which I have recently re-read. However, I have very serious doubts that it would turn out that well.

   I was never attracted to organized religion, even as a kid. I think my mind works differently from most peoples’ minds, I just can’t handle the contradictions you’re expected to swallow.

   Well, they are right about one thing, ranked choice voting would give the American Taliban less of a chance to stay in power. That’s how Alaska wound up with a Democratic representative in the last election.

   Regarding the cost of running elections, I was watching one of the news shows a few days ago and they had a British correspondent on. She was talking about the cost of elections and made the comment that the entirety of the last general election in Great Britain cost less than many individual campaigns in the U.S. for members of the House of Representatives much less the Senate races. Based on what she was saying the money spent on just one single Presidential election in the U.S. would have probably funded all the elections in Great Britain over the last twenty years, or more. Their elections cost a fraction of what ours cost and are only a fraction as long. We should take a lesson from that.

   Even the writers of The Twilight Zone wouldn’t have come up with this kind of stupidity, they’d figure nobody would ever believe it.

    I can’t remember now who it was who said: “They sent Australia all the criminals and they sent America all the religious people and I think Australia got the better deal.”
