Sure, there are bots. There are also a lot of real people, politicians, journalists, analysts, software engineers etc.

I actually tried to replace X a few weeks ago and considered Mastodon and Bluesky. Nobody I follow on X is on Mastodon, and only three are on Bluesky.

Because it’s the site where you can follow and interact with the most people.

Reduced cruelty? Have you already forgotten about the genocide the U.S. has funded and abetted these past couple years?

Technically speaking, he’s not paying private citizens to vote.

Morals have been thrown out long before.

Of course there will be more legit elections.

Again, this has nothing to do with the current conversation.

No, your comment was not clear.

The goal of voter ID laws is not the disenfranchise certain groups, it is to help prevent voter fraud.

Not necessarily.

What are you talking about?

What does that have to do with the conversation?

You deserve to vote despite not having a home address.

As someone who lived in countries where it’s actually difficult to get administrative tasks done, dropping into the DMV on a whim is not difficult by any measure.

I do care because it seems you choose to do tasks the hard way when there are actually easier routes to accomplish the same thing?

I would argue that having an early voting period spanning over several days is more effective than a single national holiday to enable more people to participate. ​As of August 2024, 47 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, offer early in-person voting to all voters.

Why don’t you renew your vehicle registration online or by mail?

In America you now have to own a passport which most doesn’t, be a member of a party, which 90mil eligible voters aren’t, and hope that your boss has the same political views as you, so he lets you off work to go vote.

Most of the world actually.

Right, it is not.

I don't really care what Trump says. Most modern democracies have voter ID laws, that is the sensible thing to do. It is difficult to prove that voter fraud doesn't happen, are you saying people just haven't been caught? You shouldn't be able to vote as someone else just because you know their name and their address.

Of course, we should also prevent ballot stuffing.

In many cases you can renew an ID online or by mail; if you can't, there's always the option to just show up at the DMV, you don't have to have an appointment.
