Well being as I’m a student, I know first hand that our education systems need more funding, so I went for yes on 13. Our regional people are different, so those names mean nothing to me. Thankfully, I was able to get the Democratic Ballot, though I’m pretty I’m going to switch to Green or Peace and Freedom after this election.

Are you sure you got same props? After all I'm l.a and your a.v.

That's truly insane. And then you wonder why people are sick of politics and why the 2000 Florida elections was such a disaster :lol: You're basically voting for people you don't even know. At least you know the presidential candidates :whistle:

We have some very good non-profit think tanks that help inform people’s vote. We are democracy in the truest sense. A government for the people, by the people. People here are fine with our election system.

Yes, the is a statewide proposition. I also had the countywide one about the firefighters (to which I voted yes), and the one about law enforcement (to which I voted yes).

Except that can’t because they do have to prove basic facts when registering. Plus, the country register checks for irregularities. If voter fraud was such a big issue in California, we’d hear much more about it.

That’s not voter fraud, and California is working on improving those conditions. It takes more time because conservatives hate social programs.

One thing I learned from Americans over the years is that they think they're the best in the world in absolutely everything. They've got the best economy, the best army, the best sport, the best movies, the best songs and of course the best politics. You are truly the ideally perfect American in every sense of the word! :bye:

Arguably one of the best ever :evil:

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
