If I ever lost my entire ass mind and ran for president one of my policy goals would be to shorten the election season to 90 days before the election, so we don't have to deal with this shit for a whole goddamn year or more.

They do that in many European countries. E.g. you are allowed to hang election posters of a certain size in public lamp posts exactly 4 weeks before the election and they must be taken down no later than 1 week after the election. Fines are heavy.

Also, in many European countries, political ads on TV are banned.

I've avoided going to the movies because I saw a line at the box office. I'm assuming others would treat voting in a similar way. Give people time and options.

I mail mine in. My state send mail in ballots to everyone in the state. It’s awesome!

You could do it in two rounds, a bit like french parliamentary elections. The first round would just serve to gauge candidates general popularity while the second round would be the actual primary.

The problem here is that would require forced voting otherwise how would you determine the %

Take the number of ballots cast and divide by the number of voters on the rolls. It wouldn’t be hard or require forced voting, and I think establish a quorum for elections would make them more legitimate.

It's so anti-Trump voters will waste their votes instead of voting for Haley.

He's declined to be on the ballot because the DNC wanted to change the primary order and now the first in the nation NH primary is "unsanctioned"

I thought Democrat party wasn't holding a primary and just choosing Biden. Did I dream that?

They're not recognising NH because NH refused to move their primary. Essentially it won't count as they'll have no delegates.

Activists are doing a campaign to write him in though.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing! We don't get many of these since we're such a late primary state. (Though I'd much rather just look at a picture, anyway.)

Looks like the competition is really worried about Nikki Haley.

Make America great again Inc and never back down Inc, so Trump and DeSantis

Love to see that republican infighting

Smells like ratfuckery to me. Make it look like MAGA hates Haley and if by some miracle she gets the nomination she can pivot on that MAGA criticism to look more moderate.

Don't forget we don't really know who sent these things.
