    I wonder how many Americans have spent decades preparing for a presidential career.

    speaking of voting NPR was doing a piece today about how more and more districts are starting to allow internet voting and also how internet voting is laughably insecure

    https://www.revealnews.org/episodes/how-to-really-steal-an-election/

    p scary

    so when they say 32 states allow internet voting, they're counting six that allow fax but not email. My states is one of the ones that doesn't allow web portal voting but does allow email voting, and I googled and it looks like its only for absentee voters.

    I'm not sure you can really steal an election if you can only affect absentee voting. If turnout jumps to 100% for absentee voters people are going to look into it.

    oh well i guess 8 years of having a good cool president is all america can handle before it goes back to lighting itself on fire it seems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I'm not sure if you're kidding or not but the primaries weren't rigged. That's some bernie bro conspiracy shit.

    I just googled one of the 5 that allows web portal voting - I picked Arizona. 4 of the 5 aren't swing states, the 5th being Missouri. Arizona seems to allow web portal voting if you have a disability and sign up to be a permanent early voter due to your disability.

    If by "rigged" you mean Hillary was better prepared, more organized, understood party rules, had an actual plan, and had the support of high ranking party members who weren't bound by primary results, then yes the primary was rigged.

    Bernie benefitted greatly from not having his past litigated by the right during the camoaign.

    Hillary benefitted from having her past litigated by the right decades ago, so there really werent any surprises.

    Bernie never released his tax returns, he wrote some pretty damaging stuff that never got mainstream attention...I really liked the guy but I also seriosuly doubt he would have handled Trump half as well as Hillary's team has, especially when it came to exploiting his character weaknesses.

    For the most part a story is still a story and words are still words regardless of whether something is live or recorded, spoken or sung.

    I never expected them to ship me a Penny Arcade Forums moderator, but Echo has been great at playing music and placing hentai orders for me.

    It literally is all just information. That's not to diminish it, information is a pretty broad thing! How you experience things differs by medium, but if you can get the same information across and inspire the same response the meritorious aspect of a thing has been accomplished. Obviously no two mediums can be 100% 1:1 in the information they provide the human mind, but a good enough artist can get pretty close.

    Also book <-> novel is almost never going to carry the same information, if simply because artists who are good enough to transfer that have better things to do than to capture shaky cam in a novel.
