It's election time, Beehaw. If you were able to rank the available choices for president, how would you vote?

poll will remain open for all of tomorrow, obviously.

I cannot see a poll here. Obviously, I'm going with "not Hitler." That seems sane.

[–] Reil@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

Click through to the website! It's not a lemmy-embedded poll. I was confused at first, too.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

High five for not Hitler. I swear it must be the widespread lead poisoning. Maybe we should double-check for hookworms too. They might be causing a loss of cognitive function.

It was the intentional dismantling of our educational system. I had a long conversation with Mom yesterday before polls closed on EST, and, yeah ... I was at the tail end of competent education, and it wasn't all that competent. I was told by the English department to never try writing because I was disinterested in regurgitating their takes on historical works, after getting my only F in high school for graphic design in beginning yearbook.

Guess what two things I'd then go on to win national awards for? You can't expect every high school student to take those as Wet Paint signs and then have things weirdly coalesce in college.

dang i'm sorry i missed this. this is so fun!

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago

Sadly, no ranked choice here, so Kamala Harris on my official ballot. If I had ranked choice it would be:

  1. Claudia de la Cruz

  2. Cornell West

  3. Kamala Harris

So far there is a great love for Vermin Supreme

As deserved. The pony handouts aren’t going to happen by themselves.
