Fun fact: a used condom hanging from a tree branch by the interstate has more rigidity than Ted Cruz’s spine.

It has also been said that it smells better than Ted’s soft teeth.

Well I think the oval office would be much more well suited to a 100% carbon-based humanoid like Ted Cruz:

My wife and I did our part. Now if USPS Express Mail would deliver our ballots, that would be great.

UPDATE:

At this point i'm convinced the USPS has been sabotaged to disrupt mail in voting.

I've had a piece of registered mail go missing just one month ago despite the tracking... I had a small package shipped from NJ end up in Iowa for some reason just yesterday, despite the destination being Boston.

The USPS is in a really poor place with all the private competition taking the lucrative package shipments. It's a shame we basically let them out to dry and accept service level decreases year after year so that we don't have to fund it at all with taxes. IMO there should be a fee levied for every package shipped by third party delivery services that benefits the USPS because mail is simply too important to all aspects of a country to forsake.

Yep, that's a pretty big chunk of it. Most of it's just a typical right-wing grift though, privatizing public services in the name of "cost savings".

Louis DeJoy is the current postmaster general, appointed by Trump in 2020. DeJoy also just so happens to be the founder and former CEO of XPO Logistics, a company that still has active contracts with the USPS to this day.

Color. Me. Suprised.

Probably worth going in person, explaining the situation, and asking for a provisional ballot.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 hours ago

I am over a thousand miles away. Otherwise I would have voted early.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

I cannot wait for the next John Oliver if that happens.

I do not like this man Ted Cruz.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I do not like his ego bruise

I do not like him in defeat

That man Ted Cruise, quickly retreat!

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago

Is that race close? I remember being optimistic before and getting dashed, so I haven't paid attention to that one this time around.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

Yes, Collin Allred has apparently been hitting out of the park, way better and closer than the last D candidate to get close to unseating Ted Cruz

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Cruz won over Beto at 2.6%, 538 is projecting Cruz at +4% over Allred. What am I missing?

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

The Iowa poll is the key to this whole thing.

The Setzer poll tosses out what past elections use as a base for their calculations. She goes off what's happening now and it's an extremely reliable poll.

#VOTE!!

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

I'm going to ask this dumb question in the interest of learning: I understand and agree Setzer is solid at polling Iowa, but what does it have to do with the Texas Senate?

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

Polls are going off old data, not taking in account the new voters, and the Republicans dropped 30 shitty right-wing polls that skewed the data.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Blind optimism

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Can't really trust the polls, from what I've been reading they've been overcompensating for the "Trump R factor" not to mention all the shady Republicans polls that keep dumping trash data that are all "Oh yea it's gonna be a total Trump landslideee!!!! Trust me brooo!"

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago

and unlike Beto, he didn't say Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Beto didn't say that during the senate race he said that during the presidential race a few years later

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

You've had that every day in his abortion of a face, even when he wins an election.
