    Don’t believe it. Vote irregardless of anything you hear or see saying it’s a sure loss for them.

    It’s 100% part of the fascist propaganda machine.

        Technically, sadly, irregardless is recognized as an actual word. Sure, with an asterisk, but still.

        The president of my company who always thought he was the sharpest MFer in the room always used it. It was only one of the reasons I disliked him, but it was definitely a reason.

          Technically, no. But in practice yes. Unless you’re going to start in on ruining the word “technically” as well.

            Technically, no.

            The major dictionaries all agree it is in fact a word. Just not the ideal choice.

    They really are trying to cancel the midterms, too. First they tried a last minute reform to USPS ballot handling, then after the courts struck it down they fired the election commissioners.

      Wouldn’t be the first time the courts said no and they did something anyway.

      In my county, Military/overseas absentee voting started yesterday. Early in-person voting for regular folks starts on Oct 6th. I’m planning on voting in that first week after early voting begins.

        Mine comes out late this month and it’s going straight to the county commissioner’s box, not the post office.
