Well twitter is a cesspool of bots, mostly international actors, so I don't see how material facts are a problem.

So there is no difference between "spam" and emailing someone information they've requested?

Emailing your audience, who has a legit interest in your products, is not spam.

No, not geriatrics. 40 to 60 year old men and women who have accomplished something other than lie well enough to get elected a dozen times. Each should only serve a max of 8 years before another is voted in.

Oh like alcohol, cigarettes, and other substances that are legal?

We already have enough youthful political activists that are 100% disconnected from the real world.

Why would we want the youngest, least experienced, most ideological, and frequently petulant to elect leaders?

More youth voters won't fix a thing. It will, in fact, make things a lot worse.

1972: UN Climate Barker - "We only have 10 years left to fix the climate"

Looking at today's calendar, someone should tell the four horses of the climate apocalypse that they are 50 years late.

What a nonsensical conclusion

You could say that but you'd be wrong.

Without the EC, you'd have mob rule, which would eventually decay into a tyrannical regime. Please read the federalist papers. All of them.

Do baseball teams win the world series based on how many fly balls they catch in a given year?

Does NASCAR bestow awards based on how much fuel you used?

Does Wimbledon award prize money for how fast you smack a tennis ball?

Using an irrelevant metric to claim a make-believe victory is simply childish and emotional.

Presidential candidates win elections based on the electoral college votes, themselves decided by the popular vote outcome in each state. In 2016, Trump won more states, thusly more EC votes. Therefore he became president and Hillary was sent back to the over-priced lecture circuit.

Any other metric you use to decide who won is simply self-delusion.

Sure it is, and no where did I do such a thing. I merely pointed out the mob attacks that occur when you don't put the pride flag above everything else.

Congress has plenty of time and money. They are too busy jockeying for votes to do anything. The problem with congress is that they are too focused on winning elections instead of doing the GD job. I view this as yet another reason why we need strict term limits for members of congress. There are too many leeches.

A mob of LGBT allies will make your life a living hell if you don't pledge total fealty, so yes, they are fundamentalists and zealots of their own little religion.

It doesn't have to be that way. The USA has more than enough energy reserves, however international lobbying and bribery ensures foreign influence.
