Social media was a mistake.
Those things are not produced outside of the US. The US has massive domestic capacity for paper products and similar consumables.

Like anyone needs more evidence of who #JillStein is.
"The Stein campaign paid $100,000 to a consultancy—run by an apparent January 6 rioter"

You love to see it. Putin apologist #JillStein has been making a fool of herself lately and cannot seem to admit that Putin is a war criminal nor that Assad is a war criminal.
The other day Jill Stein admitted to not knowing how many members are in the US congress. There are no members of her party in any state or national elected office. She is a professional candidate who reappears every four years and who exists only to pump up her ego and sow discord.

I agree. What is even more striking is that people who during Obama's administration made his use of drones their primary and loud and constant critique of his administration is that they then fell silent when Trump multiplied drone use many fold. And then ignored when Biden ended the drone war and the war in Afghanistan. As I have tallied the total offensive war deaths under Biden both direct and indirect have been less than all US presidents but one in seven decades.

A reminder to those in the US who do not know Trump during his time as president massively increased the US's drone war and this year had his son in law Kushner working with the Israeli far right to plan for a complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza because they want the land.

I would guess they have small text at the bottom of the page that is a legal disclaimer. The problem is that enforcement of this sort of thing takes years which will be long after the election.

Elon Musk is running a fake voter registration website that tricks US voters into thinking they have registered to vote.
I think if anywhere there are #infosec security experts here on Mastodon who know how to confuse and overwhelm Musk's website trickery.

We are not talking about DNC rules. We are talking about US election laws. I do not think US election laws would magically change no matter the circumstances.

Jon I think the difficulty here is there is no objective right answer. There are no ways to do this that will not break some rule or upset some people. So I believe both the grassroots and elected officials in the Democratic party have chosen the path that is most politically viable in that it retains all of Biden's campaign funds and staff and apparatus as only Harris is allowed to keep that.

It is impossible to determine the best candidate at a convention with no voters present. There is the successor picked by the voters in the 2020 general election.

The only possible candidate is Harris. There is no sign she would do better in a country with various biases.

NYC's murder rate is approximately 5 per 100000. Its COVID deaths have been 397 per 100000.
Updated chart to reflect time as suggested below using data from Statista.

Are there any #PublicHealth people here who are good with estimates and making simple and compelling charts?
Someone might be able to calculate and show what @npub1x3x…qwm0 has been writing about a potential mask ban in New York.
Compare the risk of death from all forms of crime with the risk of death from #COVID at the population level per 100000 people.
Even assuming that masking only prevents some fraction of COVID infections I bet that crime related deaths will be far lower.
