Isn’t there an amendment about this?
Correct. The 3rd amendment requires enlisted military personnel to ask and obtain your consent prior to fucking your wife in your own home.
I dunno I’d probably let someone from Labour fuck my wife, I hear they’re pretty good at fucking the British people.
/s fuck the Tories.
“Definitely bring back prima nocta”
At the risk of explaining a joke into the ground your comment has more than one reference. The UK’s two main parties have their colors flipped. Labour’s color is red.
So does nearly every country except the US. But it must be everyone else who has it flipped
The UK’s two main parties have their colors flipped. Labour’s color is red.
Lol. The USA’s two parties have their colours flipped.
Dems were red for longer on political maps than they have been blue. It was an odd quirk of CNN’s maps in the 2000 election that made Democratic Party = Blue and Republican Party = Red in our minds. The fact that the map was everywhere for weeks while Florida was decided meant that it stuck instead of returning to what it had previously been for decades.
In 2000, the NY Times arbitrarily went with Red for Republicans because the first letter matched. This was the first time they printed color maps for an election. Everyone else kinda just went along with what the NY Times was doing that year.
And yeah, like you say CNN was showing that map a lot in 2000 and once people started saying “red state” and “blue state” it kinda stuck.
In Finaland we also have red for the Social Democrats, and blue for a couple right-wing parties
Blue for right wing, red for left wing has been standard since forever. What colour was the USSR?
What colour was the USSR?
Same color as the Nazis I think.
Same for Canada. Libs are red, cons blue.
Brace yourselves, here come the 3rd amendment absolutist nutjobs.
Oh we’re the nutjobs? I suppose you’d like to have a fireteam of Marines just slamming Rip Its in your kitchen and digging burnpits to dispose of thier shit in your backyard? Yeah, crazy to not want that.
I think the nut job aspect would be leaping to the conclusion they would be forcing people to quarter these folks, as opposed to arranging long term hotels/rentals or maybe voluntary hosts. Employers do this all the time and people don’t presume a constitutional crisis.
Still seems stupid, shouldn’t need that much manpower to help canvas.
This feels like kink-shaming
The Guardian (a left-of-centre British newspaper) did something similar in 2004, getting volunteers to phone voters in battleground states imploring them to vote Democrat. If anything, this boosted the Republican vote, as random foreigners telling citizens who to vote for is not a good look.
Unless they’re Australian or South African billionaires that is.
See the difference is they’re too stupid to know that
Only Americans get to tell other countries who they can and can’t elect!
Meanwhile, Russian propaganda is laundered through US sources backing Republicans
America: looks left, right, and down before proxying the road
Up:
As for the majority, if not the entirety of the Commonwealth I’d think.
