U.S. Election (Day?) 2024 Megathread

With apologies to our many friends and posters outside the United States... it's time for another one of these! Culture war thread rules apply, and you are permitted to openly advocate for or against an issue or candidate on the ballot (if you clearly identify which ballot, and can do so without knocking down any strawmen along the way). "Small-scale" questions and answers are also permitted if you refrain from shitposting or being otherwise insulting to others here. Please keep the spirit of the law--this is a discussion forum!--carefully in mind.

If you're a U.S. citizen with voting rights, your polling place can reportedly be located here.

If you're still researching issues, Ballotpedia is usually reasonably helpful.

Any other reasonably neutral election resources you'd like me to add to this notification, I'm happy to add.

Fair. I had planned just to stay silent and move on, but I was angry at his annoying responses. And I am legitimately annoyed at myself for spending so much time and energy on something inconsequential.

Won’t happen again. I will say formatting his response in such a way as “I demand you respond to me, if you don’t you don’t belong here.” Is way, way more obnoxious than what I wrote.

Also, I’ll also say that stating a culture eats cats is not inflammatory per se. I don’t think pointing out that some European cultures eat horse or certain East Asian cultures eat dog is inflammatory. Or that some cultures eat bugs.

I eat guinea pig and rabbit, for example. Lots of people think of them as pets and think of me as a bit monstrous for eating them.

There’s a tremendous amount of diversity in the world in regards to diet. It’s not inflammatory at all to point that out, and it’s certainly not inflammatory to point out recent arrivals from other countries being their habits with them.

Is it the combination of the two that is automatically inflammatory?
