@Fondboy no one is running from you. You're just too lazy to type. I would happily debate you but not during the times you seem to typically be available, because I live in a small house and my kids are sleeping.

@pussydestroyer I looked and it seems you are right that non-citizens are not allowed to vote in federal-level elections. But it is state discretion whether to allow them in local elections. So it could be worse.

yes I am because it takes all concentration and is not something that can be multitasked

@uncephalized 14th and 15th Amendment

15th explains that citizens are allowed to vote. 14th explains who is a citizen

This is for federal elections only. Not local and state

@Fondboy if you can't even do your partners in debate the courtesy of giving them your full attention then you are even less worth talking to than I thought you were. Seriously, how incredibly rude and condescending. "I'll only talk to you if I can also play video games at the same time." Fuck off man.

Yeah thanks @pussydestroyer

@uncephalized Np. Im required to know my rights/responsibilities as a non citizen

Are you trying to become a citizen?

I qualify for citizenship next year. Which yes, Im going to apply for.

Good.

Sounds like we could use you lol.

Id be stupid to not wanna be a citizen of this country

Where do you come from? If you feel like saying.

Im originally from Sweden, married to an american. Been here since 2016 :)

Cool. Best of luck man. Sounds like you are prepared.

Thank you! Im well prepared.

It also helps that Im a criminal justice major, so having knowledge of the constitution is pretty emphasized lol

Haha yeah that helps. Looking to be a lawyer or law enforcement, or what?

Forensics, but I still have to have a criminal justice foundation

Well, the program Im going for is criminal justice with specialization in forensic science

My husband works in law enforcement

Cool. Family business.

We just wanna do good by our community. Even if we live in a liberal shithole right now

I live in NJ. The coasts are generally shitholes by city IMO. But even NJ has pockets of nice communities.

@uncephalized wut? do you do nothing when on the phone? And you cannot pay attention to someone talking and perform and action at the same time?

do you avoid talking and driving

to the passenger

@clubfrills Im outside of Seattle. I feel you.

Hey, we got Corey Booker! He's doing *so much* for Newark here.

Interesting to join the states though. Welcome. I always love that Europeans seem to know more than most of us do about our own politics.

Best of luck.

Also I'm totally new to the server -- long time listener and knew of the discord but kept forgetting to join

so hello!

Thank you! I really love this country and definitely feel like I have more rights and liberties here than in shithole Sweden

Im in the same spot. Ive been a fan of Blonde since late 2016 and then started listening to the show like... a year ago?

Joined the server today

I'm interested in that -- what makes you feel that way? I've had friends in bands joke when they tour Norwegian countries that they have to buy $30 cheeseburgers

But that's off the cuff conversation, I don't know exchange rates and whatnot

I guess I'm not attuned to what makes euro countries less desirable, other than the EU
