In the case of my home, mom's Republican and dad's Democratic, no signs are in the yard at all. They've often gotten into heated discussions about which candidate is worse.

Never about who is better, just who's worse.

wait what's going on with Reddit? I didn't notice anything on mobile

A couple hours ago a change made to the reddit /r/all algorithm (The algorithm that determines how high a post is on /r/all).
The change that was made was, one of the variables in a database that was critical to the function of the algorithm was deleted.

The result was the top NINE HUNDRED posts were all from /r/The_Donald. I checked.


This was causing the algorithm to take an extremely long time to execute simple tasks, and return extremely weird results that shouldn't happen in the first place.

This meant that posts with 0 votes on it got to #1 on /r/all, and because the variable had *something* to do with how active a subreddit is (The_Donald is the most active sub on reddit in terms of users & upvotes per post per hour, followed by subs like /r/funny and /r/politics), this somehow made all of the The_Donald posts jump up and take the top 900 or so spots.

The algorithm isn't designed to work without that variable, so it caused extreme, unexpected behaviour.

that's the best thing that could possibly happen to Reddit. now I understand why meme magic and kek-worship is a thing

i've read that it's some 4chan meme, like when they fake those apple tutorials to make idiots microwave their phones. dunno if thats true, but the posters your seeing on twitter are definitely fakes.

I don't want to choose either option because they both feel so wrong.

I don't want to choose either option because they both feel so wrong.

that's because they both are
and the typical "oh just look up their stances" speech that I normally give to unsure voters doesn't really work here either because there's so much lying and pandering and shady stuff going on both sides. It's extremely hard to predict what will and will not happen with each candidate if they get the whitehouse.

The bill is literally called "Draft America's Daughters Act of 2016" and Hillary supports it.
