Every election year, in the interest of full disclosure, @reason lets its writers explain who they are voting for. I am voting for LP candidate Jo Jorgensen, for the following reasons. reason.com/2020/10/12/how…
The bottom line is that Jorgensen recognizes the government's coronavirus response "has been the biggest assault on our liberties in our lifetime," which is more than sufficient to earn my vote in these insane times.
I cannot vote for Trump. Biden had a small opportunity to win me over by picking an independent-minded veep—I would have voted for him had he selected Tulsi Gabbard, for instance. He didn't, obviously, so no vote.
The second question, about voter regrets, allowed to express something that isn't actually a regret, but nevertheless: @DavidAFrench! Why? Why??

News organizations should not repeat her words without what now? Ridiculous. (And when did "sexual preference" become offensive? Five seconds ago?)
Yes, I am aware that "orientation" has existed for some time as an alternative, and some people have—dare I say it—a *preference* for it. I really don't think the former is typically malicious, though.
This is really being made into a thing, I guess? "Orientation" can also be used in a way that implies a choice, though: i.e. people say "political orientation" all the time. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Thread: I just had an unbelievable encounter with a Karen in DC. I was running outside—unmasked, which is permitted during recreation per the mayor’s orders—and as I passed a woman (also running) she pulled down her mask and loudly blew air at me on purpose.
I stopped, whirled around, and demanded to know whether she had just done what I thought she had done. She said yes, but she was only treating me the way I was treating other people (by running without a mask).
Again, running without a mask is permitted. If you think you are likely to catch covid outdoors during brief, incidental contact with another person—in a city with an extremely low infection rate—please educate yourself.

Was just instructed (nicely) by the protesters not to take pictures.
Lots of banging, fireworks, and some smoke canisters.
Many on foot, many bicycles, some scooters, some skateboards, some fancy motor wheels, and at least one roller blader, who wiped out right next to me. As an infrequent blader, I can relate. (I’m on a scooter right now.)

Even if the Breonna Taylor raid was technically not a "no-knock" raid, consider that the denizens of a living unit might be reasonably confused, or fail to understand who was at the door, if police come at midnight, shout "police" and then bang down the door.
One cop was charged with recklessly endangering the neighbors by shooting wildly, which seems like just the absolute bare minimum accountability citizens should want in this case. reason.com/2020/09/23/gra… via @cjciaramella
Fellow citizens, are low level drug busts so important to you that you want the police breaking into people's house in the middle of the night and shooting guns at their neighbors during the ensuing confusion? Not to me.

NYU suspended a student for attending an outdoor, rooftop party. This puts his scholarship and employment in jeopardy. The catch? He was taking all online classes, and had no plans to set foot on campus. reason.com/2020/09/17/nyu…
"I am not a student who will be staying at or near NYU housing, nor will I be entering Campus Grounds or NYU buildings as I am currently enrolled in all online courses," he wrote in his appeal.

It was rejected.
Note that NYU learned of the party because the student appeared in a short video, circulated on social media and then reported to the administration using its hotline for covid snitching. It's an NYU email address, but might as well be 1-800-KAREN. reason.com/2020/09/17/nyu…
