Biden may miss window to appear on Alabama’s presidential ballot, secretary of state says
Joe Biden may hit another bump on his way to getting on a state’s presidential ballot, with Alabama’s top elections official asserting Tuesday that the president and vice president will miss the deadline to be certified as nominees in the state come November given the timing of the Democratic Nation...
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm going to not be the cynic and I'll assume that they will move the date 4 days later for the DNC, like the 7 days they did for the RNC in 2020 with Trump. I hope our political system rewards my faith.
It won’t.
Even if they do, some other bullshit will be afoot.
Because its Alabama, the Alabama of the United States
Is there any other alabama?
If there is... it must suck getting confused for 'Bama all the time.
Thanks, 'Bama
apparently there's an Alabama, Romania; Alabama Ghana; and an Alabama Hill, Queensland, Australia.
now I'm curious what those places are like.
Google maps sent me to a park, for Alabama in Romania. It's effectively a city park, but in a village. Feels like the kind of thing that gets built for fraud purposes. A couple sports (football, basketball, whatever) would've served the village kids much better than park benches.
I dunno. I just looked at it on street view... it seems a decent playground at least.
It's empty, so, maybe you're right, but its not straight up awful like some of the places I've seen.
When I was a kid at least, the kind of play you do in a park, we'd do in the yard. Playing tag, playing with toys, swings, etc. Maybe that's not the case anymore, and maybe the kids are using it. I would've preferred a football field back then, because the school had its gates locked over the weekend.
the problem with football fields- or any kind of sport's pitch, for that matter- is that they tend to be dominated and "reserved" for leagues and stuff. which, maybe, is important. but it's unlikely the people next door get to use it. At least, here. ( I remember the last time I tried to play tennis. the courts were reserved by private instructors until they turned the lights off. there was literally no time from friday night through sunday evening that wasn't booked solid. and there was zero way to get your name on the reservation cycle without being a coach.)
without knowing the circumstances behind it, I'm going to shrug and move on.
This is a village. If there are leagues, they're amateur leagues. Worst case scenario you can't play on one day, but you can play probably the next.
A lot of places in Europe don’t have yards like that, though I’m not sure what Romania’s housing is like.
I'm from Romania, people generally have yards in rural areas.
Edit: If you pull it up on google maps and switch to satellite view, you can see the vast majority of houses in the surrounding have some sort of yard.
‘The Florida Panhandle’ is a common nickname for ‘Lower Alabama’ so I can understand why it might be forgotten as another Alabama…
Hope in one hand, and shit in the other.
