73. So, if this was November, you'd be perfectly okay with states postponing elections?

Defying court orders?

I think a lot of people are hypocrites. If this shit was pulled in a general election, you'd all be yelling bloody murder and rightfully so.

We just set precedent that it's perfectly reasonable to postpone an election, defying the law, if extreme circumstances call for it.

If you think this is the right move, you cannot complain if the Republicans try to pull this stunt in November for any reason.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
