    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.

              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 Florida Panhandle’ is a common nickname for ‘Lower Alabama’ so I can understand why it might be forgotten as another Alabama
