No, there is. You just don't see it that way, but that doesn't make what you think true.
If the murder (or perceived murder— even if you think Floyd deserved to die, you must acknowledge that someone who believes he didn't, would naturally be enraged and called to action) of a man isn't justification for rioting, then I don't know what to tell you.
"I can't breathe" is what Floyd uttered before the police killed him. It's become a motto for the rioters.
Explain to me again how it has nothing to do with the police killing people.
No, it isn't less dependable. It's been around since the Civil War, and never had issues since its inception. Much of the US' early infrastructure was based on mailing routes, and in places where polling stations weren't built, mail-in voting was used for decades without fail.
Why has it become an issue only now, when the Republicans stand to lose from it being used? I didn't hear Bush sounding the alarm.
If mail-in ballots are so unreliable, why does the military use them every single year??
And yeah, the Democrats are urging some voters to go in person— because those ballot harvesting boxes were set up by California Republicans and labeled as "official", which is a federal crime.
They only backed off after they got caught.
They're pushing for early voting because mail-in takes time to process.
Republicans are more likely to vote in person (lots think coronavirus is a hoax) so their votes will get counted first. Trump will probably use the initial results (before absentee and mail in ballots are counted) to declare himself the winner of the election.
And I don't like Biden, he's a creep and he's a liberal. Don't lump every person voting blue with him or his ideas.
We're just trying to get Trump out of office so we can fix the economy and get this country running properly again.
He bungled the response to the virus, the economy is starting to tank even in the tech sector.
Trump is a failure.

Lol, you'd still have to pay- restaurant copays! Don't forget deductibles, and a monthly food insurance policy!
Problem is, paying for food and paying for healthcare are totally different endeavors. Very few people are visiting the hospital as often as they eat- so the costs are spread out in larger chunks. I also can't reduce my need to eat by being healthy, like I could with hospital visits.
When it comes time to foot the bill, most people couldn't afford to pay out of pocket- but we all collectively agree that if we pool our money, and operate on the (generally true) assumption that we aren't all going to get expensive injuries at the same time, everyone can be covered.
It's sort of like fractional reserve banking, but for healthcare. So, insurance is in fact necessary. The cost to actually have an operation done would still be too much for most people if they paid in cash- the overhead is large, but not that large.
The problem is companies arbitrarily raising prices for things that cost next to nothing to produce. They need to be stopped.

Nobody's denying your sacrifice, but the cause you're fighting for isn't one we support. From what I understand, you were introduced to a whole different way of life, a different world, full of vibrancy and a deep sense of knowing exactly where you're placed and what your goal, your purpose is.
I felt something similar when I was religious, and was finishing up Christian camp. Everything in the world fell into place, and just seemed... right. Everything I looked at had this sheen on it, this sparkle that lit up my mind and constantly reminded me of the larger reward. It was better than any drug.
I hope that sounds familiar, at least a little, so I can voice the opinion of civilians.
In spite of that experience, that little slice of paradise, being so real to you, it's still terrible. From your point of view, it was a part of a larger mission, but to the Iraqis? Afghans? The list is long, now: you were a scourge and a ruthless killing machine.
Not even getting into the fact that destabilizing governments hurts more people than it helps, and that Bush and his top advisers knew there was no reason to invade as early as May 2003, you need to step out of your perspective. It's a rude, sobering splash of cold water, but it has to be done.
Americans can't go off into the desert killing like that forever. You need to reopen your eyes, and see things for how they really are. As beautiful as it is, that sparkle only exists in your head. And there are other ways to chase adrenaline.
