I’m getting fucking sick of this orange fuck lying and causing the United States to fall behind. END THE TARIFFS. If you don’t vote you’re a part of the problem.

    So far, voting has removed a grand total of 0. Call me a pessimist, but I’m betting it’ll stay at 0 for the foreseeable eternity.

    I’ll settle for calling you a willing liar. Contrary to all expectation, bloodless VOTING just kicked the very entrenched and very supported Viktor Orban out of Hungary this year. Do you need sources for that assertion, or no?

    And stop suggesting it’s not physically safe to vote. Most of us have early voting, voting by mail and/or drop box despite efforts to make those unavailable, and troublemakers physically cannot spread out that far and that thin across every local site every day of the next four weeks. If they try, it will be on Election Day: they simply do not have the resources to mount more of an armed offense.

    In addition, it is illegal by federal law as well as many states law to police within a certain radius of polling sites, meaning that even if the feds try it via ICE, states can shut that shit down themselves, and likely will because all those phone calls and emails to our reps that people like you say are useless are actually NOT: our leaders are feeling the heat, and they’re gonna feel it more. The rest of us are preparing: that shit will not succeed.

    So you can just stop with the low key discouragement and fearmongering, right-wing talking point bullshit. It’s absolute crap on every level, and you obviously don’t live here and have never voted in the US or you’d know how it works and more importantly, which way the wind is blowing on the streets. Even South Carolina is in the mix to flip a Senate seat now, and I can’t think of a harder red state. You’re flatly wrong on all counts.

    TL;DR: Anyone who wants these losers out of office, ignore this fearmongering doomerist shit from people who don’t even live here. It’s safe to vote – and too unsafe NOT to vote.
