Can't fool me! I've mailed a ballot and early voted in person. I plan on getting a third vote in next Tuesday.

I'm not sure what this translates to, but it's been pretty clear over the last couple weeks that the Harris camp has been laser focused on Trump's rhetoric and potty mouth. While most of the talking points coming from the right and Trump specifically have been attacking her record. If you tell me that week from today will be an electoral landslide for Harris, I can honestly see that happening. I can also see a landslide path for Trump. I can also see multiple recounts, protesting, and a huge sh*tshow taking place.

Seems like they are micro targeting Halely primary voters in the blue wall states. Difference between a landslide on either side is going to be about 40,000 people across 4 states, so should be fun.

There's no smooth way out of this. I don't know what day today is. It's been that kind of week.

Virginia: The Dems are FIGHTING the REMOVAL of thousands of non-U.S. Citizens from the voter roles.

Ohio: The Biden administration is BLOCKING the State from accessing databases to verify if voters are U.S. Citizens

Pennsylvania: A fraudulent voter registration scheme involving thousands of fake applications has been busted.

Nevada: The Dems passed a law that allows mail-in ballots WITHOUT A POSTMARK up to 3-DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION to be counted.

Oregon: R-heavy area had their ballot drop box firebombed.

Georgia: Dems are suing to PREVENT monitoring of drop boxes by video surveillance.

Florida: A USPS worker was arrested for discarding ballots.

And this is just a sample, so far, in the 2024 election cycle. Without trust in our election system, we don't have democracy.

The solution is simple:
1) eliminating mail-in/drop box voting
2) Government-issued ID and proof of citizenship ID for voting
3) signature verification for every vote.

If you are against this, you are simply supporting fraud.

I read that today as well.

I have no idea how accurate the numbers are, but polymarket claims over $1.5 billion wagered on the election. About $950 million on Trump and about $600 million wagered on Harris. That is if I am reading their website correctly.

All the Americans who live overseas, and all our service men/women in far off places around the globe, would like to thank you for not letting them vote.

What's wrong with you?

He gets his news stories from x.

Although I do agree with his points of 2&3.

If you don't like what a guy says and does, then you need to just stick to what it is they actually say and do when you criticize them. There is an entire warehouse full of stuff to be critical of when it comes to Trump! Stick to that!! He's not a Nazi. It's easy to rebut when you try and say he is a Nazi, and it makes YOU look bad instead of him! There's PLENTY of ACTUAL STUFF to choose from!!

What do you suggest?
2 top generals say he is a fascist.
OK...let's say he's NOT Hitler. I'll agree with that.

What should we call him when all of his language (from big lie, to vermin, to the enemy within, to the news media is the enemy, to putting people in detention centers, to using the military against the civilian population, encouraging violence, being convicted of crimes) is directly lifted from a former Nazi?
That's ACTUAL STUFF that you recommended be referenced.

What would you suggest? A Nazi wannabe? Help me out here.
