If you ever find yourself advocating against voting deciding elections in favor of your own personal opinion trumping all others, you might just be a fascist. Of course, he'd probably take that as a complement.

I'm from this state but I want to control another state's politics because that is normal /s
If someone was smart they would have asked the 101st to dust off the old 2003 Iraqi voting procedures. They're there and they have that knowledge base squirreled away somewhere. But no, instead we're just going to assume things.
“It’s profoundly antidemocratic to take the right to vote for president away from the people,” said Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School who worked for the Department of Justice under Barack Obama and as a voting rights advisor for Joe Biden. “It seems like an idea prompted by panic, rather than allowing the people to express their voice.”
There's no panic. It's just an opportunistic lie to remove any chance of Harris winning. Cause they're fucking liars and cheaters.
The number of people still giving the fascists benefit of the doubt when they should fucking know better is too damn high!
Especially the fucking news.
They cover those trump rallies like they are fun parties. Then are sure to repeat all of his lies. It's ridiculous. The news every night is like "such and such happens. Then trump said...." As if what he says is equally as important as what actually happened.
They reported on him trying to overturn the last election live on every single network then just continue to cover him like that never happened. Infuriating
Even suggesting this should mean he never works in politics again as it is clearly illegal and against the will of the people. But we know that's never gonna fucking happen since the Republicans love to ignore our electoral structure when they don't like it.
What's with all you people always making things about politics every time a politician says something politically alarming? Can't you see it was a joke or not that big of a deal or not meant to upset people?
Why would you threaten a politician's career just because they were threatening to sabotage an election by leveraging the current chaos due to lacking resources after a natural disaster? You know, the chaos caused by insufficient disaster relief funds after people like Andy Harris forced approval of lower than necessary funds.
\s except for that last sentence. Fuck this unqualified asshole.
And I want to retire at 38 and marry Aubrey Plaza. Fuck off, clown.
I mean we could take the honest route and try to give people there ways to vote even with the conditions they're in...or we can just use them as a crisis for political gain. Which would a Republican do? Oh, I see.
Give everybody mail in ballots and drop boxes so all votes get counted...
Oh, wait...
Ooh, they're scared.
Fuck. No.
Subverting the will of the people "makes a lot of sense" says fascist from another state.
This is so absurd I can’t even be witty about it.
Nazis kill humor, we don't let them win.
Go to darker places :D
RIP satire. :(
