Boycott US

I really appreciate it when people want to set the record straight like this, and you're right, the truth is probably worse than this post. But it's not as sensational so people will gravitate to the bullshit tweet instead. Which is the same phenomenon which gave us trump to begin with. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for cutting through the rhetoric and making sure things are clear. I would also like to add that there are no parts in the letter saying that ICE will change their operation tactics and procedurdes (e.g. executions).

Thank you for the clarification and suggestion, but this does not constitute misinformation, as I see it. The Orange Turd's camp are characteristically incoherent. You interpret Bondi's incoherence in a different but valid way. What they are communicating they will do if given the voter database is less important than their interest in forcibly obtaining the voter and other databases - and the linkage of this interest with ICE's presence in MN. Please let me know if I'm off the mark here; if this is misinformation and should be removed

You’re right. I’d bet what they mean to say is that peace would return to the streets because they’d get rid of all dissenters.

They still want to fuck with voting though, which is the gist of the post.

Walz should get a chat box to make up a random list of imaginary voters, print it on a few reams of paper at 5pt type and see if they really leave.

I think fascists see violating boundaries, hypocrisy, and telling lies as signs of power - ie, things to aspire to in their twisted minds. That's dangerous, and not how non-fascists think.

Mainstream traditional and social media have devolved to simply publishing verbatim what the fascists say without offering any kind of context or evaluation of, say, the truthfulness of the statement-now-headline.

I agree with you all around otherwise. I just don't think this behaviour rests on overconfidence or an appraisal of riskiness via the SC. I think it's psychologically must deeper, and recognizing this will help us deal with them better

and a few randomly generated code numbers to just fuck things up in the database

Little Bobby Tables, we call him.

Don't worry they have 10 more months to fix that

You're right, but Trump thinks he won it in all 3 of his elections. He thinks it would have "swung" toward him if it weren't for the Democrats letting "illegals" vote. I can almost guarantee you that's part of why he is targeting Minnesota.

We have to stop engaging them like ANY of their arguments were ever genuine. These hypocritical fuckers will say anything, then say the exact opposite, because they never meant any of it in the first place.

The psychopaths say whatever they think will get their opposition to behave in the way they want. That's it.

Same thing as the 2A crowd: crickets

Name, address, party affiliation, prolly some more identifying information.

Names and party affiliation. Possibly addresses as well. At least tells them whom to purge, at worst tells them where to find them.

Aussie here, it sounds similar to our Electoral Roll.

You show up, they tick your name off (we have compulsory voting), give you the ballots and you vote anonymously and / or draw penises, drop it in the box, waltz off in search of sausages.

A list of people eligible to vote in an election

Pretty sure they don't have everything. And even if they did, what they probably want more than anything is submission. If they can get a state to hand over that kind of highly sensitive information they are sending a signal they can coerce anyone to do anything.

voter registry

i.e name, address, party affiliations, etc..., and whether or not they voted (but the vote itself are secret)

You need to be on the list to vote in elections. You get assigned the closest polling place, then you show up, they ask for you name, and they go through the book thing with a list of voters assgined to that polling place, they find your name then check it of before getting someone to set up the voting machine thing for you. For Pennsylvania, they ask for ID for the first time, they mail you a voter registry card which can be used for as that ID. Next time you don't need an ID, the just ask you for a signature on the voter roll.

If you name isn't on the voter roll at the polling station for some reason (like a mistake they made), you can ask for a privisional ballot then they sort it out later. If you were supposed to be on there, then they count the vote, otherwise its discarded.

So once they have this list, they can just go down the list of democrats and raid every house

My bet is data mining for state subsidy reasons. Or just a "tough guy" approach to intimidation.

Intimidating certain voters not to leave their homes and go vote, obstructing voters, detaining them - lots of non-electronic ways to manipulate an election

That would still be too much data from which they could extrapolate
