So at what point can we consider the USA to be no longer democratic at all? It has already been downgraded from being a liberal democracy.
Pussy
So, poll watchers? A thing we already have?
No, guys with guns to make sure you vote the right way.
Not at my polling location they won't. Have you signed up to be an election judge yet?
Why aren't they going to your location?
The president says yes, you say no. Which one do you think determines whether armed goons show up? Can you tell me why "not at my polling location they won't"?
Friendly reminder that not everyone on the internet is American, and in fact most aren't.
Trump says a lot of shit that isn't true. And he does it with the goal of scaring people.
If you're not a poll worker and not even American, I'm not gonna listen to you tell me how elections in America work. I and thousands of others like me are the ones who run them.
I'm a poll worker and American. Can you answer that question?
And do you plan on rolling over if anyone tries to interfere with voters at your polling place or do you plan on doing your job?
Yep, I am sure my historical heritage has no relevance in how elections can be suspended.
Good luck!
FYI it's illegal to post soldiers at polling stations in the US
Tell the police
lol.
Are you ready to shoot over it? Because ain’t nobody saving us but us.
Yes, and they know it, but they don't care. They believe in the might is right. People need to wake up. The rule of law is over.
If we can't place our ballots, we'll have to vote with bullets. Of course that's what they think they want.
Show me one example of trump giving a fuck about the legality of something he wants
Tariffs were overturned by the Supreme Court.
I guess this will also get overturned after six months.
Election will not get redone, but everyone will be very sorry and promise not to do it again.
Have you signed up to be a poll worker yet?
Why are you asking this question over and over?
As an alternative we'll accept someone holding him accountable for an illegal action.
A few have tried, one came close.
It won’t be soldiers. It’ll be Proud Boys and your local bigot embracing the opportunity to harass women, minorities, LGBTQ (or people they assume are)… basically anyone that doesn’t look MAGA material. It’s an open call for mob intimidation under the auspices of “protecting election integrity”.

Legality doesn't seem to be an issue for the current administration.

Well, we had the chance to save our democracy, and we blew it because of eggs. Say, how's that affordability crisis looking nowadays?

More like "election preventing army". Trump and the GOP can no longer afford free and democratic votes.
Really... The world is watching you yankers. At this point. If the un is not controlling your election. We know it's rigged. And you are completely useless. Won't stand up for yourselves. And the sooner we convince our governments of this the best. The USA is over.
Thanks for the encouragement. Fuck you too.
What exactly should random people living paycheck to paycheck do about our entire government being controlled by fascists?
We are already protesting and striking.
Our leaders have failed us. The good ones failed to stand up to the bad ones, and the bad ones are in charge now and control the media, the military, and the Supreme Court.
You want Dave from Burger King and Emmett from Starbucks to resort to guerilla warfare?
Should we be committing harkiri in the streets?
You think you’re angry?
Imagine being here, watching it happen face to face, arguing with a never ending army of brainwashed people who get off on cruelty because they’d rather burn it all down than let immigrants and trans people live in peace.
To be honest, that's what the American people have always done throughout history. When the elite got out of hand, the people revolted and successfully brought them down. So yes, Dave from Burger King should be there in the streets too. At the biggest anti-Trump protest the US had so far, only 2% of the American people were present. And those who were present waved signs for exactly one day and then went home. That is simply insufficient.
