you let them push you around. try pushing back.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I’m not getting “pushed around” by this. And I already voted for Harris.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

good! but still, why do they get to be the ones who do all the intimidation? i think it's time we made them scared.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (26 children)

Because they’re shitty people and threats and intimidation are the only way they can win. We don’t do the same thing, because we are better than them. Stooping to their level would make us just as bad.

i think it's all going to come down to how badly do women not want to be wholly owned by their MAGAt men. that's going to determine whether the american project was successfully killed by putin.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Yes... Counting on white women to beat American fascism. I'm so hopeful.

It's weird that this is public record

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I prefer the French Left take on the idea. They did a campaign awhile back titled: "The fascists are voting, are you?" With a big portrait of the most well-known far right politician in the country. In the end they had to pay a 3000€ fine but I'd say it was worth it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago

3000€ seems like barely a drop in the bucket of campaigning costs, totally worth it lol. To the point that's not even a disincentive.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

Creepy af. Doubt they meant it to sound quite so sinister but still that's too far.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Fascist big brother is always watching, loyalty is the only principle they value.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago

Please tell me you picked this image on purpose.

Just outside the voting location, a giant billboard that says, "Vote yes, says the terrifying building sized gremlin of the state"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 hours ago

Obedience. Loyalty is earned.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as "rigged".

Every breath you take

Every vote you make...

Rich coming from the party of voter suppression...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Hey! HEY! That is a vile insinuation! They'd never do that and also they only suppress votes for the other party and those don't count anyway, so what if they do it when it's perfectly fine seeing how they could never win if they allowed the election to be run fairly, and in conclusion, voter suppression is great and everybody should do it (except for non-republicans).

Wait, what were we talking about again?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

This is "interesting" to be sure.

Its frankly terrible how much stalking the campaigns do. This isn't something that is Republican or Democrat. They wonder why they are having issues with voter turn out but then they do and turn elections into a massive invasion of personal rights. They want to stalk you to get you to believe the current propaganda.

You know what would help in the current political turmoil? Better privacy and transparency.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

Or, at least, better to find voter intimidation laws, which actually get enforced when broken.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago

Disgusting. Highly infuriating.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Never knew republicans thrived on increased turnout. Glad they're still sticking with this democratic principle ig.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago

Republicans need young men to turn out; from what I can see, they are trending conservative. They don't want young women to turn out, because they are trending overwhelmingly liberal.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

It doesn’t really read the same when coming from Democrats, though. Both sides are not the same, and only one of them has been known for making threats of political violence.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago

I know, I'm saying I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the campaign wants increased turnout in the first place.

Really not a great look for liberals, considering Harris/Walz have literally sent handwritten postcards saying the exact same thing to threaten their base.

They really have abandoned all reality lmfao.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

Ha! This clown is talking about Postcards for Democrats, a grassroots organization of volunteers reminding registered Democrats to vote for their local Democratic candidates. Super threatening to … nazis, I guess?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago

What have we come to. Voting should be absolutely private.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago

pics or it didn't happen
