    I met one of these "ballot boys", when he asked me with his rifle on a sling and un-armored airsoft vest, who I was voting for - I had to stop in my tracks, scratch my head for a moment before saying clearly to the lad: "Whichever pisses you off." before droppin' my blue vote off.
    I heard him mutter as I was walking away, "I'll gun you down..."
    I said nothing in response, but - as I am writing this here, today, he did no such thing.

      Maybe if some people turned up on the rooftops with Remington 700s and thermal vision, you know, the best defence against a bad guy with a gun is good guys with guns... would it be an uncomfortable thought to ballot watchers that someone is watching them?

    • @fcsvazrael7408
      @fcsvazrael7408 Рік тому +9

      Thermals in during the day? Comical, man. That idea in of itself would simply backfire, anyway. The answer isn't simply "more guns".
      I get it sounds easy to stand by the old mantra,
      "The best defense against a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun."
      But that argument leaves out so many other facets, disregarding consequence.
      I get that ballot boy was way out of depth with that intimidation, but I can't see the answer to that being another threat.

    It should be codified into law that election deniers don't get to run in elections. No more of "heads I win, tails you lose." They can find candidates who respect the democratic process.
    (P.S. Didn't think it needed to be said, but for anyone out there who couldn't read beneath the surface, obviously candidates should be allowed to bring legitimate action to the courts if there is demonstrable doubt. That does not mean they should be able to poison the well leading up to the election by claiming without evidence both fraud and victory)

You cannot work with them because they want to put you and your family in a furnace. They will shave you bald and use your hair for pillow stuffing. They will strip you naked and systematically starve you in a slave labor camp, and then they will leave your rotting corpse in an abandoned train car.

We got our emails and text messages from Maricopa Count Elections the day after, saying that they received our ballots and verified our signatures. Post offices are government buildings, so it would look way weirder for the crazies to be hanging around outside with guns. PS - We all voted Democrat for every office.

The point being that we are too stupid to be trusted with a representive form of government. These assholes would stop saying it if it didn't give them the best chance to win. Trump and the rest of the MAGA crowd as despicable as they may be are merely a symptom of the deeper issue.

    That speaker phone call of Trump telling Masters to lie-made me furious! Next election, Democrats & Independents need to be the "poll watchers" & give them a taste of their own medicine!

    The sponge is not disgusting. Licking your fingers to turn pages is what's disgusting. I never understood why people do it, it is completely and utterly unnecessary for the turning of pages. It is completely habitual, nothing else. Once I observed a guy licking the fingers of his left hand, but still using his _right_ to actually leaf through the pages.

      @@sprig5173 i agree. I was referring to times he doesn’t get as big of a laugh relative to the rest of the jokes. You can see him process for a split-second and Shoemaker often cracks up (:

    Today is 11-12-2022. As of today, the little bit of that that voter-watchers-intimidation that did happen, got dealt with right-straight-up-front-most-times. My favorite is one where a couple of cops are explaining to a couple of Vote Box Watch Intimidators the wrongness of their anti-democracy-crusade and behavior, was/is.

      Like Trump's promise to "drain the swamp" but turned out he was an alligator living off of it instead? lobbyists are here for good, in one form or another. For one thing, it is where politicians, their aids, and ex-military retire to.

      Sure, but that's not the main problem. The main problem is our "free speech absolutism" that allows right wing media to lie to tens of millions of voters w/o consequence. You cannot have a functioning democracy when citizens are actively misinformed.
