In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.
They have elections in all those shithole dictatorial countries too. They just make sure the wrong people don't vote.
The participants in Saturday’s “I Am Change” march had intended to conclude at an early-voting site to emphasize turnout in the final days of the presidential campaign. Those plans were thrown into disarray when law-enforcement officers in riot gear and gas masks insisted demonstrators move off the street and clear county property, despite a permit authorizing their presence.

Not just you. I would expect him to be all "The fashists are intimidating voters!!1!" if these were Trump supporters.

Trumpers are doing that, sitting outside polling places with weapons and harassing people by trying to run them off the road and then trying to fight them.
So hilarious how badly you fuckwits have been brainwashed. Or super sad how many of you fuckwits just roll with the fascism cause "them people bad!"

> sitting outside polling places with weapons and harassing people ...
Fake news or maybe a Russian troll? Nothing like that is happening here, I've been by the town hall several times during advance voting and there was a nice peaceful line waiting to vote. Did it myself, voted on Sunday, no hassles, just friendly people and great election workers (some are volunteers).

Woops you got fact checked again =)
If we take your typical rightwing approach you will now be crying about censorship! Or would that only be if SN added a link to the fact checking comment at the top of yours? That would be censorship right? Not like you would hold SN to lesser standards than Twitter riiiiight?
Goddamn I love seing you fall on your face =) I'll sort out the morality of it later, or just enjoy a little bit of the dark side you rightwingers love so much.

Yep, that sure is some nationwide, organized campaign of voter suppression you've exposed there. Trump keeps on at that rate he might end up keeping a hundred or two Biden votes from being cast before his operatives are arrested.
