Statement Regarding 'Biden Bus' Incident
Abby Livingston from The Texas Tribune reached out today and asked a question about a Biden campaign bus incident.
What alternate universe did I land in?
What in the world are you talking about? Did you post this in the wrong thread?
A lot of these people already think they are in the midst of a civil war already
How is this real.

Please, please, P L E A S E win Joe.
I'm just reminding everyone this is literally their frame point and the framing Fox is pushing. Its fucking terrifying.
This is the mistake people have been making for a long time. Fox in it's current state only exist because they are saying what their viewers want to hear. The right has been at this game for a long time. They portray themselves as always being the victim no matter how much power they steal or whatever messed up policies they put in place.
Imagine if Biden supporters literally had a group of trucks almost run a trump bus off the road, they'd be calling for their heads.
I'd be shocked if there wasn't some serious violence on election day.
Don't have much to add but just want to say that I wish terrible things on these people. While I don't particularly have faith that a whole lot of meaningful change will happen under Biden, I would take a kind of cathartic pleasure on how much it would piss off these utter fucking meat headed, pilled up, rubes.
In many countries voting sites are guarded by the military for a reason, do you have someone guarding your voting sites during election day?
The more I think about it, the more I think one of the most important things that needs to be done (that isn't really being talked about) is abolishing the electoral college.
The fact is that a vast majority of the country outright rejects Trump and the GOP as a whole. When people talk about the polls being wrong they don't mean overall, everyone knows Trump will lose the popular vote, the fear is the swing states. A couple thousand people in a handful of states. So long as the GOP can win them over every now and again they don't have to do shit differently.
Decent people outnumber the assholes, we just give the assholes a real chance at power for some insane reason. Democracy works, we just have to actually count the votes properly. Land doesn't vote, it shouldn't be deciding elections. Make it so ideological extremism isn't rewarded and things will get better.

While dems throw cold water on their own by calling some of them looters and rioters, bending over backwards to defend fracking...
This is proof that the right will attempt to steal the next term by force, and I don't have faith that the current heads of the Democratic Party will do anything other than take their proverbial high road then wonder "gee, why didn't that work?"
I mailed mine in here in Oregon about two weeks ago, got the confirmation that it would be counted on 10/20/2020. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but I sent it in.
The best way to win over independents and republicans that are concerned about voting for you again in a state you have to win is to condone literally insane behavior like this, for sure.
Yes, we have white terrorists ready to shoot people of color and minorities. This is the real america.
That's... not what I asked. Do you have proper security in your voting sites? what if someone shows up armed?
Dammit maxx your such a debbie-downer. There are plenty of ballot boxes out there tonight that are pushing the Blue Wave.
Mostly in my counties if someone has a visible firearm they are laughed at. I live in duck and elk hunting country, so trigger discipline is commonplace.
Are you from the US? If a black guy shows up with a gun they'll get shot immediately. If a white guy shows up with a gun he'll be fine because he's just a "militia" exercising his freedom.
Yep i agree 100% like there has to be a much better way to govern 300+ million people it just doesn't work for so many people.
I live in a republican town, let me tell you the shit I've seen.
In Cincinnati we have an expressway that circles around the city and tri-state area I-275. Every weekend for the past month these MAGA idiots have what I can only describe as an early funeral procession for their cult leader where they parade around the 275 loop with their giant flags going about 35 mph.
They are extremely aggressive to anyone trying to exit or enter the highway. It probably doesn't help that I have a Biden/Harris bumper sticker. I have to travel this highway each weekend to pickup/drop off my granddaughter. There have been several times I've had to quickly dodge someone trying to run me off the road or had to gun it to avoid getting in an accident. WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR.
These cult members are insane and I can't wait to drink their salty baby tears next week.

No.
I just wanted a straight answer but I guess people are too anxious right now, good luck with your elections.
Please please please for yourself and for your family run as fast and far as you can to the west coast.
Uniformed police and national guard are generally discouraged from having a visible presence at polling sites. NG folks will be helping with the polls but they won't be in uniform as far as I know.
Here is the trick, large parts of the United States do not want fair elections. We've been suppressing people's votes since the country was founded and that isn't about to stop now.

Sounds like the Virginia GOP. Worked out great there.
No? The popular vote was 48% to 46% with a turnout of 55%. It was a difference of 3 million votes. A majority, but not a vast majority, and we have vast majority popular vote elections to look back upon, 1964, 1984, LBJ and Reagan. I hope this election will be such a popular vote landslide that its considered a rejection of Trump and the GOP but 2016 can not be considered a vast popular vote difference.
3 million is a lot of damn people and you're talking about over 35 years ago at this point. My larger point still stands though: the electoral college rewards ideological extremism.
Lol I'm actually in California. I just like it here because it's one of the few cities in Cali that has lots of trees and natural beauty. It's essentially a rural area so there's a lot of ag white trumpers.
Wow, im in Oregon, so many nice folks. Lots of bad folks too. But im in Pacific NW corner so its just like Goonieville. I miss Cali weather I grew up in SD.

This guy needs to be charged.
I'm originally from SD too. I miss seeing brown people everywhere. My high school was essentially fifty percent Mexican and fifty percent Filipino.
Allen West? That tap dancing coon is still around? Fuck man i really don't get this house nigga mentality. I really can't stand black republicans. Can we like disown them?

I would expand on that by saying said white terrorist group comprises an overwhelming majority of every police force in the country.
The problem with humanity has always been that assholes and psychopaths are ruthless and tireless in their efforts to infiltrate and corrupt any organizational structure. Decent people are mostly concerned with living their own lives, and aren't constantly suspicious and prosecutorial of everybody around them. Decent people don't want a fight. They don't want to put themselves in the crosshairs of vengeful psychopaths.
Democracy, in some forms, is a hypothetical check on assholes because they will be out-voted by sheer weight of numbers. But yes, systems like the electoral college present bad actors with tools to subvert the collective action of people seeking to contain them.
No. Don't even think that.
This is an abusive relationship. "The beatings will continue until morale improves."
Even if you hid under your deck for the rest of your life, these assholes would make up some story casting you as the villain and them as victims.
At this point, there will be violence no matter what. Biden winning is the far, far better outcome.
Never, ever, think of giving in to abusers. They just want to drag you down to Hell with them. Don't let them.
