Trump supporters come out and block early voting site in Virginia [up: security dispersed the crowd]
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
EDIT:Oops, posted a blank post.
It's not; there's laws that define an exact distance electioneering is prohibited from polling sites. It's why at that exact distance you'll see a billion campaign signs and volunteers hanging out before you enter the no-man's land of a polling place.
Of course this only matters if someone enforces these laws.
So is this one of those laws that no one bothers to enforce?
It's one enforced selectively by a certain type of people.

A New Hampshire woman voting in the state’s Tuesday primary election voted topless after she was told that she couldn’t wear a shirt criticizing President Trump to cast her ballot.Exeter Town Moder…

Fuck, shit's going down over there ey? Hope other (early) voting sites take notice and prepare accordingly.
Love that the maga fuckers are this spooked though.
I don't think security tends to have riot gear.

They're preventing liberals from voting and being in power. That's all they care about, stopping liberals.
They want all liberals gone, to them, we're the enemy and they'll resort to any means necessary to accomplish that goal.
It's why they support Trump as hardcore as they do, he tells them what they want to hear (aka, he's attacking the libs).
Look forwatrd to this happening a bunch on Election Day proper.
The cops will do NOTHING to stop this. But at least added security should help and there's no excuse not to have it seeing these tactics play out in advance.

I really don't know how we have gotten to this point. I mean, I knew America had problems and a lot of progress to still make, but I NEVER imagined this was our reality. Its disheartening. I've seriously begun entertaining the idea of leaving the country.
That is wild. I live in Fairfax, used to live literally next door to that building, and can't imagine seeing that there.
Thankfully I don't think they were actually blocking anything (there's a million ways to walk around that center area) but still, the mind boggles that this is happening. I will choose to believe this is a small, very confused minority of people trying to stand up to what will be a large majority of people who I trust will make voting decisions that are good for the future of this country.
Still, bleh. Get out there and vote everyone! Get everyone you know to do the same!

I know. I know.
But first let's give them something to remember. Actively. Every day. Let's make "being out of power" a feeling we burn right into their heads.
We do that, you'll have more time and a safer environment for leaving, if nothing else.
I don't even know what to say anymore really, I've done my best to take all this shit in stride, but it's starting to get to me and I feel so fucking mad all the time seeing stuff like this.
It varies by State I think. In PA the parties are allowed to set up outside of polling stations but can't interfere with anyone walking in, they're supposed to be there to answer any questions voters have
These people are obnoxious though, I don't think that would be allowed here

To just vote won't fix the deep´, deep problems your whole political system has, USA
Just walk right through them or around them. They can't physically block the entrances to the building. If they try that, then shit gets real.
Ah, so the US is reaching the "pro-regime forces interfere with free vote" stage of authoritarianism.
They can't do this shit either, that is why its illegal in the united states (and most other countries).
👆🏻
I know it wouldn't help. But I get the emotion of it. These people are legit enemies of 'the people' at this point.
So let's just do nothing then? I mean this starts here now, we're gonna do what we can to get the ball rolling and then hopefully all of us will make sure that it keeps rolling.
Seriously, I can't believe this is the state of our country.
What the fucking fuck.
We have a distance restriction here, so you might have someone handing out material or campaigning in the parking lot. It was particularly unpleasant in 2016. Had a large group of those anti-abortion activists with the giant photos of mutilated featuses.
Make sure you do it after you vote. Otherwise you have fallen for their bullshit.
Yep. We all know civil conversations and olive branches stopped the nazis.
Dunno. I'm just saying and not really caring anymore as an outsider.
Never said this. Go vote, it's your privilege but just don't expect shit to change, with how broken everything is in your country and how that conservative and equally power-hungry democratic party wants to maintain its power.
