    1. @GR Wolf people call him sleepy Joe, well at least if Joe wins we’ll be able to get some sleep because my sleep patterns been off since tRump took the seat…never have I been so sleep deprived and sleep pills are not working.

    2. @Richard Bailey what research on your own did you do to come up with that or are you just listening to see him in?

  1. If your vote didn’t matter, if “all candidates are the same” from all parties, then why has the GOP waged war on voting rights for decades???

    1. @1oldgoat You only have to look what the Governor of Texas did to Harris county. The largest district in Texas, mostly democrat, African American, he removed ballot boxes out of the county and left just one. Which means people who want to vote have to drive over thirty five miles to the nearest ballot box to post their votes. Why now? Why was it moved? I heard that the people in the district including an eighty six year old man have taken the governor to court. The last I heard they lost the case. I still haven’t heard a good answer to why he did this. It’s absolutely disgraceful! There are other republican governors doing similar dirty tricks to suppress the vote. Yet I never hear of Democrat governors doing things like this. I seem to remember reading that if all Democrat voters actually voted the republicans would never get into power. Obviously the republicans know this, hence all the voter suppression and gerrymandering. I hope if and when the Democrats win the senate they go to work and get rid of the way the districts are drawn to favour the republicans. It’s the only way the country will get real democracy.

  2. Voting stations in Canadian towns and cities are a matter of BLOCKS away and wait times can be calculated by 1/4 hrs. This is a war of attrition to see who they can make give up. Land o’ the free … really?

    1. It will be like that in the U.S as well when trump is out of office and the Republican party is disbanded

    2. Here in Germany too. We vote on sundays and i never had to wait in a line to vote. That’s so third world. You just walk from your home for 5-10 minutes, go in and vote. The entire process from leaving home to coming back takes 30 minutes.

  3. Deplorable, this is not America! We put a man on the moon over 50 yrs ago! Alabama,Texas, and all states that exhibit voter suppression, you are wrong. We need to make this a Federal Crime. Vote the officials there out. Change the laws so this never happens again. Amen

    1. The riches country in the world, and yet the Central African Republic can run an election more efficiently.
      WTF happened to Americas sense of fairness, justice and decency…..
      We just look on in total amazement at how far you have fallen.
      You used to be the country that the whole world aspired to….
      Now just the butt of jokes……..

    2. @JBplus4 nothing up there anyway. It’s dust and Mars I think was like the earth at one time and some managed to make it to earth. Who knows, this shall pass and so will trump, ect.ect.ect.

    3. @JBplus4 It’s a matter of developing the newer technology, it’s happening right now, but at a slow pace. The skill needed to build the Saturn V, (all hand welded) is in short supply and those who made all the parts are mostly long gone. Apollo, at it’s zenith, employed 400,000 people, think about that, it’s jaw-dropping expensive.

  4. Remember the Elected Officials and the Corporations that contributed to Trump.
    i.e. Chick-Fil-A, Samuel Adams Brewery, Goya, Pillow Company, etc.. BOYCOTT THEM!

    1. I think this approach is wrong. Hold the elected officials accountable, yes. But if people are going to be punished for choosing a side, that shows a lack of empathy or understanding as to why they made that decision. Democracy requires people to understand each other, and the reasons for their point of view, being able to empathize and engage. The moment we demonize the other side is the moment democracy begins to crumble. There is no us vs. them; there is an us with different points of view. Don’t punish people for their endorsement choicesZ

  5. The world over, people are learning about how toxic narcissists are. No accident that. I hope we’ll all remember this in our personal and public lives and stop these sickos before they harm us. NOT OK to act like this

    1. Trump is a lying trator will be glad when nov 3 when he and all of his.putin lap dogs spineless swamp creatures are out of offices so we the people can take our country back. Trump and all of his cult follows go to jail and.america can get back to being.respected and the Beacon of hope where every one is welcome

    2. @Mark Haddox The same dealings that Republicans themselves under oath said were on the up and up. Rudi never learns. At this point Joe Biden could “shoot someone on 5th avenue”, barrowing that bit from a wannabe dictator, and still win the election.

    3. @Treefitty Foh . Be specific. What Republicans and when? It may or may not be illegal but no one who looks at Bidens dealings in Ukraine thinks that they are on the up and up. Even people who vote trump admit he does things wrong. Are you really that far gone you don’t care about this level of open corruption by the bidens?

  6. This is why Trump attacked mail-in ballots and sabotaged the postal service: To suppress votes by forcing people into long lines.

    1. @Wayne Norris well said, the 1’s in power that lie blatantly to the people should be removed indefinitely.

    2. There is no Republican party anymore, when are people going to realize that? It’s the Party of Trump and the Democrats now.

    3. I mean its kinda in the name. A republic is literally a leadership rule from a small number of elected officials. How they get elected is of no concern to them.

  7. Humanitarianism vs. Authoritarianism. All dictators around the world are worried. The corruption has been exposed. Conservatism corporate greed over humanitarian needs

    1. World war 1 got rid of all the monarchies. Trump is trying to start his own prince jri prince eric princess Iblanka. Rid America of COVID family Trump

  8. Virtually everything Trump has done is actually having the opposite effect of his intentions. People are voting in record numbers because of trumps own rhetoric. It’s shaping up to be a Blue Tsunami.

    1. @Aaron Hawley , Trump will not go easily, his plan is to take it to the highest court, which he knows will be biased and weighted in his favour. Very likely to see blood on the streets of America over the outcome of this election.

  9. I don’t see any maga hats in line.Just a good mix of everybody,a melting pot of cultures.That,is what makes the United States of America special.Vote.

  10. Biden needs to restore voting rights for all Americans. One of many tasks he needs to work on. We probably have 2 decades of work ahead of us to right the ship of state.

    1. @Christopher Kelly
      Nice try trolls. I guess since Trump’s campaign is running out of money he can’t afford the bots you guys used to chime in with. Oh well, see you at the finish line, Donny……with a subpoena!

  11. I’m just imagining having a president who doesn’t constantly tell the entire country how great he/she because he/she never makes mistakes, and we all need to be eternally grateful for their being. Just walk on water and get it over with, man.

  12. Trump has gone from being “the chosen one” to the Antichrist we need to and have to get out of our White House. He managed to do this all by himself! This may be his biggest life achievement.

  13. The Republican Party is no longer a political party but has been trained by Covid Trump to be the Republican terrorist party.

  14. Everything Trump does backfires and these people are not waiting in line for hours to vote for him. GREAT JOB GETTING OUT THERE.
