@Ben Hall RUSSIAN BOT
@CHEETAH69 really you think being in the marines and then not being able to find work when I got out was a poor decision?
@jiujitsujedi the original democrat loser comment
Hasta la vista trumpeepoo
Stupid
Clearly democratic voters got the ‘vote early’ message and are turning out in droves despite all the suppression attempts by the GOP.
It’s fine.
You got to wonder why Biden’s campaign team comes out that Biden is not that far ahead.
Got to wonder why they dont show the number for each state. Aah, that’s cause most of it is in the democratic states. Makes sense.

Oh the smell of it bob… that’s a lot of first time TRUMP VOTERS…. 2024 IVANKATRUMP/CANDICE OWENS
@Travis can felons vote where you are at?
@Jared But but but,, Joe Biden is responsible for all that.. Barkok Obama did that.. He’s responsible for it all because he , did all that during his term and it was like a hot air balloon,, a big one,, fueled by a dumpster fire!!
He doesn’t deserve secret service for life
Life for Biden is only a year or 2
@jp89il Biden is only 3 years older than Trump and not nearly as obese. Don’t be fooled by Trump’s fake tan, makeup, and comb over.
@Suze nope
He deserves bubba as cellmate
@NOT YOU No, he needs to live to see himself lose, he needs to live to serve life in prison, he needs to live to see the US thrive without him.
Listen, I want Joe Biden to win as much as ANYONE; however, the problem with these figures is that we don’t know the distribution. If there are all sorts of new Democrats in California, but way more Republicans in other states, then it makes no difference whatsoever. VOTE. Cross your fingers and pray.
@Jack Samson You missed my point.
Denise Kulawik And the Electoral College.
@DarthSailorMoon … that sounds about right.
@DarthSailorMoon It’s one or the other, man. Make a choice.
@DarthSailorMoon No, he didn’t.
Pretty much the millions on unemployment like me will not vote for Trump, he has wrecked my life and no stimulis help for millions, not handling the pandemic with science..pretty much clinches the deal for me
@Night Shine actually if you read what was passed, Nancy pelosi didn’t pass it because trump refused to bailout california new York and illinois in the bill. Because they are using it to bail out their bad governance. Nancy pelosi pass a bill that had 1200 direct deposit and 600 for every american for unemployement per week.
Trump did the same 1200 direct deposit and 600 a week. But Nancy pelosi rejected it 4 times. Trump did executive action outside of congress to give 400 a week.
@M1602 I cast my ballot today I voted Biden, ( We sane americans are tired of the Trump Circus, a divided country, an out of control pandemic, its time to end the Madness)
@Brendan Hughes They work together to screw the american people. Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself which is shown in his policies no less how he wanted us to die calmly instead of warning people yet he warned wall street. Why would you want a leader like that.Biden will do what is needed to save lives and trump will let millions die from herd immunity and do nothing. Such a stark difference. Hard to understand why you can’t see it.
@M1602 There are still undecided voters and I will not sit back and let the truth be trampled on by a Democrat-Media complex that is actively attempting to destroy the conservative ideology.
@Night Shine you should read what they have passed. Would you like me to link it? There have been like 10 now that republicans have passed and 2 or 3 that Dems did.
If I were a betting man, I’d lay odds that this extraordinary early voting will turn into a blue tsunami and drown Baby Donnie, his sycophants and the cancer in the Senate…
You have to wait till Election Day. Vast majority of republicans are voting in person
We can only hope. However, Biden is only a bandaid for a bleeding nation. He can’t do much on his own, or even with the senate. WE are the healing balm. If Biden wins (WHEN!), can we be generous in victory? Celebrate without gloating, without name-calling, without nastiness? We can stand tall without stepping on others’ toes. The country still has a long way to go.
In most of the early voting pics I’ve seen the majority of people are wearing masks. I would wager most of the mask wearers are voting Biden.
Well, you would lose bc early voting is in Trump’s favor. He’s ahead in Michigan. College age votes are way down. There’s more registered Republicans than Democrats for the first time in 16 years. Dems lost 8% of their registered voters in 4 years. R’s remained the same.
@Sebastian Addict Is that what lets you sleep at night? Bad news, a lot of registered Republicans are voting Democrat this election, because Trump is systematically destroying your party.
Doesn’t matter Ari, with all respect. Get out and vote! Vote blue!!💙
Almost every president has occasionally engaged in hyperbole, lying, corner-cutting, or press-bashing, though none have done so daily, if not hourly, until now. One lie does not undermine democracy, but 25,000+ lies can. One governmental reversal in court is not tyranny, but scores of such defeats reveal an administration at odds with the constitutional injunction to “faithfully execute the laws.”
If we added up the anti-democracy maneuvers of the prior 10 presidents over the past 60 years, they wouldn’t equal Trump alone in under four years—indeed, if you compare the eight close associates of Trump convicted or indicted in his almost-one term of office, that would again exceed those of all presidents combined (excepting Watergate felons) from Kennedy to Obama.
Trump has done considerable damage to America’s democratic institutions, and brought the nation to the brink of civil catastrophe, and the Republican Party has protected him the entire way. Trump has left America grievously wounded, and now he’s asking for another chance to finish her off.
No one should ever get a second chance to destroy our Constitution, and our 244 year old democratic republic.

Y’all had to legally change 25,000 lies to falsehoods because they were wrong.
@TheRacerrick lol you have been indoctrinated
Beautifully stated. This person needs to go….NOW not waiting for an election. I would like to see him taken out in ankle chains. He and his Russia buddy have ruined America
@AJ CP Oh stop it. The news on Biden’s corruption will sink him.
—WARNING— This election will turn out one of two ways: a landslide for B; or a razor thin victory for T. It could go EITHER WAY! Polls COULD be missing out on HUGE blocks of unregistered voters which polls don’t include. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ELECTION. VOTE!!! —WARNING—
I agree we all need to vote. However, the registration deadline has already passed in PA and Florida so unregistered voters don’t matter now.
Facepalm….
If they’re unregistered they can’t vote…
Smh.
Do you mean independent voters?
@SSJRadioBluth I would assume that’s what they meant. There are still quite a few independents and undecideds that we don’t know how will vote, so we won’t know how the election will go until it happens.
We jumped from 100x to 400x the 2016 early vote in less than a week. This is awesome!! Gonna be a
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊!!
Yeah, cause most democrats are scared of covid. Republicans are gonna be at the voting stations
@Logan McLean So? I vote by mail my ballot counts just as much as yours have fun standing in line spreading covid.
Vote Biden no matter what the polls are indicating! Save America!
Never.
Republicans tried to suppress the vote, it totally backfired. Record numbers going to polls. Keep the pressure on so we can get these creeps out.
Republicans are voting in person, just wait a few weeks
@Logan McLean Yes, the republicans will crowd the polls, cheek and jowl, on Election Day. Maskless, screaming about their rights and the constitooshun while infecting the equally stupid among them. Consider it mercy that about 5 percent of them will not live long enough to mourn the failure of ham-fisted ignorance in the White House.
@Logan McLean that is the Trump way, everything will be better tomorrow… trust me.
The thing is, tomorrow never comes.
Just remember fellow Republicans. It’s a secret ballot. 🤫 No one will ever know you voted for Joe Biden. 😉
Trump on Fox News tomorrow: “Early voting jumped 400% because I’m so popular with flushing toilets”
People don’t vote this early and in these numbers for the status quo, They are voting for major change
Fellow citizens, do NOT become complacent. Take the time you need to vote. If you need to wait in line, do. This is more important than anything!
You’re right. Trumps 2020!
Don’t pay attention to the polls, Vote, just Vote!
If we vote early, the Republicans can’t suppress the vote on election day.
#Biden2020
Statistically, Republicans vote the most on election day…
Anybody else’s anxiety & blood pressure going up during this election cycle 😩😩?!?!
Get yourself busy in getting money these two weeks so you will not see the news or your phone
Unfortunately mine has been up for 4 years 🤷🏻♂️
