Yes i did, we r voting against a demagogue
I think the electoral vote is most important that the majority of the votes so keep an eye on the electorial votes pack ahead the Democratss representing the electorial voters.
VOTE.. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE POLL SAYS. VOTE…VOTE…VOTE.
Amen!
@SmileMan64 aka BenjaMan64 THANK YOU FOR UOUR POST!! I just sent a link to every person I know in SOCAL
@SmileMan64 aka BenjaMan64 BEWARE OF UNCLEAN DEMAGOGUE’S!!!!!
Yours is a short post that makes a whole lot of sense. The validity of any pole is never certainty till the voters do their civic duty vis a vis VOTE early and encourage those who ally with you in principle, policy and the respect for democracy to do the same. Sometimes I panic at the idea that some may believe that OTHERS will do what they have to do and the end result will suffice. I beseech the good US get Lucifer out of the White House.
They should just STOP with all this poll crap. And report some news of the day. It sure would be nice to know how the fires out west are doing. Anything other than poll crap.
One of the disturbing causes of the Trump catastrophe was that a lot of moderate male voters hadn’t evolved enough to realize that women can make great leaders.
Patriots – vote R.E.D. = R.emove E.very D.emocrat !
@Clark Davis Are you actually defending Witmer? Are you related to her?
I agree. They’ll vote for a monstrous man and excuse all sorts of egregious behaviors, but subject a woman to relentless scrutiny and extreme and unrealistic standards.
@Dachusblot Don’t come after me with a straw man argument. First of all, I am NOT a politician, and I am not in the public eye. Secondly, when called upon to look professional, I have a rotation of trousers and jackets…. So yes, it’s not the same thing every day, neither is it a fashion show.
You need to recognize the difference between public and private life. I don’t see Madeleine Albright, Angela Merkel, or (god forbid) Sarah Palin flaunting fashion frippery.
@Jimmy Bagodonuts Whites like you should be
Polls and opinions dont matter but votes do…..to determine the electoral votes…..I voted today please VOTE AND VOTE EARLY IF POSSIBLE!!
I did vote early already in Arizona. I hope we are too big to steal but I am holding my breath. If bumper stickers, honking and yelling were votes, Trump wins Arizona.
@NOW WHAT Well the only thing you can do about the unofficial & also ILLEGAL ballot boxes is to not put your ballot in those boxes. To me, they didn’t look like official ballot boxes but I could see how someone could be fooled into thinking that they were. Now, what happens to those ballots now that they have been determined to be beneficial and illegal? I haven’t found an answer to that question but I’m sure it’s out there. I’m sure that the Republican installed illegal ballot boxes were also illegally looked into, but I DEFINITELY do not put it past them to simply throw out any votes that weren’t for Trump and the GOP.
You don’t say that about someone who was polling at about 45% or lower and has big negatives, that is a lesson to these political mouth pieces should have leaned.
Patriots – vote R.E.D. = R.emove E.very D.emocrat !
vote as early as you can, it takes time to change your vote from american to democrat
Go and vote , please don’t get over confident, and vote for down ballot races too
Right, this could have waited we got serious issues like no jobs,no leadership we as Americans needed this time spent on citizens
Damned right , SCOTUS nonsense could wait ,I hope this is last gasp for Republicans!
Blame the Dems. It could have been done a month ago had they not insisted on adding extra crap to their bill.
The failure is squarely in the Democrat’s laps.
No matter what, get out and vote.
No matter what, stay home.
Ignore the fear mongers. Ignore the lawsuits. Your ballot is safe in the mail. Your mail carrier is not your enemy.
I love the USPS. I see DeJoy as the enemy.
It’s elves and fairies throwing mail in dumpsters..
Hahahha ? not mailman or women.
@TED C
It happened once recently, but it is an extremely rare event.
What is that?
It’s not about the mail carrier. It’s about the fact that many ppl do not read the instructions for the mail in ballot and end up filling it out incorrectly, which leads to the ballot being discarded and not counted without them even knowing. It’s safest to just vote in person.
Hourly PSA – Don’t respond to trolls. They get bonuses when you do. Just an FYI. Pass it on!!!!!
How do you tell who the troll is? When someone says something that you don’t agree with?
Unpredictable., Hopefully that Joe Biden prayed for victory.
Do Not get complacent in the Polls. This isn’t Election Day Polls. We must vote in numbers to Big to Rig. GO VOTE ! Biden/ Harris 2020. 🗳💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
#GetRumpyOut
Polls don’t mean “Oh gee, I guess I don’t need to vote now.” If you want the polls to come true, then you MUST get out and vote.
DNC-bot poster.
Nice try!
@Tessmage Tessera Red Tsunami coming!
@Shinichiro Hamada In your dreams, child.
VOTE.
You can sleep well afterwards.
VOTE. Unless you want another four year nightmare.
I don’t think I could survive another 4 years of Trump and his insanity. I didn’t vote for him in 2016, and I’m certainly not voting for him in 2020! Biden 2020💙🥊💥
@Kimberly Smith yes biden 2020 lets get america back to how it was again
Don’t take anything for granted people. VOTE
Amen 🙏 Vote 🗳
Will do
Drop it like it’s hot…PRECISELY how Trump ‘handled’ his Corona virus response in January. COMPROMI$ED, NYET?
Make sure it’s not a fake GOP drop box. ——
You, GOP, DOWN VOTE YOU! https://www.newsweek.com/california-gop-fake-official-ballot-boxes-1538221
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The public is giving their opinions. Now, they must document it. Vote!
Biden can’t “just” win. We must give him a landslide _ a MANDATE.
We want landslides in all areas and states by November 2nd, don’t let your guard down, Trump is capable of worst case scenario in many areas. He’s devious and vindictive. He’s Satan in the flesh, remember this
@Jock Young Which statement specifically did I make, that you take issue with?
Yes, if Biden lost the popular vote, but won the electoral college, Trump would NEVER concede (he won’t anyway). Even though Russia conspired against Hillary Clinton in 2016, & Trump STILL lost the popular vote… to this day, he claims that he had a landslide victory🤷🏽♀️.
If Biden wins the electoral college by a small (or large) amount, Trump already has a team of attorneys prepared to challenge the election’s integrity. I (like the President & most of his colleagues) voted by mail. I went through every legal step, to vote via mail & it wasn’t easy. First, I applied for a mail-in-ballot, submitting all my personal information. Second, I got permission from my psychiatrist to vote-by-mail, because of my anxiety disorder. Third, I filled out the ballot sent to me after submitting my application & doctors assessment. Finally, I have filled out my selections, but I need a witness who is not a friend or family member to sign my ballot as a witness, along with all their contact info so that my vote can be validated. I am going to request a post office worker to sign & validate my ballot, but I’m confident that any Republican will refuse, or simply sign & then tear up my ballot & throw it in the trash. I just want my vote to count. I went through all the correct steps to submit a mail-in ballot, & I just want my one single vote to count.
Guys Biden has no chance of winning Texas or even getting to Hillary’s numbers with the electoral college.
@Cartoonishly Inept that definitely sounds like what trump would do
Trump’s attempt to suppress the vote is backfiring. Just like everything else he has tried.
Only. The. Vote. Counts.
Not polls, not opinions, not trends.
Votes. Votes. Votes.
Why doesn’t anyone know this?????>
Unless they are thrown in the Garbage 🗑
@EX Democrat Amber um don’t no who u r voting for, but hope not for the demagogue trump
@EX Democrat Amber Fact News Complements of Trump AKA the Orange Ball Sack
