    Just to be real, they really don’t care about the popular vote. They care about the electoral vote. And even that isn’t totally true. They care about the electoral victory. They long ago abandoned democracy; they don’t care about having democratically granted power. They just want the power.

    A little felony by blacking out a mail-in ballot is literally the least they’re ready, willing, and able to do to win.

        That just works against your own interests. The point is people patrolling around glaring at people is voter intimidation. You think people will recognize “oh, that guy is on our side”?

        Even if that was the case, do you think knowing there are TWO groups that hate each other prowling around a voting location is less intimidating?

        We get it, you have a gun. You’re not helping.

          To be fair, if they’re Black, or have rainbow hair, and are glaring at the old white dudes wearing red, it would make me feel safer.
