    2020, I was told I should vote Biden. So I did like a naive little lemming.
    2024, Biden calls me garbage because I voted against the person who threw him off the ticket.

    This is what its like dealing with the party of 'inclusion'. No Thank yous. No appreciation. No forgiveness or understanding. They simply eat their own to advance their own political ambition (the epitome of Harris's career).
    If I am going to vote for an *******, it will be the one who is open about it, not the one who acts like they are morally superior.

    The leftist will call this voter interference even though it offers a greater window of voting opportunity.

    on the heels of his racist rally in PA, this pretty much cements a Trump defeat in PA

    Did a bit of research and apparently Bucks County doesn't have actual "early voting" which is strange. Instead they apply in person to get a "mail-in ballot" which they can submit on the same day they get their ballot or drop it in a drop box. I'm glad people get to vote. The County was just following state law and the only reason Trump people even care about this **** is because Trump asked people to vote early rather than his previous strategy of voting only on election day.

    I'm glad people can vote. There should be no reason for people being denied the right to vote if they are able to. I don't expect the same energy from you though. It's only because Trump cares that you actually care about this **** right now. If Trump says, you follow. So don't try to turn this issue on democrats when you really don't give a **** yourself.

    EDIT: Further research for you reading pleasure enraged @Salvy

    EDIT 2:

    I'm SUPER GLAD that you are showing interest about all individuals being able to vote @Salvy. This is the sort of things we all can agree with. Love your energy for all individuals getting to vote.

    Want to know the irony? Republicans brought a lawsuit to get this law thrown out because they didn't like mail-in voting then lol.

    Nothing against Obama, Both presidents are giving the same message.

    I just like the communication style of Bill Clinton better.

    Leas than a week before the election.....


    Supreme Court allows Virginia to purge voter rolls ahead of the election


    The state wants to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, but challengers said it pulls in lawful voters too and was being done too close to the election in violation of federal law.

    Civil rights groups, backed by the Biden administration, challenged the plan, saying it had led to some legal voters being removed from the rolls, too. The Justice Department said that while states can review its voter rolls, it cannot do so right before an election.

    Groups that sued, including the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, said the process drew in people who might have indicated they were not citizens at that time but have subsequently become U.S. citizens. Civil rights groups and the Biden administration both provided evidence of U.S. citizens who had likely been removed from the rolls as a result.

    “This ruling is devastating for Virginia voters because we are essentially allowing eligible voters to be stripped of their fundamental rights,” said Joan Porte, president of the League of Women Voters of Virginia, which was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

    “The Supreme Court should be protecting voters from disenfranchisement but instead they are allowing an illegal purge of eligible voters,” she added.

    I'm confused by this statement.

    What I'm interpreting is that individuals tried to register to vote previously but stated they were not citizens at the time, then I guess tried to register again once they became eligible. Is this correct?

    Na, confirmation bias. The Always Blue No Matter Who crowd have effectively become the 50-90's mainstream Christians.Ironic.

    Trump is on the tail end of the bell curve when it comes to moral rectitude. The vast majority of the country sees it, even if you don't want to admit it. It's fine to say you're voting for Trump because you think the Democratic Party is going to ruin the US and you think Musk/Trump will fix it, and that you don't think Trump's totally bankrupt moral character changes that calculus. Doesn't make you a garbage person. Biden was very foolish for letting his emotions and dislike of the MAGA movement get in the way of his judgment and going the "you insult our people, we insult your people" route. It's a good thing he isn't running.

    The media is doing their damnest to have their whataboutism dose and help Trump it’s pretty pathetic.

    Watching the local NBC news frame the Biden comment this afternoon was disgusting. Cutting the videos to make Trump look like he’s sooo sincere about distancing himself from that comic, and if you watched the clip you’d think Biden was the candidate. The ominous tone the anchor had about how consequential this was etc etc… just pathetic.

    Also the only people that could possibly be offended are Trump supporters so by definition this should not have any impact on the election. The media covering this as if it is going to have an impact is ridiculous and only serves as fodder for trolls and MAGA propagandists.

    Does anyone here think the MAGA diehards here like space ghost, big texx, Bobby, etc. would have changed their mind and voted for Harris just only if Biden wouldn’t have said on zoom that Trump supporters are garbage??
