  1. Im mexican living in Mexico and people don't vote here, if we have elections I go to vote with a bunch of old people, I am the youngest and have 35 years.

  2. It's a pity the MAGA doesn't respond to this… I find it remarkable that a clown like tRump even has right to be in politics! Nic/ Sweden

  3. The plate isn't a form of communication. It's what you get when you go to the fridge in the middle of the night and then lower your snackspectations.

  4. I'm a Brazilian and I always saw America as a model of a trustworthy democratic system. But it is horrifying how Trump is infecting and destroying your democracy. You guys are very close to becoming a first world Venezuela.

  5. In public vehicles like subways and such, there is an emergency stop lever, which if used incorrectly (or in this case abused) you will be punished. I don't get why there isn't something similar for submitting fkin 100k false challenges. Not only they are wasting peoples time, they are wasting government money

  6. טרמפ מנסה לכולל כאוס בהצבעה. אם הוא ינצח- מעולה, אם לא, המערכת רקובה וגנבו לנו את הבחירות.
    מהלכים- הרתעת מצביעים מלהצביע.
    יצירת תודעה של גניבת הבחירות, עוד לפני הבחירות. המערכת רקובה ורק אני יכול להוביל. בלי רמאות, הם לא ינצחו.
    שינוי חוקי ספירת קולות בבחירות וערעור, שייצרו כאוס לאחר הבחירות, אם טרמפ לא יוביל באותה מדינה.

  7. That is terrifying. The USA's democracy is completely rotten by remorseless politically driven civil servants, and the conservatives just don't care about the truth at all. Nothing has consequence, and for them a point of view is just as valid as a proven fact. I hope I'm wrong but the country could seriously go down a very bad road, and very fast. And billionaire influencers like Elon Musk just make things 10x worse, by spreading every rumours that follow his fascist opinions. I'm seriously concerned that the election will be rigged by the conservatives through massive vote suppression… And with project 2025 it is nothing less than the end of the rule of law. And from there, who know what these lunatics will do.

  8. As an European, american laws and republicans' opinion make any sense to me.
    People in jail do not have the right to vote but people who've been convicted or are in jail can be elected president! 😮
    The popular vote do not matter! 😮

    People refuse social security! 😮
    People think that Democrats are communists 🤣

  9. It should cost 25 dollars for a challenge. It shouldn't be too expensive either, but expensive enough that it stops people from this sort of behaviour

  10. This is so stupid. Presidential elections in the US are INDIRECT, meaning people by voting don't actually vote, but kinda showing their preferences to the Electoral College, who actually vote. What's the point on cheating there? E.C. can vote against popular votes and funnily enough, in 2016 Hillary Clinton in fact won the popular vote, but lost to Trump in the E.C. vote.
