1. No, these are just racist shitty people . There are lots of them in this country

they aren't victims.

[JI7]

8. They are invested in voter suppression because there were 81 million that don't support it

but there ARE 74 million that are just fine with it .

[moonscape]

10. Without voter suppression Biden would

have gotten even more votes.

Not all 74 million are racist shitty people, but there are a lot of brainwashed emotion voters who get their propaganda spoon fed and believe liberals are going to turn us into a communist country, etc etc. Those are folks who despise us because of what they’ve been told as much as we despise Trump.

[Celerity]

12. there are more, many registered did not vote

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. A lot are non-racist shitty people fine w racist shitty people representing them

... because it advances their other non-racist shitty agendas.

But many are of course so stupid they don't know they are racist. They think that systemic racism is not possible today in the USA. They say things like "you had a black man for President -- see, no racism".

15. That was convoluted

And cryptic Bernardo. Care to rephrase in three words?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. No. It was not convoluted. It was easy to read. I will not dumb it down.

Kind of a disrespectful request to ask someone to boil a DU post down to three words.

[canetoad]

14. I wish you would read the OP carefully

You are arguing at cross purposes.

Curbside has a bloody good point.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. I wish you would read the posts carefully. You responded this to Curbside, not your "you". . . nt

[canetoad]

18. Yeah, I noticed that

Straight after I posted and decided it wasn't worth correcting. You kinda make a profession of being unpleasant, but no problems, I luv you anyway.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Your personal attack has no place here on DU. . . . . nt

[canetoad]

20. But I was

Explaining how much I love you. How is that a personal attack?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Don't be disingenuous. People see through your post. . . nt

[canetoad]

23. I hope they do. nt

[panader0]

31. Well, I love you canetoad!

[judesedit]

2. Please send this to President Biden and VP Harris

[samplegirl]

3. Wow!

Great post! All makes sense.

7. "but I am certain it would have been returned nicely filled out"

[BumRushDaShow]

30. "The First Amendment guarantees you the right to speak"

But the First Amendment only applies to the right to petition the government to address grievances and that government makes no laws to prohibit doing that.

But DU is not "the government".

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Read my post again carefully.

Very carefully.

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Methinks thou doth protest too much.

[BumRushDaShow]

53. You lost me a long time ago when

you started talking about the purported goings-on in Hampshire County, MA and their colleges.

[we can do it]

38. Zip code ending in three comment is wrong.

Lived in one for years, have friends and family who live in different ones.

[we can do it]

55. Glad to help.

[secondwind]

4. Bookmarked. This needs to be circulated.

11. Do not push this. It is so offensive

My oldest son is autistic and now lives in a group home. He voted all his life, for Bill Clinton and Obama. In order for him to move into the home, my husband and I had to go to court for guardianship. At the court, the judge TOOK AWAY HIS RIGHT TO VOTE. My husband, who was a lawyer has passed away, so I must pay thousands to try to restore his voting rights. I did not try because I was afraid of just this, that someone would start something about mentally challenged people voting. Stop this now. This is Democratic Underground. If you know of a corrupt and abusive care facility, do what my husband and I did, get them shut down. Support community homes. Support self advocacy. DO NOT PUSH RESTRICTIONS OF VOTING RIGHTS.

24. Which explains Florida

N/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

39. Nursing homes and guardianship in Florida are so corrupt John Oliver...

did one of his exposes on the situation. It's horrific, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if voter fraud is made extremely easy because of it.

I honestly have no idea if it is done on a scale necessary to impact the outcome of an election, but do believe it should be scrutinized to find out how prevalent it is.

27. Many red states still voted on ES&S machines

Remember how off the polls suddenly were the year we started using them? Remember Carl Rove? Trump reportedly called him in to help with the election. Those machines were rigged for McConnall.

29. When my grandparents were in a nursing home...

one of my aunts coordinated with a member of the staff to fill out their ballots despite neither being aware of it. We only found out years later when my aunt bragged about being able to cast three votes for her preferred candidates. I have thought about this a lot over the years and wondered how widespread it was.

I have only one quibble with your post. You said, "Were those Dubya ballots real and valid?

What you described sounds like voter fraud meaning the ballots are real, but invalid. Though I completely get your point that the election officials in charge of counting, tabulating, and certifying would have no way of knowing this and cannot be held accountable for recognizing the ballots as fraudulent.

More definitely needs to be done to increase awareness and instill oversight and accountability. Thank you for raising the issue.

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. In this particular case I can absolutely tell you my aunt voted for Republicans.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind. She is a god, guns, and gays Republican straight down the line.

35. So what happened when you reported

that this manager filled out ballots for the patients? That was clearly illegal, it was probably easy to verify and it would have sent that person to prison for many years.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. Probably nothing because

[BumRushDaShow]

43. When you post an OP in General Discussion, your OPs are available for anyone to read

and people who post OPs are hoping/expecting people to read them. Do you have a problem with being challenged?

[BumRushDaShow]

47. Being "challenged" has nothing to do with

making someone "feel unwelcome" if someone does not buy what you write. It means that your content is being scrutinized without the emotionalism of the fiery pronouncements and grandiose claims that you have been making here.

[BumRushDaShow]

52. So your answer is

ad hominems?

M'kay.
