But it's not safe to let people vote!" Too scary to vote, but your kids school better be fucking open in person, no restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 If you put together the new edicts by the postmaster general telling carriers to leave mail undelivered, the fact that the Trump Campaign in Pennsylvania is trying to challenge drop off boxes where you can leave your ballot without having to go through the post office, and Trump's comments about knowing the results on election night, I don't think there's a huge mystery about what they're trying to do. They're going to try and slow down the mail-in vote as much as possible and then challenge the results as suspicious as they very gradually eat into his (hypothetical) lead over the course of days or weeks after election night.

Ricofoley Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 If they're still counting ballots and it's getting close to when they have to certify the results, they might do more stuff like the Brooks Brothers Riot, an insane thing that actually happened in 2000 that I knew nothing about until pretty recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I mean, this is about 95% of the reason I'm considering doing in person early voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricofoley Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think I'm gonna do in-person early voting too. I did it for the primary in March when IL didn't push theirs back (the one insane thing in what was otherwise a pretty reasonable early response), and there was a line to get in but there was a reasonable amount of space to spread out.

SaysWho? Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just to be clear, I agree that creating a partisan difference between mail-in voting and in-person would help create chaos in November and potentially get more Democratic votes rejected (and to the media's credit, they're publishing/airing stories to this effect). I'm just 100% sure he timed that specific tweet to distract from the economy because he's been a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Maybe they figured out that those "You won't be safe in Joe Biden's America" ads make no fucking sense because we're already dealing with an impending homelessness crisis, a secret police force, and a global pandemic.

Fortunately upon seeing what the coverage has been on networks and the web sites, his comments are being covered but not overshadowing "Trump supporter who didn't wear mask dies of COVID" and "Economy is in shambles" as I thought it might.

Anathema- Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Thing is people weren't really talking about the economic numbers that I saw. Just assuming everything is a distraction is probably not wise; especially because it serves to absolve him of the seriousness of the suggestion. It's more important to slap down suggestions of delaying the election than report on the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexy_shapiro Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Maybe Trump was trying to distract us from the economic news, but who cares? We already know the economy is bad. The news wasn’t surprising to literally anyone. It’s not like people are being distracted from a scandal or something. People have already made their mind up whether Trump is to blame for the economy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of cool honestly, yet disappointing that it ended up scrapped because of the baggage if we're connecting the dots correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
