What's dark about encouraging people to work as election workers? Shouldn't both sides be doing this?
Read the article. These aren’t dispassionate citizens doing their civic duty, these are folks going in with a preset agenda to sow chaos.
and
What's wrong with preventing election fraud? If anything, wouldn't having Conservative Christians be part of the count not reassure people that fraud isn't taking place? Or am I too British to understand
Wouldn't having trumpy people watching it not increase their confidence in the result?
Wouldn't foxes guarding the henhouse make the henhouse more foxproof?
Isn't the allegation though that the dems are doing the interference?
If they were going in with an open mind, there’s no problem. Actual voter fraud is an amazingly rare occurrence and gets found out immediately 99.999% of the time already. But these folks are coming in with their minds made up that large scale fraud is occurring all over the place and what you end up with is voter intimidation and disenfranchisement of voters.
This is actually by design with these folks. They want to scare off minorities, legal immigrants, and folks who are transgendered, etc.
I suspect you are too British to understand why we are so fucked over here. My British friend and my Canadian friends have much the same problem.
Team Pepe (Trump's team) are on a holy mission to beat the Devil out of US politics. To be clear, the Devil is the Democratic Party. This is not hyperbole. One of the largest factions behind Trump is the QAnon faction, that literally believes Democrats are baby-eating, baby-fucking Satan worshippers that meet in the basement of a pizza parlour that has no basement and plan the Satanic takeover of all of society.
In pursuit of this 'existential battle of Good vs. Evil', complete with capital letters, anything is permissible. It's a holy war to them, and we're the satanic hoards coming to take their way of life from them. They aren't here to prevent possible election fraud. They are absolutely sure that there is election fraud because we are the Devil, and the Devil cheats. They're here to make sure none of us votes because none of our votes are legitimate in their eyes. They don't care that we're legally entitled to vote. If we win on Election Day, it's because the Devil cheated, not because more people said they want us than Team Pepe.
I hope this clears things up for you.
Tbf I have seen leftists on here talk about worshipping Satan and how great they think Satan is
This is tongue in cheek and reactionary to Christians overstepping bounds. The satanic temple, for example, doesn't actually believe in Satan.
You'd have a point if this were good faith encouragement of civic duty, but it's not, it's a surreptitious attempt to gain control over the mechanisms of power at the expense of everyone else.
Really saying the quiet part out loud there.
“Hey guys do you want this cool wooden horse? It’s full of Greeks, irritated, sunburned Greeks, armed to the teeth and really really pissed off”
I agree. An organisation like this trying to influence politics should pay tax.
So a religious pressure group should pay more tax than an ordinary right wing group or a leftist group? Isn't that religious discrimination? What if they're humanists
Assuming that election workers have to have a side is peak American.
