Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

"President Donald Trump said North Carolina voters who mail in ballots for November’s election should go to the polls and attempt to vote a second time to verify whether the ballots sent via the U.S. Postal Service were counted. The president’s suggestion could lead to voters violating the law if they attempt to cast a second ballot, and his comments mark his latest salvo in his denunciation of mail-in voting, an option expected to be used by far more Americans during the coronavirus pandemic. He argues that voting by mail carries a risk of fraud and would put his Republican Party at a disadvantage."
I know this "what if" game is often played to the point of exhaustion, but let's play it one more time....."If in 2012, Obama was down in the polls and urging people in a swing state to vote twice just to see happens, republicans will be calling for his execution" --- ok, let's deal with what is......
As Paul Weyrich said way back in the 1980's -- "our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populous goes down"....this is the true reason why Republicans get so triggered by the prospects of high voter turnout; so they cry election fraud every 4 years...because they know, policy-wise, their policies are woefully unpopular -- which is why they always rely on manufactured culture war bullshit instead of policies -- no one will come out to vote for the next huge taxcut giveaway to billionaires, no one is coming out to vote for cutting Social Security and Medicare -- so fear is the only option...which is why in 2020, we have an INCUMBENT PRESIDENT running the same campaign a Republican challenger did in 1968....because they have no other policy but fear-mongering..
Where is Trump's healthcare plan that he kept saying would be out in 2 weeks for the past 2 years?? As usual, Trump urging people to vote illegally will be excused away as "he was just being sarcastic" or "he was just triggering the libs" -- however that in and of itself is pathetic....but for a party with no real policies other than taking credit for bills liberals wrote -- all they have is fear-mongering and trolling.....if Trumpers thought not breathing air would "trigger the libs" -- they would suffocate themselves to death...
