[alexw]

Man I hope that's fuckin true.

Republicans getting fucked over by their own voter suppression.

Who else is laughing?

[Breccia]

Found the Giants/Mets fan.

Oh no, Eagles fan till I die. I just accept that they suck 7 years out of 10 and blow playoff chances the other 3.

IF TRUE

Trump supporter are demotivated. We've seen it plenty.

Problem is, enough of them are also violent bullies and as we've seen recently, literal terrorists.

They don't need to vote. They need to stop others from voting.

I think they are too stupid to think they aren't going to win.

Google translater tells me it means 'go ahead' or 'go straight' in 'pure' spanish.

Apperantly it also means 'dale' in arabian, an adapted english word.

I mean, Dalé does exist as a word... But is an argentinian/uruguayan spanish pronunciation (and they write it like that too, sometimes) of the word "Dale".


Edit: and i'm not even sure that they all pronounce it like that, but i've heard some of them do

You know what are the biggest 3 latinx populations in FL? I will give you a hint: Not argentinians/uruguayans.

I've never learned spanish, to my regret, but can't it also mean 'go ahead'? It's only google translator, but still...

IF TRUE THIS MADE MY DAY - TRUMP LOSING WILL MAKE MY YEAR

I don't even know how you'd tell who they support, short of them all wearing MAGA hats...

Say what you will about Lincoln Project......they get Martin Sheen AKA Jed Bartlett to do voiceover on their election day campaign, I'mma link it:

A definite upside to a potential Biden victory is that everyone can stop pretending these people aren't just waiting for the return of a GOP candidate/president that can more competently institute all the beautiful regressive policies they dream about at night.

Dale could mean go ahead or go. It could also mean to give (dale el dinero/give him or her the money).

McEnemy predicts Trump landslide.

Because rallies.

They don't call her Propaganda Barbie for nothing you know.

[AntiFascistVoter]

Team Trump tries to appeal to Latinx voters by...literally making up a word.

Dale, with the accent over the e, doesn't apparently exist as a word. Like, at all.

Dale without the accent is apparently a lot more vague in Florida, but is generally "Ok" or charitably "Go".

That's some identity politics gone wrong right there.

It's Cubano/Miami slang, "Let's go". From andale.

No other Pitbull fans here?

Pete Alexander of NBC News is reporting that there are concerns within the Trump campaign that the Republican operation to get out their voters for Trump is failing. https://t.co/EE1LgG4GD3

They probably demanded to speak to the manager before storming off, dead giveaway.

[Breccia]

It's better to have a kind word and a gun, than a kind word.

It's better to think you are going to win but also obstruct other Americans from their Constitutional right to vote, than to think you're going to win.

Now now, Karen's have mostly voted for Biden this year. We can cut them some slack for now.

Welp... It's started.

THREAD: Officers with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department have made an arrest at a Mecklenburg County polling site in the University City Division.

On November 3, 2020, Justin Dunn, voted at Precinct 202. After voting, Dunn, who was legally carrying an unconcealed firearm, continued to loiter in the PVA of the voting site. At 10:34 a.m., CMPD received a call for service regarding Dunn possibly intimidating other voters.

Dunn was asked to leave the property by an official presiding over the precinct location in front of officers and voluntarily left without further issues. Dunn was also banned from returning to that location by the precinct official.

At 12:40 p.m., CMPD received an additional call for service advising that Dunn had returned to the property. Upon officers’ arrival, they observed Dunn on the property. Dunn was subsequently placed under arrest and charged with 2nd Degree Trespassing.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is committed to protecting the right of our community members to engage in safe, secure and unimpeded access to voting sites. #CMPD

I guess losing isn't enough; Republicans are going to gamble their lives at another Whitehouse superspreader event tonight.

More worried about what they are going to try to do their last few months in office if it is a clean sweep to try and take away the power of the majority before they leave it. If they want to infect their own, they can have at it.

Ma'am, you're my hero for today.

An Arlingtonian shows President Trump a finger as his motorcade makes it’s way back to the White House after a stop at their campaign headquarters in Rosslyn.

Well, assuming this isn't the Kool-Aid Climax of this Jim Jones story, then there is an 89% chance this is going to get canceled. I think it is a result of Trump's worse fear being that he wins, but doesn't have a throng of adoring fans around him to celebrate his triumph. That would be at least as bad as losing.

[Thelxi]

I'm looking at Trump and his campaign and there is a lot of pessimism. Trump is pretty much already reminiscing about the time he was president.

Not that this is any better than regular polls, but this does mean that their internal data is painting a grim picture for them, which is a good sign.
