They warned you: Someone allegedly used a politician's cloned voice to interfere with an election | It will most assuredly not be the last time this happens::undefined

Yeah dude, it's not the actual fascists that are going to cause the end of our democracy. Let's keep blaming Democrats for shit that the GOP is doing.

When your options are:

  1. Full blown fascism

  2. Occasionally fascism and not fighting the other sides fascism

A lot more than the 1/3 that don't normally vote are likely going to not vote in the current election

That is a reality.

And the reality is if there's depressed turnout, Republicans win.

Pointing it out that it's likely to happen won't make it happen.

Getting mad at someone for pointing it out is the same as burning a medicine woman as a witch because she said someone was going to die of their illness and then they died.

Or blaming a meteorologist for the snow storm they predicted.

It doesn't make any rational sense. And you should be happy someone is trying to warn you, instead of getting mad and telling them if they don't mention the issues, they'll go away.

Get mad at the reason for it. In this case, Bidens actions.

If you have a better plan for getting Biden to stop doing all this stupid shit that hurts his chances and help trump besides complaining about it...

Well, I'm all ears.

Because as bad as Biden is, trump is far more dangerous
