  1. Vote safely – This election isn’t about supporting a political party or even a political candidate. It’s about saving our representative democracy: the right to vote, have that vote counted and a peaceful transition of power for starters. What is happening right now is an attempt to turn our country into an Authoritarian Autocracy run by dictator Trump where there is no representation or accountability to the people by the powerful. Trump is breaking any law or norm he wants to accumulate and hold on to as much power and wealth for himself as possible. He is incapable of considering or caring about anyone else beyond their utility and loyalty to him. Trump’s rise, governing and crimes are like those of Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pinochet, Erdoğan, Putin, etc. Our choice this election is perfectly clear. We can either defend every person’s constitutional rights including the freedoms of speech, assembly, press, religion and petition, etc. or we can lose them to the tyranny of powerful elites. Dr. Ben Franklin after the Constitutional Convention in 1778 is believed to have been asked, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” We do not need a time machine to know what Dr. Franklin would want us to do in order to keep our democratic republic.

    1. @Nine Fools Wise TREASON FROM WITHIN
      A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague. — Marcus Tullius Cicero, from a speech given to the Roman Senate, recorded in ~ 42 B.C. by Sallust.

    2. ​@Yashar’el in Captivity I recommend you read Plato’s “Allegory in a Cave” and then step out into the sunlight. Feel that bright heat on your face and then go for a long walk. You’ll feel a lot better when you escape the despairing echo chamber of depressing conspiracies theories aka social media. An “All Benevolent Being” if one exists, would want people to find peace, happiness and fulfillment but not at the expense of any other – we all count. We are interconnected and interdependent and share a home on this beautiful planet. Such a benevolent being would be devastated if we constantly treat those we share space with on this Earth with carelessness and callous distain. If there is something divine in our universe it is exists in part through each of us and our creations. This is sacred stuff to be cherished and celebrated. Follow the golden rule – treat others as you yourself would wish to treated. The messages of the wisest among us pretty much can all be summed up in a single word – LOVE. Nothing else is worth our time and toil. Stay safe & Cheers.

    3. @Beatrice M Voter Suppression and Voter Intimidation are throw around these days as easy as Fascism lets see voter suppression is not having a state issued ID card it’s 2020 if you don’t have one how do you survive maybe your dead, voter intimidation only comes from the left if you don’t vote for the right guy…….

    1. @DGC I am certainly not holding you or anyone from leaving the democrat plantation as you call it.11 Republican presidents have come from the southern plantations and had slaves in American history except 1 as i recalled who actually was anti-slavery during those times. I just wondered why black people would vote for a known racist,Trump and his father faced racist charges.

    2. President Trump will win by a landslide victory, because most of Americans Republicans and Democrats are with him. Joe Biden 47 years in congress , achieved nothing, other than enrich himself and his family there`s no competition here.

    3. @Lennard Kahn VoTE TRUMP KLEPTOCRAT OUT. You have a short memory as we all know Biden saved economy during the banking crisis which was worse than wall street crash of the 1920’s. Kahn is Germanised for Jewish COHEN. So as a minority Jewish person you are plugging Trump the racist. Amazing.

  2. It is quite simple people,
    VOTE DEMOCRAT RIGHT DOWN THE LINE FOR THE SAKE OF THE REPUBLIC AND HUMANITY.
    🙋‍♂️🐈🤜🤛👍🙂🇺🇸

  3. One day to the final Election Day…. trolls and bots are already surging and going nuts. Ignore their frenzy; responding puts money in their pockets. Be smart… don’t buy into their BS.

    1. @Gary Campbell More Like Vote Blue Straight up and down the Ticket! Don’t let Fox News Channel Win Again And don’t let Putin take over the world!

    2. @Meaty proctor : Not in between the coasts (minus a handful of states) and out of the big cities. Those are the ones who absolutely do NOT want the democrat / liberal alternative they are looking at and listening to right now, AND for the past 4yrs.

    3. @Meaty proctor : Well, around here in the rural midwest ? All that dictator crap does is just make people dig their heels in a little deeper to vote red.

  4. Abraham Lincoln:
    YOU CAN FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

    1. @Charles Dennison I still believe in the US democracy which is much stronger than the one in Germany in the 1930s. Highjacked by Hitler. But beware as all dictators started of being elected.

    2. This are different times is not 2016 anymore there is a reason to vote like it or not all votes will be counted it’s on God’s Hands.

  5. We need the White House and Congress! Mobilize everyone! Come to the vote, bring your family and friends. Vote for the Democrats! Save Democracy! Save the country from Trump.

    1. Gabriel Fernando
      vote Democrat, Save Socialism/Communism. Save our Country so the Federal Government can rule us all.

    2. Americans are now scared, but they need to ask themselves how did the country get to this point? America’s centuries of hate, racism, divide, and ignorance have manifested Donald trump. Think about it. Trump is a product of America. Too bad the citizens are not and have never been united. Too much ego and better than attitude. Divided you stand, divided you fall. Good luck America.

    3. President Trump will win by a landslide victory, because most of Americans Republicans and Democrats are with him. Joe Biden 47 years in congress , achieved nothing, other than enrich himself and his family there`s no competition here.

    1. Draft Kings Election Pool: Majority in 49 States Predict Trump Victory
      A Draft Kings Election Pool update posted on the eve of Election Day showed that a majority of participants in 49 states believe that President Donald Trump will emerge as the victor in the presidential election.
      Draft Kings’ official Twitter account posted a “DK Election Pool Alert” for its $100,000 pool on Monday, reporting that a majority of people in every state, with the exception of those in Colorado, predicted Trump would win the presidential election:
      ••••••••••••••••••••

    2. i DID. aND I am so thrilled to be living in these times. To experience this historic election. The People Will have Spoken. Be safe everyone. President Biden; yep sounds good.

  6. Trump lives in an alternate reality. He doesn’t understand that most Americans DO NOT want him to be the president. Let’s hope the results tomorrow are beyond dispute and will end his time in the White House.

    1. What are you going to do when Trump wins tonight? Most Americans don’t want to watch you have a tantrum.

  7. I pray that Americans do the right thing!!! I don’t want a dictator!!!
    Please save our democracy!!!💪👏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. President Trump will win by a landslide victory ,because most Americans, Republicans and Democrats, are with him.

    2. Dictator never impeached during in office. That’s the liar we must consider. Vote for Trump if you know this liar.

    3. Praise are those who created a moral and ethics rioting, looting stores, burning cars and murdering MAGA hat lover. That’s Obama morals and ethics means.

  8. They are proven conmen and criminals, 9 convicted, witness came out and proved the guilt. He has built a wall of corrupt criminals that will fight to stay in power at all cost, we need to vote them out

    1. This is what I cannot understand. Regardless of it being Trump, who the f would vote for a proven criminal who’s on a mission to own the country. It’s not even short memories, it’s no memory. His supporters must be fish.

    2. @P B they are xenophobic intellectually incurious morons raised on a diet of far right wing propaganda distributed by fox “news” and right wing radio.

    3. President Trump will win by a landslide victory, because most of Americans Republicans and Democrats are with him. Joe Biden 47 years in congress , achieved nothing, other than enrich himself and his family there`s no competition here.

  9. This thing about McConnel sitting on legislation astounds me. What kind of ‘democracy’ allows one man to dictate the will of the people in this manner. It’s abhorrent. The rules need changing.

    1. If you knew anything about the USA Constitution, you would know congress and the President legally have the right to appoint Supreme Court Judges

    2. the turtle has a huge pile of bills sitting on his desk that have been passed by the House months ago he refuses to allow any of them to come to the Senate floor for consideration or a vote abhorrent is a perfect description

    3. @Lennard Kahn I know plenty, about that. What I dont now is how your post in any way relates to mine. Perhaps you could enlighten me.

  10. Americans like Presidents who can tell the TRUTH and don’t get a quarter of a million of us killed by putting their campaign optics above science and SAVING LIVES.
    BIDEN-HARRIS 2020!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    Make America AMERICA Again.
    🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

    1. Science tells us that babies feel pain at 2 weeks. Yet, it’s okay to crush a babies skull before dragging it out of the womb.
      400,000 black babies die every year because of abortion.
      95% of reported Wuhan deaths are fake . The cdc has reported.
      How did Joe make his millions ? By telling the truth? Lololololl.

    2. Actually China lied about COVId , if trump killed all of these Americans then why is Europe having the same virus spikes

  11. I hope that statement is true. Because no democracy has ever been used like the Trump family has used the United States ! Vote Blue !

    1. @TJ 13F I voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton. But I’m going to change that mistake I made this election. The Trump experiment needs to end Tuesday

    1. wrong….in commercial real estate trump stated 100% occupancy
      on his taxes he stated 30% occupancy and net loss on operating costs
      FELONIES !!!!
      the southern dist of NY is why trump left NY in 2018….he will either leave the country for a non extradition country or face life in prison
      also …trump is BK

    2. @Ebbrush3 tell us why the IRS has never charges trump for that then.. why.. because there are no crimes on trump.. your a dem for sure accuse till you eye bulge out.. in the end you lose and you just walk away..we seen that out of the dems in congress.. fakeo clowns

    3. @Ebbrush3 i reclaim my time.. i reclaim my time.. i reclaim my time.. what a bunch of scams the dems are..4 years and 5 investigations and not 1 crime or collusion.. scams that failed the dems

    1. What? The only civil violence I see is coming from left wing nut jobs like Antifa & BLM. I think you need glasses.

  12. Yep. Trump wants his word and his lopsided court-stacking to decide the election, not the American People. VOTE! America doesn’t need or want a dictator. Get out and vote him out!

    1. @The3rdeyedontdie Biden isn’t Trump, kiddo. Trump is the wannabe dictator, remember. He’s been blowing autocrats all over the world for 4 years and since day one has treated his failed presidency as a dictatorship.

    2. @TJ 13F Yes but AMERICANS don’t want or need a dictator. AMERICANS don’t want or need an autocrat. AMERICANS don’t want Trump. They didn’t even vote Trump in by popular vote last time. Far short. If not for massive GOP gerrymandering and foreign interference, Trump would have lost.

  13. What a sorry state of affairs in America when the republicans want the courts to decide elections instead of the people’s vote.

  14. Even if trump win, the Democrats still get the house and the Senate. And then they can impeach him for real. But VOTE 💙💙💙💙💙💙

    1. @Night Hawks lmao he won’t have to steal the election when he wins by a landslide, and what “numerous crimes” are you referring to besides making Liberals cry again for another 4 years? “Voter suppression”? lol is that what CNN told you.?

  15. America’s economy is tanked bc of tRump’s TOXIC LEADERSHIP and his SURRENDER to COVID-19 pandemic.

    1. @The3rdeyedontdie Economists noted in February that we were in the start of a recession. The pandemic made it worse but it didn’t cause it. Trump did.

    2. @jain thorne lol wait so you’re saying that when Trump took the advice from health experts to lock down the country it had nothing to do with a recession?? And now that the GDP is starting to bounce back and the economy is growing despite what “economists” had projected it wouldn’t Trump had nothing to do with it? This is why it’s so difficult to take people like you seriously..

    3. A world leader who finally put a stop to America`s endless wars and commenced to bring home his troops.Then went on to Neutralised North Korea.. Accepted Jerusalem as the Jewish State`s Capital, it`s rightful place. Defuse Iran`s ambition to destroy the middle east with a nuclear bomb. Then with his team after 70 years, while all before him failed, brought a peace agreement between Israel and it`s Arab neighbours. When a reporter yelled a question at President Trump “do you believe you deserve the Nobel Prize” he responded ” Peace Is The Prize.” Now that`s a President not a globalist puppets

    4. @Lennard Kahn Do you know that Trump order nearly more than double the amount of drone strikes than Obama did in his EIGHT years COMBINED?
      There have been 2,243 drone strikes in the first two years of the Trump presidency, compared with 1,878 in Mr Obama’s eight years in office, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a UK-based think tank.
      Also in 2018, Trump revokes the law that ensures that the government had to record all civilians killed by drones. The Trump administration said the rule was “superfluous” and distracting. So much for transparency. We will never know how many people Trump has killed with his drones strikes.

    5. @Lennard Kahn Moving the capital to Jerusalem only raise tensions with the Palestinians. His supposed peace agreements with Bahrain and UAE is nothing more than weapon sale deals, besides there wasn’t any war between Israel and Bahrain and the UAE.

      I stopped reading after that. LOLOLOL
