    1. 4 ways to prevent trump and the current crop of enabling GOP politicians from rigging our votes:
      tl:dr (summary)
      1. Check your voter registration.
      2. Vote early.
      3. Use no-excuse absentee voting in states where it is available.
      4. No votes for a third-party. Vote Biden.
      https://www.vote.org/

      Check your voter registration status NOW. County clerks in Republican districts across the country fraudulently purge voter rolls of legitimate Democrat voters prior to each election. In the 2014 mid-term election, many people arrived at their local polling station only to discover they were no longer registered to vote, even though they had been a resident of that county and living at the same address for several years. They were forced to cast a “provisional ballot,” which, it is suspected, was not counted in the final vote tally.

      Always verify your voter registration status well ahead of upcoming elections to ensure there is time to re-register in case of any Republican shenanigans. And keep checking until you have voted – your registration may have been purged after you checked the first time. If you have 2 minutes while you’re waiting for something, check! https://www.vote.org/

      2. Vote early. In Republican states, there will no doubt be attempts to suppress voter turnout in Democratic districts by limiting the number of polling stations and reducing polling hours. This will likely be under the guise of protecting voters and polling workers from Covid-19 exposure. Laws no doubt vary by state.

      For example, in Texas, voters must vote at their designated polling location on Election Day. However, during the early voting period, voters can vote at any open polling location in their county of residence. This makes it more difficult for Republicans to target Democratic districts for poll closures and restricted hours. Find the early voting laws for your state, and vote as early as possible. This will point you in the right direction: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/early-voting-in-state-elections.aspx

      3. Use no-excuse absentee voting in states where it is available. “No excuse absentee voting” means you can request an absentee ballot from your state or county election official for any reason. Currently, 29 states offer no excuse absentee voting, including the most important swing states: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. If your state is on this list, request an absentee ballot and mail it no later than October 20th to ensure it is received and counted: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/vopp-table-1-states-with-no-excuse-absentee-voting.aspx

      Mail in ballots can be dropped off at your local election board in most cases, or authorized ballot boxes at various locations in your state. That will lighten the burden on the Post Office that Trump has kneecapped. To New Yorkers: New York State has Republican districts. Due to COVID-19, the legislature recently passed several bills to make it easier to request an absentee ballot. The date was moved up so you can request one today. You can use COVID-19 as a reason. Other states may have also instituted this measure. Check. For more information see: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-signs-law-sweeping-election-reforms#_blank

      4. Do NOT waste your vote. Yes, many, many American are frustrated by the two-party system and the appeal of underdog third-party candidates is understandable. Please realize, however, that a vote for a third-party candidate is effectively a vote for trump. Don’t believe me? Just look at the numbers. Two states, Florida and Wisconsin, tipped the Electoral College for Trump in 2016. Trump won Florida by 113,000 votes and Wisconsin by a mere 23,000 votes. The top two third-party candidates, Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein, captured 271,000 combined votes in Florida and 137,000 combined votes in Wisconsin. According to exit polls, the overwhelming majority of these votes were from disenfranchised Liberal voters who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton.

      Joe Biden may not be the preferred candidate – nevertheless, we must be united in taking back our country and make America thrive again. Please share this message as often as possible from now to Election Day. Say “NO” to another four years of fascism.

  1. if you think trump supporters are sitting idly by you are in for a surprise. We Biden supporters must work hard to turn out the vote. Brown, Black, White, Elderly, Young All of us must do our part to defeat trump and his GOP enablers in Congress.

    1. @S Martin you know why they purge Democrat votes?
      Because you idiots aren’t smart enough to guide the Country………

    2. @Junie Bugg HEY KIDDO!!!
      I haven’t seen you in a while!!!

      What have you been looking into lately?

      ……other than gloryholes……….

    3. You guys are gonna loose bigly and its gonna br beautiful and then your gonna try and cheat with mail in ballots you guys are pathetic TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. @The Tweatles Obama got us past the greatest World Economic crisis since the great depression and the jobs creation trajectory continued under djt. It did NOT, however, improve under the current administration… it continued at the same pace. I would have preferred that the individuals in crisis be bailed out than the financial institutions but I guess the economy was too fragile for that. If you’re an American, you’re my brother or sister, not my enemy and I’m not your enemy.

    2. @YouTube Moderator that is actually true, there is no specific law that cites any politician must release their taxes….simply because they haven’t needed to make it a law because every other Presidential candidate since 1970 has done it out of good faith and common sense. To show Americans they have no direct conflicts of interest or foreign entanglements that could be used as leverage. Now because of Trump there will need to be a law written to prevent anyone like Trump from being able to do it in the future…..you think this is some short of defense for Donald Trump? The mounting testimony, evidence and proceeding against him for tax evasion right now (he has lost every single court battle and in running lap two currently, just lost again actually) is because he is attempting to use executive privilege (Presidential power) to hide 8 years of taxes before he became POTUS in a criminal proceeding…. not at all a tip off….still feel like arguing the finer points to defend Trump? He lied to you just like he lied to me but hey….maybe that doesn’t bother you…..

    1. His plan is to eliminate Democrats. and become our own Lil Hitler, probably the only books he ever read was Mien Kampf, Our own Drumpfy Hitler. well, he didn’t read it it was on tape.

    2. @The Tweatles You would do well to follow the mask advice you just posted.

      Nearly 200 miles of dead bodies lined end to end from COVID and only 7 miles of new border wall constructed. Your president has failed you bigly.

  2. What kind of person purposely puts an entire country of people through this kind of unnecessary stress – with all that we’ve already endured the past 6 months – just to boost his own ego? He’s not a leader; he’s using our turmoil to entertain himself

    2. @Randy Couch Chaos caused by alt-right provocateurs – throwing stones, breaking windows and starting fires. How is it that conservatives can never do politics honestly? Why must they always lie, cheat and weasel?

  3. This country is need of so much help to get rid of the current people in power. PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE ALL OFF THOSE CROOKS OUT. LETS GET OUR COUNTRY BACK. DON’T TRUST ANY OF THE POLLS.

    1. @kingpest13 Yes – the republicans and the corporate / establishment Democrats have the same campaign donors. The difference is that with a Biden / Harris administration, there will be an election in 2024. With a second trump term, there will NOT be an election in 2024.

  4. Trump knows he is going to lose in November, this is why he is
    railroading, with the help of McConnell, to replace RBG as soon as
    possible. It is six weeks before the elections and they expect to steal
    the victory from Biden by declaring the results as rigged and fraudulent
    therefore making the Supreme Court decide who the President is, like
    what happened in the year 2000, when the Republicans stole it from Al
    Gore. He said this himself during one of his rallies. Vote for
    BIDEN/HARRIS!!! VOTE BLUE!!!

    2. @S Martin you have forgotten number 5 and the most certain way to not waste your vote

      Vote straight line Republican. 😁

  5. When the president shreds the constitution, makes common cause with the enemies of democracy, and declares war on over half the populace
    When do the oaths that every servicemen takes come into play
    “….I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same…”
    The time is fast approaching when you will either honor the oath you took, or prove yourselves faithless and without honor

    1. When do the oaths that Senators and Reps of House take to defend the Constitution come into play? I trust the servicemen to keep their oath. Those that could hold him accountable for breaking his oath, not so much.

    2. Eh-lien spoken like someone who considers servicemen suckers and losers
      You don’t know what honor means nor will you ever

    1. VOTE THE REPUBLICAN OUT RIGHT ALONG WITH TRUMP. this is the problem we know Republicans have been corrupted but people will still vote for them to maintain party line. That is stupid vote them out.

    2. @The Tweatles Translation: In reality democrats won’t let me be racist, homophobic and deserve to be murdered in the street if they protest!

  6. IMPORTANT YOUNG WOMEN: The Senate nomination really only affects the lives of the youth of America. If young people don’t get out and vote for their rights, they will lose them and they will regret it for the rest of their lives. I have lived through the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80, 90s,2000-2020s. I can tell you that you don’t want to go back to those times in history. Especially young women. Talk to women who were beaten by their husbands and had no one to call and no where to go for shelter. No way to get child support if your husband abandoned you for someone younger and prettier. Talk to women who had no birth control; who had babies every year until they died. Talk to women whose mothers and grandmothers fought for the right to vote. Talk to women who have lead the way for your future to become VP or President. Equal pay and all the other things women have fought hard to overcome prejudice and victimization. You have been born into a very different world than I was. Think about your future. Vote blue and save yourself and others.

    1. This is why I say to our young women, if the courts rule against your rights, don’t marry, don’t have children. As soon as you do, your rights, property and self will diminish. Keep your freedom. Young women in other countries are focusing on themselves and careers. It may be the only way women can regain their power. Imagine us with no new marriages or babies for one or two years. Would they give back our rights, pay us and treat us as equals? Would they make peace or clean our planet? What would they give us to bring children into the world again?

  7. Why are we not ARRESTING these people? They are traitors setting us up for the end of democracy. WE need accountability.

    1. @W.A M.P 37 states are using the exact same mail in voting procedures that have used for elections for past decades, only 4 states are new to the table and 3 of those 4 are considered “red” states. Trump claims over and over again that voting by mail is fraudulent citing no proof and backed by no one not even Republican election lawyers. Trump has stated that voting by mail is fraudulent in “blue” states, but “red” states are fine to vote by mail. A federal judge just ruled that Lois DeJoy’s handling of the USPS since July of this year based on interactions with the WH and evidence was clearly politically motivated. Trump said TODAY that if we “get rid of the ballots there is nothing to worry about…it will be a safe…well frankly there won’t be a transition of power”. This is but a fragment of what is behind my assertion and NONE of it is filtered through opinion editorial driven news offerings from major media outlets that are biased toward their target audience…PS that is something specific to the Democrat/left, Republican conservative media is JUST as bad….FOXNews is the absolute worst on that scale…and I am not even a Democrat.

    2. @sun dial is that all you got????go back to sleep….even Barr reported that there is zero evidence to back these claims.

    3. @sun dial trump is best buddies with the two biggest Marxists on the planet – Putin and Kim. trump is doing Putin’s bidding and will hand America over to Putin who will turn it into a Marxist state.

    2. @Derry Taylor No – he’s a russian troll who is paid the equivalent of $1 (in roubles) for every reply to a comment that he makes. Don’t feed and water them.

  8. AP FLASH: New York Governor Cuomo states that he WILL NOT PARDON, Putin’s Fat, Orange, Squeeze!!!

    1. @D N A Trumps Daughter Ivanka holds more ties Financially as well as Politically to China then Biden while Trump defends Putin against his own Intelligence Agencies about bounties on American Service Members and has plans to meet Putin before the elections.

    2. ​@D N A Good thinking (if you can call it that) No, Putin didn’t release “no virus into the world.” He is releasing an oppressive authoritarian autocracy into the world, something much more dangerous and long lasting than a deadly pandemic…and he has his lap dog puppet in the White House doing his bidding for him.
      I don’t want to keep you D N A, Sean Hannity is telling some more lies that I’m sure you don’t want to miss.

  9. An ounce of pot sends me to jail. But treason and conspiring against the US gets you a million dollar payday and golf outings on the backs of taxpayers.

The top two third-party candidates, Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein, captured 271,000 combined votes in Florida and 137,000 combined votes in Wisconsin. According to exit polls, the overwhelming majority of these votes were from disenfranchised Liberal voters who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton.

      Joe Biden may not be the preferred candidate – nevertheless, we must be united in taking back our country and make America thrive again. Please share this message as often as possible from now to Election Day. Say “NO” to another four years of fascism.
