    1. @vote red Trump 2020 Disgusting individual, all dump supporters are disgusting and show just how depraved you all are with comments like this.

    2. @vote red Trump 2020 read my comment again, you and the left are somewhat confused with my post. LOL I’m trolling I guess you haven’t smoked Camel cigarettes before??? And you know who the mascot is…

    3. @vote red Trump 2020 I’m not mad at you, I’m still voting Trump… Just for future reference please read comments carefully.

  1. I think it’s awesome that when she wins, she will not just be the first female VP, but have achieved all those other firsts at the same time!

    1. “Givе me ten years, аnd you will not rеcognizе Germany anymore!”
      ― Adolf Schicklgruber @ last election slogan, 1933

    2. I think only 50% of Americans wins, regardless of who becomes a president. The country is divided in half. What do you mean all American can win when only half of them is represented by the government.

    1. @MightyJoe977 trump offend and alienated minorities, women, military, republicans, elderly, Health care workers, Science community, Veterans, Disabled. So who does he have left.

  2. Vote safely & avoid USPS – 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 with 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. We have the fortitude to stay the long haul, whatever is necessary. We are standing looking out over the precipice. The sun is rising on our new beginnings… We’ve got this.

    1. @Charles Brewer my facts are correct you just don’t like the truth. Democrats Also the party of abortion, cancel culture, fake Dossier, Perverted liberal Hollywood, defund the police, believe all women (only liberal women), riots, looting, of big tech, open Borders, illegal aliens, I could go on and on.

    2. @Kenton202 Well, in a few weeks it will all be over.
      You will either get your wish for a Trump second term or you may not and the Democrats will win Government.
      I think you are delusional and wrong, but there is no point arguing about it is there.
      BY January 20 all will be revealed.
      By the way , if Trump goes to the courts it will not be resolved by january 20.
      Look up the Twelfth Amensment, Nancy Peloci will become the temorary President until the dispute is resolved.
      The Peresident has NO role in deciding the outcome of the election.

    3. I like how Trump has not done anything to change the way our government and Constitutional Republic is run and yet you say we are losing our democracy. Trump is trying to change things? Mainstream Democrats have openly supported packing the court (something not done in over 100 years), abolishing the filibuster, changing the Senate, and abolishing the electoral college so they can do whatever they want. The point of checks and balances is so that the government is not overreaching into private life, but the left wants to tear down those checks and balances because they believe they are more moral than those they disagree with. Trump is breaking norms? p.s. the Constitutional Convention was in 1787

    4. Excuse me.. America is a Constitutional Republic which is under threat from socialist / communist predators that infiltrated the DNC

    1. Yes – she won also by being accepted by UCLA Law school ahead of white poor students because her father was Jamaican who worked at Stanford University as a Professor in Economics, and mother was from the upscale family in India, had PhD from Berkley and worked in US and Canada as a medical researcher and college professor. Special treatment because her father as Jamaican. The people discriminated were White students from poor families and with parents who had no college education. Kamala was placed ahead of them even though they had higher LSAT scores.

  3. “[Tyrants] injure and oppress the people under their administration, provoking them to cry out and complain, and then make that very outcry the foundation for new oppressions and persecutions.”~Andrew Hamilton, 1735 (NOT Alexander Hamilton)

    The Trial of John Peter Zenger for Libeling the Colonial Government in 1735 is why we have free speech and free press on this continent.

    A transcript of the trial, which was a popular little book at the time, was in possession of Thomas Jefferson when drafting the Declaration of Independence and inspired the First Amendment to the Constitution.

    This is a short section of the full transcript:

    http://www.dialogue2.ca/EG-alexander-hamilton-1735.html

    1. Tyrants are what USA has installed in countries around the world since 1947, CIAs inception , authoritarians are good for oligarchs in USA , pick a country where USA did not over through , to install authoritarians though legally voted in by the country’s populace , that threatened USA special interests ? Now this mentality has come home to roost , 11 billion was spent swaying electorate .Big money skews reality. Capitalism threatens democracy..

    2. @zerooskul there are 80 or so .easier to name where USA installed democratic leaders ..none ,,Italy was first ,simpler ,,go to CBC.CA ,Ideas Nov 2 2020,..Capitalism and Totalitarianism ,Thank you , ,please respond when you listen with your own takeaway

  4. It’s Nov 3rd the day that will define who we are !!!
    Still time to register online to vote 🗳
    Let it do it !
    don’t wait till 2024 do it today !..

  5. Legend has it, when Trump had his DNA tested….
    It came back as a stool sample.
    It is what it is. 💩 Now lets get a real president 🇺🇸 Biden 💙 Harris 🇺🇸 2020 💙

    1. Wasn’t she accepted into UCLA Law program because she claimed underprivileged status and racial discrimination despite that her father was a professor at Stanford, and mother had PhD and was working in US and Canada as a medical researcher and college professor. Kamala family in India was an up-scale family and her grandfather was an important government official. Yet all this guaranteed her acceptance into UCLA ahead of poor white students with parent who had no college education and no money.

    2. Yep. I just took a Democrat, and flushed it all the way to the Biden White House. I’m sure he’ll put a face on it and appoint it to his cabinet.

  6. Too bad about Willie Brown, her daddy, and her extremist values. Hope that doesn’t cement her reputation. That would not be good.
