That's awfully cynical. Far more reasonable to assume that their going to ya know, work and earn money.

You should be more outraged that OUR PEOPLE have to go through so much ******** just to vote.

 

[Korofi]

You should be more outraged that OUR PEOPLE have to go through so much bull**** just to vote.

see but this the thing
i could be outraged at that
but its to be expected
as a black man in america that im a have some pushback
or roadblocks for change
so its up to ME and everyone else
to recognize that
and not give up
id be out there all damn day
again we can stand in line for some damn shoes
stand in line for a damn ticket
to get a CHANCE at buying some damn shoes
but cant stand in line to do some REAL change
nah
im not rolling
we knew what it was before voting day
its on us to stay the course so to speak

 

[Fozz]

I want to see how Gillam and Beto are doing.

And all these reports of down machines and missing power cords. Terrible.

 

[RustyShackleford]

yall dont even vote

You really took time out your day to make this uninformed drive by post.

But aren't you assuming that they're leaving and not coming back? Luckily for me it took 10 minutes to vote but if they said the machines where broke and I was in line for an hour. I would leave, go to work and come back at lunch or something.

 

[cubanref]

Well, my American comrades, I'm off to bed. My fam has voted blue across the board! Hoping to wake up to a blue wave in the morning out here for you guys! Good luck! #Kalegang #Beto #Abrams #Gillum #Bluewave

 

[Wargames]

That sounds like a onion headline

Dude please, you argument is inherently flawed.

The sneakerhead population leans young and male, the voting population leans old and female. So you're gonna talk a old lower income black woman "shame on you" for not waiting hours in line to vote IN A ******* DEEP BLUE STATE no less, because you assume she would stand in line for some Jordans.

You don't see how asinine that is, for you to try and shame black voters with that example?

You can still express disappointment at people not waiting but talking down on them, especially when they showed up to vote, like you are doing is plain and simple ********. These people are not lazy or apathetic, they showed up during a midterm.

The outrage lies not with the people that showed up to vote. It lies with the ****** up system that disenfranchise them.

 

[sonoftony]

Brahs, I'm nervous. I hope Gillum brings it home. I also can't get over the ******* with the Georgia polls

 

[Barbados Slim]

but then arent u assuming the did plan on going back???

no because I'm not assuming anything. I didn't say they were planning on coming back. I'm just stating that it's a possibility so there's no reason to be upset. As a matter of fact the lady in the vid said she was coming back....

 

[cubanref]

its 1pm though

I don't live in the states anymore.

 

[kdawg]

how long before we start getting updates on whose leading in different states

I think Kentucky is first - at 6pm EST. Every hour after has others until Hawaii obviously a few hours later - but we should have a good idea of what's going on by 8 or 9 EST.

That's 1 or 2am for me but I've just had a coffee and I've got some work to do which should keep me awake.

I'm dreading what has happened twice now - went to bed feeling pretty good and woke up with Bush/Trump.

im going by the folks in that pic
they dont look like OLD folks
and i respect ur opinion
but i can express my frustration however i want
and that is frustrating
giving up
and going home is frustrating to me
all the things we have been subjected to as black people
and ur gonna go home
cause the line is long
its really frustrating
but im not tryna get into a back and forth with u or anyone on this
we all or mostly all want the same thing

 

[RustyShackleford]

Whatever man

 

[rexanglorum]

And


Leftists demand that you vote. The DSA is extremely parsimonious with its endorsements (you basically have to be a member who’s running for office) but we issue voter guides for the whole ballot and guess what, our guides ask you to vote straight Democrat. So go and do so.

 

[blastercombo]

That's awfully cynical. Far more reasonable to assume that their going to ya know, work and earn money.

Yeah, you’re probably right. I’m blinded by rage

Yeah, you’re right. It should not be hard to begin with

 

[Benny Hinn]

would be amazing if dems have a historical showing today/tonight, and then muller indicts donny jr and stone tomorrow

If that happens then #NoNutNovember is a wrap

 

[boris]

That’s good logic but it’s going to change my mind
people that are running are not doing anything for me
If Cuomo Does what Cynthia Nixon wanted to do
I’ll vote for him in another four years how about that

I don’t believe politicians

The last time I voted before this past September was 12 ago

Too many liberals in nys and as I said I’m not Voting unless legalized marijuana is on the ballot

You could at least vote for the benefit of other people.
