I work in a town that heavily supports unions. All the good jobs are union jobs, which to me would probably mean the people at least lean left. It's as if Biden supporters are just staying quiet or he has 0 support. I have no idea how people have been conned into Trumps BS. I kind of get how they fell for him the first time, but after 4 years you would think they would have caught on by now! I guess people are way stupider than I previously thought.
People just aren't that enthusiastic about Biden. Most people I know are voting against Trump, not for Biden.
Yeah. Well, there should be signs all over the place along the lines of "GET TRUMP OUT! SAVE OUR COUNTRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE"

ya know?

If people are going to put signs in their front yard how about communicating something other than what old white man dick they prefer to suck?

How about:

"I can't afford groceries this month"

"I lost my job when the plant closed"

"I have $5 in my checking account"

can someone explain how my name being in this database could suppress my vote? I'm not understanding these tweets.

The allegation is that they deliberately targeted black voters with anti-Clinton ads in an attempt to persuade them not to vote (not "vote for Trump instead" but more like "don't you feel ignored and disenfranchised?"). I don't think it's suppression, and I don't think it's illegal in any way. It does suggest something about who the Trump campaign sees as its core constituency and what it would like heavily racialized voting blocs to do (not vote!) but I mean...we kind of already knew that?

Thanks. I appreciate it. I was feeling like they are making more of a big deal about it than what it really entails.

Me: "Can I target ads to black families in my community to encourage them to join Scouts?"
Facebook: "Fuck you. That's racist!"

Trump: "Can we target ads to black people everywhere to trash the Democracy?"
Facebook: "I thought you'd never ask!"

He doesn't need to win GA. This just shows where we are in polling. Close in GA & TX while 2 new PA polls show Biden +9 is a good place to be 5 weeks out.
