“Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump,” the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, “you are an ignorant stupid negro.” The other side says, “Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton.”

    Whomever came up with this should be investigated for voter intimidation. Threatening people with slavery if they don’t vote for your preferred candidate is not only stupid but illegal.

      Don’t go there, that ally is very dangerous, you will get mugged.

      It’s not a threat, it’s a warning about other people.

        It’s intimidation and I’m sick of people on both sides pretending that it’s okay to intimidate and threaten people about who they should vote for.

          Intimidation. Noun. The act of making timid or fearful or of deterring by threats; the state of being intimidated.

          Threat. Noun. An expression of an intention to inflict pain, harm, or punishment.

          It’s not an intention, it’s information. You won’t do anything, you are saying that, without any interaction, someone else wants and will do that.

          I understand disliking that, but it’s not a threat.

            Intimidation doesn’t require a direct threat and you should know this. All it requires is a statement intended to make people fear for their safety.

                If you put that at a voting site or said people would die of high voltage because of voting for Kamala then yes that could constitute voter intimidation. You think I’m saying this only to help Trump? I’m saying it is a problem from both Republicans and Democrats. Why are you so offended about that?

                  I’m saying fuck Trump, and fuck Putin, and fuck Both Sides astroturfers.

                  You have failed. You should go back to Troth Sential.
