    We’re living in a present where election officials of a democratic country need to prepare with bulletproof glass and panic buttons among the things to guarantee that election day goes smoothly. And somehow, the people responsible for this not only are free and doing their will, they are running for the government through that election.

    And I am supposed to think that dystopian futures seen in the movies are somehow worse?

      I believe we have an opportunity to show such a great Democratic win that it will help reset some of the insanity. Putting a stop to potential worse case dystopian futures.

        I do want this. Not a democrat super fan but repbulicans need to lose so badly that they go under and resetup shop again under a new banner and pretend they have some principles again.

    It’s really cool how we turned a boring civic duty into one of the most dangerous jobs in the USA.

    Do they let you carry if you have a permit and work the polls? Because I’d never volunteer to work at a place that is a target for mass shooting for the exact type of people who commit more than 9 of every 10 mass shootings if I couldn’t. I’m not getting shot because Fox news wanted to profit off mentally unwell people.

        Interesting. Ive only been an observer on the behalf of a mayoral campaign but that was over a decade ago and I didn’t even have a CCW then.
