Summary: A man was caught on video removing and destroying Harris-Walz signs outside an early voting site in Raleigh. The man claimed he was expressing his political beliefs, but removing or stealing political signs is considered theft and is a misdemeanor. Early voting continues through Saturday, with Election Day on Tuesday, November 5th.

Tuesday is going to be fucking ugly. Wednesday is going to be worse.

I don't care if Tuesday's fucking ugly

and Wednesday’s worse

Thursday, Friday, no remorse

Monday we’ll all fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, realize we all smell like farts

Oh, Thursday doesn't even start…

It’s Friday, I’m ~~in love~~ still fucking glad I voted

I don't care if Monday's filing cases without evidence to clog the courts

Tuesday's prematurely declaring victory and Wednesday accusing fraud because vote count went overnight due to unsupported and disproven gop challenges of voting machines

Thursday, trucks with ski masked people pulling up to the Capitol with assault rifles

It's Friday, I'm in a camp for suspected Marxist socialist antifahs!

Monday, barricades at politician's homes can fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, break my elderly neighbor's hip when cops break the door down at the wrong home and tackle her for being a suspected "illegal"

Oh, Thursday doesn't even start because musk/trump dept of efficiency has outlawed clocks and calendars so there can be no more legal labor challenges of unpaid overtime, no weekends and no holiday pay

It's Friday, I'm in only the second week of trump's second, never-ending term as America's dictator clumsily toppling 250+ years of democracy


You know you can do the right thing here. Go register, go vote. It's fast, simple and painless. You know we have to tell ourselves the above could never happen here to feel safe, but you also know it's closer to reality then ever before and you can do something, right now.

Nov 6 - Jan 21 is going to be tense. But, if Harris wins it’ll be worth it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

Wait until all the bullshit ramps up by Saturday. I totally imagine escalating bullshit for several weeks if not more.

I really think people are going to die.

And that’s why I vote by mail.
