Too much for you to read?  
Guess you didn’t notice they spanned years and demonstrate a consistent progression off a very sick man, who happens to have become the criminal defendant trump’s main brain-trust.

So sorry, lots of information out there to digest. Not like FOX where you can get your bite sized pieces and you get bonus of not have to do any thinking. _Nothing to see here folks move along._

Oh but having a NAZI-wannabe as the criminal defendant trump’s brain-trust doesn’t seem to bother you in the least.

That’s it?

Gotta love the double standard.  
No I don’t, it’s utter contemptible and unAmerican.

Yes, dirty tricks are played on both sides, but the Republicans have taken it to totally unhinged levels. Your comfort with the double standard speaks for itself.

Heil Trumpf!

The earth centrist 😄 doesnt realise the biggest voter suppression will be the many who will boycott the election. Many of young , the blacks , the arabs, the Hispanics , the anti war - the base of the Democrats , will sit this one out rather than vote for Biden or trump.

We’ll see. Don’t count your chickens until they hatch!

So you think Americans should roll over, ignore elections and governance, they shouldn’t get involved because the fight is too tough and the oligarchs are too mighty. So let the bottomless cynicism reign.

Z, you seem to be rooting for us to allow totalitarians to take control for all branches of our government.  
Yeah, baby that’s some plan, the oligarch love you for it.

The Z does realize that’s been a problem for 50 years. The youth vote tanked with Nixon and is just barely recovering now. Black and Hispanics have also been a challenge for a long time, and they don’t all vote the same.

F off.

I don’t fight for you???

You haven’t shown the slightest hint of depth or character, no sense of Fair-Play, no sense of what an honest constructive debate is about, but I’m supposed to follow you?

You’ve displayed nothing but aggressive cynicism and you got the nerve to think I should fight for _you_?

You have yet to offer anything to fight for, crying over spilled milk in melodramatic tones,?  
Rather then incisively attempting to understand why the milk spilled in the first place, ain’t worth fighting for.

Besides, your cynical superficiality, there is your lack of good-faith substance. What would there be to fight for? Creating sketchy scapegoats?

_Oh and incidentally where have you been to help with my efforts?_

I can’t imagine what problem you have with that very basic, non-partisan article, but what dirty tricks? Gerrymandering is 100% legal and it happens all the time.

The DNC is just doing it on the largest scale ever seen. They even admit it. It’s as simple as that.
