About the only thing the US is superior in is conventional firepower. Even Russia who doesn't even have the national economic output of Italy has you beat on nuclear.
It is inexcusable. There is no reason why it need to take longer than a few minutes, even in a metropolis. If you can think of a good excuse let me know.
You keep saying "In spite of medical experts", as if it represents something. There's thousands of medical experts actively calling for congress to keep going with mail in voting.
If you don't consider Fauci and Birx the proper authorities on this issue, whom should we listen to about this subject that has better clout?

The only thing I've see in this forum pretty much day in and day out is a bunch of foreigners claiming how much America sucks and how racist we are, and us Americans defending against that.

I'm not a foreigner. America sucks for way, way too many of its citizens and much of America is very, very racist. So you can drop your xenophobic rejoinder.

Stop being a liberal wuss who sees racism and xenophobia where none exists.Last edited by LiconaFan97; 10-13-2020, 12:13 AM.

I believe you truly don't see what's problematic in your reply to Leonhard. As to whether racism exists or not, today in Georgia predominantly black areas saw very long wait times to vote, even reaching 12 hours for some voters! Predominantly white areas saw dramatically shorter wait times on the order of minutes. That turnout was going to be very large today was known ahead of time. Why should black voters have to jump through unduly burdensome hoops to exercise the same right as white voters? Government incompetence doesn't explain it since that incompetence would have been very unevenly distributed.

Well, I have my doubts about your claim of the racial disparity because I no longer believe a word a leftist says in regards to racism since they incessantly exaggerate or just lie about it. But, yeah, the wait times are a problem, and I don't know why it can't be fixed. It would be interesting to do a study and see which politically run municipalities it's worse in. Being that a lot of democratically run cities and states are absolute hellholes, that's where I'd put my money.

Misleading voters is wrong no matter who does it, Republican or Democrat. And I think so is ballot harvesting. California is one of the states that allows ballot harvesting. Apparently you can go door to door and collect other people's ballots, you just can't use a ballot drop off box to do it.
I think both methods are wrong and ripe for fraud.

And when I've voted in person (now I vote by mail) I never had too onerous a wait time here in California.
The wait times are by design to suppress the vote. That's why the number of polling sites has been massively decreased in many red states after the SC threw out the Voting Rights Act.
