A recent BBC News report cuts to the heart of the matter: Long queues to vote in the US have been celebrated by some of those who endured them as a welcome sign of enthusiasm.
Outside of Umerka, however, there was a very different take…
The scenes of US voters forced to stand for hours in line during a global pandemic have prompted a huge global reaction.
But while the rest of the world looks on in shock and horror at the images of Americans forced to endure long lines to simply cast their vote, brainwashed Americans somehow see this blatant evidence of voter suppression as something to celebrate and feel proud of.
Some voters said they wept when they discovered such a motivated electorate on the first day of early voting.
The BBC reported that many citizens who waited for as long as eleven hours to vote “welcomed the long lines with a mixture of enthusiasm and pride.”
Sad.
Some polling stations even offered freebies – including food and art – to the poor souls forced to suffer through the ordeal. In Albuquerque, New Mexico – where I live – Bernalillo County Clerk Linda Stover happily pointed out that she saw people in line “with walkers, people with canes…” waiting for over 2 hours to cast their votes…as if this were a good thing.
Outrageously long lines at polling places – sometimes stretching for several blocks – greeted voters across the country as early voting got underway this week. Clueless Americans seemed to be okay with this clear evidence of voter suppression.
But to non-retarded people living in the civilized world, evidence of America’s broken electoral system provoked mostly alarm and disgust.
BBC viewers in Canada pointed out that a nonpartisan national commission runs their elections. Canadians are pre-registered when they file their taxes and are given instructions by mail on exactly where to vote, and there are dozens of voting well-staffed voting locations.
“I’ve waited longer for a bus than I have ever waited to vote,” commented one Canadian viewer.
Respondents in Germany, Scandinavia and other European countries noted that there are numerous places to drop off ballots ahead of time and that unlike in America, most polling locations are a short walk from home.
A British man wrote: “Dear USA, I’m 58 and not once in my life have I had to queue to vote. Sort it out!”
One man in India pointed out that his country handles more ballots than any other democracy in the world. In a country with 3 times as many people and even higher levels of illiteracy than the USA, such long lines have never been seen in Indian elections.
Disgusted citizens from across the globe also pointed out that in the civilized world, voting occurs on holidays and weekends to make it even easier for people to cast their ballots.
It’s clear that The Evil Ones are using every tool at their disposal to steal the American election for the Trump crime family, even before the inevitable legal challenges begin.
Further evidence of voter suppression emerged throughout the first few days of early voting in the USA.
In Virginia, the registration portal crashed on the last day when citizens could sign up to vote. The entire Virginia voter registration system crashed on the last day to register. A federal judge had to step in and re-open voter registration in the state through the end of the week.
In California, Republicans installed dozens of unauthorized ballot drop boxes that state officials say are illegal. The debacle appeared to violate state laws and immediately injected new chaos into the frenzied 2020 election process.
In Pennsylvania, a judge denied an effort by the Republican Party to make ballot drop boxes in the commonwealth unconstitutional.
A federal judge rejected Florida’s bid to extend its own voter registration deadline.
And finally, an appeals court ruling in Texas last week upheld Governor Greg Abbott’s directive allowing only one ballot drop box location per county. The move leaves Harris County, with a population of 4.7 million mostly black and brown people, massively underserved.
The list goes on.
So while the dumbed-down American electorate celebrates the final death throes of our Republic, the rest of the world can only look on with dismay.
This is a crisis which transcends everything else that is crippling America at the moment. The fate of the free world is in our hands.
A scary thought indeed!
