do you know what 'nuance' means?

he's currently being sued for violating election laws, which is an attack on democracy

The working conditions and complaints of canvassers about their pay or benefits or quotas has absolutely no relevance to a thread about attacks on democracy. If a Palestinian aligned terrorist is torching ballots, thats an attack. If a teachers union demands an extra day off the school year, thats not.

You posted a link about door knockers saying their engagement rate targets are too high and benefits too strict. I posted about ballots being torched and voters being disenfranchised. Get the difference?

the 'door knockers' are part of a possibly illegal scheme which is considered an attack on democracy. their complaints about how they are being treated is just as relevant as the fact that what they are doing is most likely illegal. get it now?



heres another one

No, they aren't, they are literally just get-out-the-vote canvassers. Not only is it legal, its so mundane that its contracted out to firms that freelance it. Did you even read the article you linked? Do you have any clue what two, different stories you are conflating?
Its an accusation of 'poor working conditions' at canvassers getting out a vote.
Whats next, did you see the word "insurrection" in your alphabet soup and you want to post an oversized jpeg of it in this thread too?
Its a pretty simple premise, we're talking about actual attempts to subvert the vote, not the room and board costs of contractors doing door knocking.

I didnt think i'd be adding "attack on democracy" to buzzphrases that i can use to discount people's opinions. 2024 is wild.

Sure lets do it your way

https://www.startribune.com/ap-sources-white-house-altered-record-of-bidens-garbage-remarks-despite-stenographer-concerns/601172965

The president of the united states has just attempted to subvert our elections and interfere with official documents in violation of the presidential records act of 1978, in the worst attack on our democracy since pearl harbor. This unconscionable attempt to poison the well of our discourse and spread misinformation to the american public in the final week of an election was made manifest in the white house's breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity as Joe Biden himself conferred with top officials and had them retroactively add an apostrophe to his word "supporters" during his speech earlier this week.

Forget mobs storming the capitol to stop vote tallying, forget ballots being torched or that time when the Japanese Americans were technically allowed to vote but were interned in camps and their ballots discarded
This is the worst attack on democracy in our lifetimes, the supporters reporter's apostrophe atrocity.

imagine

The people who have penetrated a nation's democratic process infesting it with corruption and have figured out how to game the system to either skirt legality or simply be immune to legal consequences, would also think to be hyper vigilant about their opponents seeing that cheating works and considering maybe they should do the same, and wield the very same corrupt apparatus to throw the book at anyone who even has a passing intuition to give the process a healthy side eye. Imagine.

TL;DR takes one to know one

Democrats have a history of fucking with the vote.
From using the KKK to the pandering to black people.
No surprise here with their dirty tactics.
