What's the offensive part? The song choice or his bopping to a tune he played into his microphones off of his phone?

The part where Americans are forced to pick between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

I made the mistake of following that twitter and found myself at @EyesOnQ on Twitter.


I weep for the country.

I was sure you guys took this joke too far, but nope. I went to Twitter, and he definitely tweeted this video twice.

Looks like you can just walk around them. I thought they would be blocking the doors.

I’m sure Virginia has a rule about advertising being so many feet away from the polling site like other states


Not really suppression.

It’s straight up intimidation is what it is. How long before it gets violent?
Even without that people thinking it looks bad or even too busy Fuck it I’m going home.
But it’s intimidation. No two ways about it.

If this is intimidation, what is it when there’s looting and arson?

I think they’re way off base but as long as they do it peacefully they are within their rights.

Surely you can appreciate the difference between (largely corporate) property damage and blocking voting site access during a pandemic, no? In each case, someone might *feel* intimidated, but the effect of that intimidation is not the same.

I get the difference, and I also get the difference between what is real and imagined. Intimidation requires more than presence. Peaceful protesters are intimidating in the same ways a black man is intimidating to a cop. It is quite possible harm is meant but odds are extremely in your favour you are entirely safe.
I would be very comfortable with large bubble zones created around polling stations.

It might depend on state--I think this is the law but seldom enforced.

Are electioneering laws not widespread?

We've had local campaigns ask us to put up yard signs because we're just over 100 yds from a (former) polling place.
