1. Democracy: CANCELLED!

Like student debt...

[LizBeth]

2. Seriously? What a piece of shit campaign. This behavior is grossly irresponsible.

[Lulu KC]

3. This can be reported on Twitter

For giving false information about the election. I just did it, and it felt good. This is called voter suppression, Ms. Gray.

[dalton99a]

5. +1. It is voter suppression, a GOP specialty

[dalton99a]

4. She sounds like a fucking Republican

[still_one]

9. She proudly voted for Jill Stein in 2016, so that may answer your question

[beachbumbob]

31. ideologues on the left or right all sound and act the same

why I ignore all their blah blah blah

[showblue22]

6. Can you imagine if Trump said he wanted to postpone elections?

[Traym]

7. Shaun King urged old voters to stay home as well

It's a concerted effort by the Sanders camp.

[KitSileya]

28. That con artist is already running a con on Covid-19

I guess he's found a group of extremely gullible marks who don't mind being fleeced by multiple grifters and by multiple grifts. Some people never learn.

[still_one]

8. This is from Jill Stein supporter Gray. Nuff said

[Cha]

15. So they'll have a big excuse why BS lost? They told

his voters to stay home?

[ucrdem]

10. If Bernie voters stay home he'll get shellacked even worse.

You go Briahna Joy!



p.s.

[RandySF]

12. They'll vote

I picked up a burrito yesterday and the little tacquieria was packed elbow-to-elbow with millennials. They'll show up Tuesday.

[ucrdem]

16. Is there an app for that?

[NCProgressive]

43. A delicious burrito making the mouth salivate is what millennials love

Voting? Not so much

[fierywoman]

11. And then when BS loses she can scream voter suppression ???

[still_one]

13. Reading responses from the Greenwald's, Turner's, and Naomi

Kline's and others who can't accept the fact that the majority of DEMOCRATIC voters don't want Sanders

Greenwald isn't a Democrat, Brianna Joy Gray voted for Jill Stein, and Hillary hating Klein and Turner kind of speaks volumes about their bullshit, and their unwillingness to accept the will of the voters

and these folks are supposed to be progressive?

[pnwmom]

14. Before we had all mail-in ballots, my polling place was quiet all day long.

Never a line of more than half a dozen people, never a crowd. No problem with a 50 person limit. (I didn't try voting at peak times, however.)

I know that it's different in states that suppress voting, but that was my experience.

[Hekate]

17. That's totally inappropriate

[Sloumeau]

18. The advice to not gathering in large groups is for non essential gatherings.

Things like professional football games and other sporting events are nonessential. So is going to the opera, the ballet, or a show on Broadway. For me, and for a hell of a lot of other Americans, voting is *ESSENTIAL*. We fought the Revolutionary War to get it. Then we fought a Civil War so that eventually Black Americans could get it. Women protested for years and years to get it. People all around the world who cannot vote want to be able to vote. Democracy is at the very heart of who we are as Americans.

Shopping for groceries is essential to most Americans. So is buying soap, shampoo, and a whole host of other things. On Friday, my parents who are in their 80s went to Costco to buy food and it was more crowded than they had ever seen before--all registers in use and lines to the back of the store. Should they have not bought food because there was more than 50 people there?

Around the world, nations are closing bars, cafes, restaurants and theaters, but they are leaving open pharmacies and grocery stores. Why? Because some things are nonessential, and some things are essential. The way Trump has botched this coronavirus thing so far, picking the right guy to make sure Trump is gone may do more to keep people healthy than staying home on election day. I live in Arizona, so I voted by mail weeks ago. My mom who is 84 will be working 15 hours as an election supervisor here in Arizona on election day. She will be voting that day too. She watches Rachel Maddow 5 nights a week, and the NBC Nightly news every night. She reads the newspaper every day. She cannot wait to vote for Joe Biden so he can kick Trump out. To her, voting is *essential*.

The CDC likes to avoid using phrases like "This is safe" and "this is not safe". Instead, they prefer to give guidelines. But things are contradicting each other. The CDC recently said that people should stock up on supplies so that if they have to self-quarantine they can stay at home. Right after that is when the massive lines started at places like Costco because people were trying to do what the CDC said. So, we have people saying "Stock up in case you need to self-quarantine" and we have other people saying "Why is everyone panic buying? Stop hoarding! Food will be there!". It is like the left hand and does not know what the right hand is doing.

My opinion is that everyone should avoid nonessential gatherings of people as much as possible. But some things are essential to me and to a lot of people, such as buying groceries, filling your car with gasoline, and voting. Just because the CDC did not say "voting is safe" (they would never say it was or was not safe, I'm guessing) does not make it "unsafe". We all have to decide what risks to take, and if we prepare for voting, like washing our hands well, wearing gloves, and covering our faces, we can do the essentials while minimizing the risk.

Trump told Americans to come home, and they did by the thousands, and they were in airport lines today all crammed together--no social distancing. These Americans thought it was important to come home before a possible lockdown of American occurs. They thought that coming home was essential. I would think the same thing. This is not the riskiest time to be out in a large group. It will get much, much worse in 4 to 8 weeks, which is why I think two states postponing their primaries is kinda nuts. Odds are things will be much worse in two months, based on the graphs that I have seen of places like Italy.

19. +1

[nolawarlock]

20. I think she's a Communist ...

I don't even think she's a Socialist and certainly not a Democratic Socialist or a Social Democrat. She'd just love to not have elections completely. I'm just forever grateful that neither she nor Sirota or Turner will get anywhere near the White House … unless it's on a tour.

[dansolo]

29. More like an anarchist

She's a shit-stirrer.

[nolawarlock]

30. That works too! n/t

[Scurrilous]

21. Now that the debate bump has been cancelled...

[Recursion]

22. Arsonists

[herding cats]

24. Thus why they feel the Bern.

This is such a foolish move on their part.

If states don't cancel (which they won't since early voting totals implies there won't be a crush) then Sanders could easily scare his potential voters away from the polls.

This is reason #3859 why he lost.

[Recursion]

25. It's not about winning it's about making the results seem illegitimate

God this infuriates me

[herding cats]

26. Oh, I hear you in that regard.

Chipping away at any tiny vein they think they can exploit to their advantage at this point is just ridiculously an attempt to divide us.

[herding cats]

23. Ya know... this could easily backfire on Sanders.

They may just accidentally scare their voters away from the polls.

It's a real possibility here.

[Squinch]

27. What an ass.

[grantcart]

33. Yep

[NurseJackie]

32. Briahna Joy Gray is a horrible woman. She reflects poorly on her employer's judgement...

Briahna Joy Gray is a horrible woman. She reflects poorly on her employer's judgement in hiring in the first place (she's a Stein supporter) and in keeping her around after all the dreadful things she's said and written.

[MineralMan]

34. Briahna: All Biden Supporters Should Not Vote on Tuesday.

Sanders voters will be perfectly OK to vote, though. Biden supporters can vote on Wednesday, see. Social distancing.

[OnDoutside]

35. Looks like Briahna's got the Ninavirus ....

[treestar]

36. the intent to take advantage of the virus

is reprehensible.

[frazzled]

37. Precautions have been taken in my locale

Apparently, only X number of people will be allowed inside the polling place at a time, and social distancing observed. Hand sanitizer available. People will wait in line outside until spaces become available.

[honest.abe]

38. Are they trying to scare the older Biden voters to gain advantage?

If so that is incredibly devious and deceitful. They should be ashamed of such low handed and dishonest tactics.

[onetexan]

39. Seems the Sanders camp is bent on SABOTAGING this election for Biden since they can't win

IMO at this point the DNC needs to step in and force him out. This is dangerous and intolerable.

[Renew Deal]

40. Doesn't she work for Biden?

[Gothmog]

42. Symone Sanders is now working for Biden

Brie Brie is a Stein voter who works for sanders

[Gothmog]

41. Who cares about that this lady wants

I have trouble caring what a person who voted for Jill Stein thinks or wants
