    Oh boo the fucking hoo; US citizens need to get up off their ass and take responsibility. They shouldn’t need handholding to vote against fascists when they have the chance.

      In the southern states, people were getting arrested for handing out water to voters standing in 8+ hour lines that stretched multiple city blocks in 90 to 100 degree F heat (that’s almost 38 Celsius) with no shade in states where Republicans shut down voting centers in and around traditionally leftist areas mere days before the election, forcing multiple voting districts to travel by car to the single open voting center miles away in a Republican district.

      Voter suppression in this country is on a scale that most Europeans would think to put countries like Russia on.
