      One of the more subtle things done for voter manipulation here in OK is putting the polling places in the lobbies of nursing homes.

      You have to drive and find parking. But Gertrude, class of '65, can hobble out into the lobby and vote like Focks Noos told her to, and it only takes five minutes. And there are 200+ residents right behind her doing the same thing, at every nursing home that has a polling place in it on election day.

      Education is a problem, yo. I see so many folks on this app run propaganda for the regime while simultaneously talking like they’re not about it. “Just following orders” is criminal but carrying water for an enemy ain’t too different.

      She said that she hopes for higher turnout in November with Vice President Kamala Harris facing former President Donald Trump to become the next United States president.

      Boy, do I have bad news for this nearly 2-year-old article…

      I think it has to do more with brainwashing than voter suppression. I don’t believe they managed to suppress 90% of voters.

        1. Pretty sure the margin in this vote was a little less than 90%
        2. Saying “I believe other people have been brainwashed” without even making a gesture at evidence to support your own claim seems a bit ironic

          What I meant is that vast majority of voters should support raising the minimum wage. Wealthy people that actually employ workers and pay them below proposed minimum wage should oppose it. The rest have no interest to vote against it. You would have to suppress shitload of voters to change the margins here and reject it. Hence, the majority voted against their interest.

          And please, we don’t have to proof anymore that Americans have been brainwashed. It’s been more than obvious for about a decade now.
