This shit is honestly terrifying and makes me believe that the media is actually trying to create a civil war. For months they have been advocating for mail-in voting, but we can already see how awful it will turn out. New York's primary was on June 23rd and they still don't know who won. Ballots are being lost, mailed late, or not even arriving.

This is the perfect setup because it doesn't matter who actually wins neither side will believe it. I feel like I am once again watching the wreck in slow motion, like I did in Jan-Feb when coronavirus was just starting to spread.

We can't let these awful articles pit us against each other. If the gov't will put a double standard on protests, then fuck it, go out and vote in person. This is the only thing we can do to prevent the civil war the media is so thirsty to get.

They are preparing the public for their mail-in-voter fraud coup. They are hiding in plain sight, telling people what is going to happen before they do it.

That's exactly it! They don't even care who actually wins the vote, because it will work either way. We are months away from this. What can be done about this?

Individually? Get involved. Become an Election Judge. Ensure that there's someone in the room besides an 85 year old who may not fully understand modern voting methods and rules, and an [insert any party here] zealot who may care more about maintaining partisan power than rigorously upholding election law. Also, write or call your local officials and representatives, personally if possible, and let them know, loud and clear, that you do not support grey area issues like vote harvesting or mail-in voting for major elections, and that having the support of you and your peers depends on them not supporting it either.

Culturally, help fight off the divided mentality we seem to have been stuck in for literally over a generation now. It's really not an "us" verses "them" country, no matter how much politics insist upon the contrary; we all just want to work, do well by our friends and neighbors, and provide for our families. Maybe even make the country/planet/etc a little bit better as we do so. "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", right? Of course we have vastly different ideas on how to do those things. We're different people. But they're still the same basic goals. You want to take away those article's power to pit us against each other over it? Let it go and move on. Tell others to do the same. Yes, there are exceptions and extremists and griefers, and there will continue to be, but we have to stop treating them like they're the norm, and not us.
