[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;51136552]No one gives a shit what you will accept, Trump. Also telling people to go watch polling places is a little scary. It sounds like a disguised endorsement of voter intimidation.[/QUOTE]It's more about protecting other Trump voters. The campaign currently has tons of people heading to the voting stations to monitor and make sure people are not destroying votes because they do not like who they voted for. Another thing is preventing what happened in the last few races with armed-groups intimidating republican voters.
is he going to go on a kim jong tier mental ego trip if he doesn't get president

Because it sounds more so that Trump's observer organisation will be the intimidating ones during the election...

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;51137285]destroying votes because they do not like who they voted for. [/QUOTE] How would this work? How do you identify Republican voters? Would you be targeting white men, or something? Because that's a massive demographic.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;51137319][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party_voter_intimidation_case]This happened in 2008[/url].[/QUOTE] What these few members did is going to pale in comparison to what Trump supporters will do if Trump keeps up this rhetoric.
[QUOTE=Bynine;51136585]i can't wait until after the election where this ignoramus fades out of the headlines and i don't have to see him every other article[/QUOTE] But what if he wins? The Hillary email thing isn't over and they're grilling Comey on the daily about that shit pretty hardcore. It's possible the DNC picks another person (Sanders please) and gives her the boot. I don't think there's anything that says they can't

It is too late to change it.

[QUOTE=phaedon;51136586]His voters do. And if close to half the country thinks that the elections are rigged in some way because of him, then Trump is directly threatening American democracy.[/QUOTE] On that note it's closer to 1/8th or 6th of the country, even less extremists, not half
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;51137319][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party_voter_intimidation_case]This happened in 2008[/url].[/QUOTE] From the way you worded it it sounded like some huge case that affected the election dramatically. This doesn't justify Trump's rhetoric at all - he's currently a much bigger danger to democracy than whatever craziness some extreme left-wingers will do.
[QUOTE=Fourier;51136605]Looks like everyone here forgot what happened with Bernie Sanders[/QUOTE] Sanders lost the vote, that's not where the corruption was.
I just Fucking hate this Year I just fucking do

Real convincing.
[QUOTE=nox;51137837]I love how the 2nd vid is a guy committing a misdemeanor by provoking a crowd.

[editline]1st October 2016[/editline] Like, what? It's a misdemeanor to enter a crowd wearing a hat?
[QUOTE]“We’re going to have to see. We’re going to see what happens. We’re going to have to see.”[/QUOTE] This on its own doesn't come off as very threatening. I'm curious what question NYT asked to provoke this response, but it doesn't appear they have a transcript of the interview. More outlets should really do that.

I dont defend the crowds actions, but I also dont agree that its right to incite a crowd of grieving people with the clear intent of provoking.
[QUOTE=Limed00d;51136765]We heard you the first time.[/QUOTE] As a British person that sentiment pretty much sets me into a fit of primal rage. :hairpull:
