Even if you're black?
It's that kind of extreme left rhetoric that scares the Hispanics away.

I've been following the election on (
https://www.npr.org/) NPR. They currently have Biden leading in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. If he wins those he'll have 270 electoral votes, enough to win! Not gonna watch the polls any more today, this is a good place to end on.
Yes it is, considering Nevada said they won't announce anything further until 12PM tomorrow, and Georgia might not be settled today.
Polling locations all over the country were consolidated for COVID-19 reasons. Some concerns seemed legitimate, but I suspect COVID-19 also provided a convenient excuse to suppress the vote in some places. In my town, we normally have 3 polling locations and I've waited up to an hour to vote. Usually the longest wait is right at opening time. This year, we consolidated to one very large polling location, and there was a pretty long line there at 7AM yesterday (supposedly 2 hour wait), so I came back around closing time and it wasn't bad at all:

If I had to wait 11 hours, I might look into starting a lawsuit for disenfranchisement.

If either of those outcomes, the white supremacists will murder large numbers of people. Most likely primarily non-white people.
That's ridiculous.

White supremacists have been killing brown people for centuries.

That'd be outrageous if brown people hadn't been killing brown people for millennia.

My point is, white supremacists are not likely to go on a murderous rampage no matter what happens in the election. They're probably going to do the same shit they're doing now.
And if Trump somehow wins straight up, without involving the courts to interfere with the vote counting, I don't think you're going to see the left looting and rioting either. Protesting maybe. On the other hand, if this comes down to Pennsylvania and the judicial branch steps in to resolve it, then I wouldn't be surprised to see some trouble from the losing side. But not murdering lots of people.

What do you plan to do with nemyax, Renz?

People who vote for Trump are racist. That might not have been universally true in 2016, but after everything that's happened, if you're still voting for Trump, you're a racist. End of.
It isn't sophistry. You're being ridiculous. It's as bad as nemyax.

I never said that you had to be racist to vote for Trump. Or that you couldn't vote for Biden if you're racist. Correlation is not causation.
