  1. It's only the GOP crazy Trumpers and insurrectionists, like the attack on Pelosi, meant for her, not her husband. Same thing with threats to MI's governor, these killers should be put down like rabid animals.

  2. Okay I listen to all that I just want to know what it is that's keeping you from voting

  3. Democrat Inflationary Policies have not just hurt people here in US, but everywhere, places where they have No food stamps, No WIC, No unemployment, No help of any kind. It's cruel

  4. In order to get attention and support, Republicans and Fox news are promoting hate, violence, fear, etc

    They emphasis us against them, good against evil, dividing America.. misinforming American people.

  5. I call BS. This is fake. If there's violence, they will start it with their pet anitfa protestors dressed as MAGA again. They can't let the red wave succeed.

  6. BS, lies and propaganda ……. NOT one issue at polls.

  7. This used to be a helluva Great Country. But it's gone and it ain't coming back

  8. All brought on by one fat orange Nazi, get rid of that one orange piece of trash and all will be much better. And stop the repubs orange fascists zombie brigade!

  9. We need to tell those hillbilly republicans to meet us on some piece of property and bring their hillbilly guns that they are so anxious to use. And we can bring the US army, miliary etc and see who wins.

  10. When the police pulled up to Paul pelosi him and the gentleman were both standing there in their underwear they kind of leave that part out and the first words out of pelosi's mouth were he's a friend my guess is he's the same guy that jumped out of place car and ran when they arrested pelosi for DUI last month here we go with the Democrats making up s*** again isn't it special how the news always gives you the truth LOL that would be the day

  11. Democrats know that they are losing but will blame Republicans ahead of time. Democrats are election deniers.

  12. Fake news just take your ID and go to the voting booth you'll be just fine

  13. I wish Woke Liberal Democrats would stop being so violent and respect the LAWS and Property of Others…

  14. Nonsense. The only threat that's growing is that NBC/MSNBC/Democrats are going to lose.

  15. We hope those republicans don't cheat again. Blue wave coming. Just kidding.

  16. THE COWARDLY CHUMP SUPPORTERS ATTACK WHEN THEY GREATLY OUTNUMBER OTHERS AND WHEN SOMEONE IS ELDERLY

    WEAK COWARDS

    SAVE AMERICA FROM CHUMP

    CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸

  17. So, one side is 100% down with cheating in every way, violence of any kind, and the other side is hoping things go OK. This will go well.

  18. This is what America has become? We were civil before. No violence or hounding at the behest of politicians. Oust everyone, no matter the party, that instigates, allows or condones that such actions occur. Let's get back to being civil.

  19. it's gonna get worse before it gets better. brace for this winter to get pretty crazy

  20. All irregularities need to be investigated instead of swept under the carpet.

  21. In the 60's and 70's it was the hippies ready for revolution and now it's crazy republicans. what a trip.

  22. Democrats are wet blankets.
