The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.
The Trump administration declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms, blocking monitors from the regional security group for the first time in more than two decades.
Their absence comes as Democrats and election integrity experts have raised concerns about potential election meddling after the Department of Justice announced plans to send its own monitors.
Washington joins only Russia and Belarus in its decision to exclude OSCE observers.
The OSCE called the U.S. decision “regrettable” and Human Rights Watch said the move “fuels fears of serious human rights concerns around the upcoming elections.”
it’s true what they say americans can’t read for shit. let’s break it down for you, i literally typed out; “anything” “exercise your right to protest” “riot” “any-fucking-thing” 4 fucking things and you ask “do what?”. fucking pathetic. fucking read.
“absolutely no power except the vote” you barely even have that since the fucking republican party has rigged your past 3 elections! and are gearing up for another one. and are actively trying to change the rules of who can actually cote. yet here you are bitching about not being able to do anything on the internet.
you think protesting doesn’t work, yet the literal world protests all the time and gets shit done. your defeatist mentality is right wing propaganda. if protesting doesn’t work, then what’s the next step genius? that’s right riots. france knows this shit, yet americans try and make fun of them being cowardly. your grant grandparents went off to WAR (that’s world war 2 for you slow americans) to fight the far right, and you’re here complaining about fucking going to work while the far right do the exact same shit in your own country.
you want change? you gotta force it! the one thing these fucking republicans know is money. how do you fight that? you shut the fucking city down. the state down. the country down. no one goes to work. no one buys shit. you get out off your ass and into the streets. you shut the fucking roads down. you block infrastructure down. you make the fuckers afraid of you. and as we saw on Jan 6th those fuckers in the government are afraid of large groups of people, even if those people are on their own fucking side.
oh well grampa has to be alone for a couple of hours, let them watch tv. or better yet you and your SO take fucking shifts. one of you are out in the streets rioting about this bullshit, the other stays home. after x hours you funking switch. it’s literally not that fucking hard of a concept to understand. you fucking have 2 jobs that are shift work. you clearly understand fucking how shifts work.
greatest country in the world my fucking ass. “free country” my other fucking ass. in the words of Colonel Walter Hitchcock: “Freedom isn’t free. It costs folks like you and me. And if we don’t all chip in, We’ll never pay that bill. Freedom isn’t free No, there’s a hefty fuckin’ fee. And if you don’t throw in your buck o’ five. Who will?”
the silent generation gave up their lives in world war 2, so this shit didn’t come to america, and you can’t even get off your ass to stop it this time.
