Statistically the chance of dying because you voted in person is almost non-existent. Same people not willing to vote in person tend to think nothing of going to the grocery store, Home Depot, etc!

And I would risk acquiring a disease in the process of carrying out my American right to vote (in person) if that is what it required.
Lol... Risk dying by voting... Man you sure do think a lot of yourself...

It's coming from Trump because he's losing.

You might be standing six feet apart when voting, but you might be standing in line for hours, behind and in front of the same people. If one can vote absentee or by mail, I’d do so.
What is "rude" is continuing to push fear and panic over something that 99.9% of people will not be affected by, or barely affected by.

Just stop it. No one but the panic cheerleaders is listening to this nonsense anymore.

As I said, you all cram yourselves into grocery stores, and restaurants, and other stores, you don't social distance, and yet you aren't on here freaking out over that. Do not even pretend that people are social distancing. They are not.

I'm out every single day doing deliveries for people. I see what is going on, every day. People are NOT social distancing at. all!

If they are standing at least 6' apart, they're not going to get anything.

You are more at risk going to the store than you are going to vote in person because people in the stores are not staying at least 6' away from each other.

Well which form of dying are we talking about here, dying from covid because you refuse to take precautions, or dying from thugs setting buildings on fire? Some of you don't have a chance in hell of performing every day activities without contorting your brains into paranoid conspiracy theory knots.

Maybe you'll vote in person and then 'thugs' will come burn the building down, cancelling out your vote, maybe one of the bugaloo boys wont be guarding well enough and someone with their CC will have a meltdown and accidentally think you're a thug trying to vote in disguise... go to the store and it's not getting burned down, then go vote and die of covid because that urge to poke yourself in the eye bare handed is irresistible!

Oh what to do what to do.... Which candidate represents The Pity Party?

Yeah, and there is a lot to vote on. After having stood a long while...
