People who only see one side of it are probably getting their media from one sided sources or only want to see one side of it. It's very politically naive. If Clinton would do it to Bernie, she'd do it to Trump too but you won't hear about that if you only get one side of the story.
Apples and oranges. Your link is coming up 404 not found, but yes in 2006 a Milwaukee congresswomans son and pals slashed the tires of Republican get out the vote vehicles. Nasty. Illegal. And duly punished as the crime that it was. But, it's a single incident, was not government action. I'm failing to see the comparison to voter purges and police road blocks. It wasn't suppressed eithe. Even liberal old NPR reported it.
As to Clinton making false representactions about the polls Trump does the same, and more often since the polls are against him. So this allows one of them to rig the election how?
You made your font really large, so what you said must be true. I mean I gave you an example of large scale voter suppression then you changed the goalposts so I needed to show physically impeding voters. I did that, and now you say it doesn't count because it's not exactly the same. You admit that Clinton used voter suppression against Bernie Sanders, but somehow don't think she is capable or would against Trump?? I mean, obviously you cannot be convinced and aren't even offering any evidence of your own, so I don't really see the point of this conversation.

You haven't made any points that deserve a legitimate critique. We're talking about the systemic suppression of minorities' voting rights, and the best you can come up with is "but, but, but black people can be racist too!" So fucking what? Of course black people can be racist, but the fact that you'd rather focus on one insignificant fraction of the black population as opposed to your own government trying to make it harder for certain people to vote in order to stack the voting booth shows that you're the one trying to sidestep.
Of course, we all know that you would be pissing and moaning that the world was coming to an end if this was Democrats trying to stack the votes in their favor, but since it's your own guys doing it, we get a bunch of irrelevant deflection and tu quoques. And after that and strawmanning the shit out of the arguments being made you have the balls to complain that people are sidestepping the points you're making...

To be fair, Clinton has much more sway with the DNC and the Democrat party than she has with the general electorate. Be specific: how might she, not holding any office at all, wield the power to suppress Republican votes? Exactly what do you fear she might do?
I'm not saying she's above that sort of thing -- she's obviously not. But how does she wield the power to channel Republican voters away from polling booths come November?

Nothing scares Adolf and the rest of his ilk like the sight of an angry black man. Probably wets his fucking pants and runs the other way.

It was a topic drift from the OP. It was fair. You, goofy fucks, were the ones who drifted off topic to talk about the so-called systematic suppression of minorities' voting rights, which I think is mostly bogus, a claim made by your side. You left wing fucks don't want to hear anything else but your side of an issue. That's why you shit heads try to attack and shut down anyone who disagrees with you.
Yeah, you Democrats are definitely trying to stack the votes in your favor. Our guys, are trying to prevent the attempt at voting fraud that you guys, are trying to create. Your side is crooked.

Even Trump doesn't come close to Hillary and the DNC when it comes to lying and crookedness.

You genuinely think Hilary is worse than Trump?
