Why is it that woke liberal Democrats need to march to show off something - all being virtue signalling.

VOTE TRUMP and save The Republic !!

I certainly wouldn't join in any sort of walk

Not my thing 

 

But there are all types of voting drives, by both parties 

 

And a lot of Americans outside of America don't vote

This is a way to highlight that they can and should

 

No different than any other vote drive

Republicans Overseas are coming as well.

And while I'm not a Democrat, I think it's a good statement.

Seriously Marc? Would not an event, such as a presentation outside the Embassy, be sufficient? Why do they have to do a public walk/march?  Given you also dislike such things, perhaps you need to reconsider what type of people you are supporting   But I can understand why they are doing it - they are desperate for as many votes as they can get. No doubt a few thousand 'extra' ballots will be mailed in??

They are walking down the street about half a block

 

And the stated goal is to remind Americans they can vote overseas 

 

That's a good initiative and they made zero statements on their voting preference

Fair enough - you dont have to bite

“It allows Americans wherever they are in the world to vote in our national election. Overseas Americans being able to use their voice and exercising their right to vote is part of what makes our system special“. Er no, many countries can use their voice AND exercise their right to vote.
 

What makes your system so special is the endless discussions about vote rigging AND the storming of your centre of government by an unruly mob when they didn’t get the outcome they had anticipated. The sooner you introduce compulsory voting, the better. AND adopt voting regulations that are consistent across ALL states.

I fc*ing hate when Americans talk about how "they are so special " or "We are the greatest country in the world"

 

It's just patently absurd

 

And I'm American!

Sorry, man, but you misunderstand the nature of a federal system.

It’s okay, it’s an outdated post anyway. Not a hint of voter fraud this time around. It seems the issue has magically corrected itself. 555.
