Trump to supporters: 'go out and watch' on election day

[ProudModerate2]

I cant believe he actually gets away with saying things like this.
He is obviously "pushing" for his supporters to intimidate people who are trying to do one of the most important rights we have as Americans ..... vote.
He is disgusting !
I cant wait for this orange-haired clown to go down, come November.

Poll watching is a thing. It happens with every campaign. I spent five hours at the polls in 2012 before heading to the election night party.

I would never send untrained vigilante "poll watchers" to a polling place like Trump is suggested.  Any campaign that does that is going to end up with some of their most paranoid, inappropriate people showing up.  There are official programs for poll watchers for a reason.

It is far, far more likely that BLM protesters start showing up on election day and forming a human chain around polling stations in suburban white precincts. Have you not followed this election at all? Have you seen who is committing most of the political violence?
Hint, hint: young rich white kids backing Bernie.

Now, you are just being stupid and trollish. Typical for you.

You guys are aware that precincts require people to stand like a couple hundred feet away, right? Even if a hundred Trump supporters show up with signs, they'll be so far away from the doors that no reasonable person would be intimidated. And if they went over the line (usually marked with traffic cones), a police officer will be on hand to keep them back.

Again, I am far more worried that the BLM movement might pull their usual tactics of blocking critical places. They shut down a bridge in San Francisco on rush hour, they blocked Department Stores on black Friday and shoved shoppers who tried to enter anyway, and they frequently enter crowded cafes and stores to make their points. While I am on the whole supportive of the movement, lets be real here about who is more likely (if at all) to go out and cause trouble on election day.

Of course, the hysterical Clinton-klan and their conspiracy theories cannot be met with any form of logical or civil debate, but whatever, keep on making up stories if it makes you guys feel safe.

The only one "hysterical" here is you.
With you BLM bull.
Afraid they might "shake" your bus while your in it ? ..... do you need mommy to hold your hand.

I don't want to be a jerk, but I think it's a bad idea to respond with ad hominems instead of simple counterarguments, no matter how unreasonable you think he's being. 

It's part of why Presidential years here suck.  Person A thinks Person B is being unreasonable, so they just attack Person B instead of responding.  Person B (or an ally) gets mad and feels unjustly treated, so he feels justified in attacking Person A.  Then it becomes a downward spiral of people feeling entitled to be hostile instead of engaging on substance.

OK.
But anyone supporting this type of activity proposed by trump, needs to be put in their place.
This is an obvious call to discourage, intimidate and scare people from voting .... yes voting ! Can you believe that !
A right every citizen has. The poll workers and the people who supervise the ballots, will handle any "issues" that might be "questionable". We don't need mobs forming at polling places .... especially "ordinary" trump folk, who will have near zero idea what to even say or do in such a situation. They probably don't even know what the square root of 9 is.
I have no .... none ..... zero tolerance for this "dog whistle" call by the orange-haired clown.
Everyday I think that trump cant possibly be less human, but yet to my surprise, it keep happening !
Disgusting filth.

Your the one who is actually afraid that Trump supporters will spoil the election by attacking Clinton voters, even though the only people who have any history of doing such things are Bernie bots and a handful of BLM protesters. This country doesn't really have any tradition of political violence. Are you going to argue that point or are you just going to ignore Alcon's advice?

I never said or used the word "attack."
Get your facts straight.

I'm not sure calling someone stupid and making a "mommy" joke really makes them feel "put in their place" in any meaningful way.

Maybe this is me, but stuff like calling him "inhuman" and "disgusting filth" seems pretty ineffective to me too...it mostly makes me think of people taking up pitchforks to ritually murder people for moral impurity, or whatever.

If you are think "that" (taking up pitchforks, etc) ... then you are thinking "strangely."
I think "its just you."
No one is saying this .... at least I'm not.

PS: You don't know this elitist R-avatar from Florida very well. He has come on here drunk, and said some very strange things. A number of people commented and witnessed this. He sent me various personal internal Atlas messages on that night, and acted like an idiot.
He even manipulated and created quotes of things I supposedly said, and posted them on this forum. So he created comments out of thin air, put my name on them, and posted them.
This is an obvious abuse of our forum, and someone who can not be trusted.
I have a right to be pissed at him, and to treat him like the dirt he is.
Don't defend him.

Even if he beats seals as a hobby, I think it's more productive to address his argument on merit than to derail threads into personal attack exchanges.  Hell, even if you personally attack him, there's nothing stopping you from also addressing his argument.

I can care less if he wants to beat seals.
Beating seals wont affect how this nation and our world will run for the next four years.
If only people in Germany "spoke up" with more disgust and anger, maybe just maybe, there would not have been 60 million people who were suddenly vaporized of life in WWII.
This orange-haired clown is a dangerous possibility .... don't discount it.
