Are you suggesting, without proof, that you'd be instructed to turn it inside out? It's not a candidate, so it would be fine. Same with the Gadsden flag.

MAGA? No, because it's a campaign slogan.

Damn it, I saw your post and thought it was the end of the thread and spent 30 seconds hitting the refresh button then the return to board button.

Blue lives matter types aren't litigious.

Yes.

There is only one side that has a socially acceptable viewpoint and it's the viewpoint that supports causes like BLM. This isn't a controversial statement unless you're being willfully ignorant.

I'm glad the OT agrees that BLM is entirely political and therefore, all BLM threads should be moved to the PT from now on

But in this case, the policy wouldn’t have applied because Black Lives Matter is not political.


They literally funneled money to the Democrats through actblue.org

this is the Tennessee code

quote:

Within the appropriate boundary as established in subsection (a), and the building in which the polling place is located, the display of campaign posters, signs or other campaign materials, distribution of campaign materials, and solicitation of votes for or against any person, political party, or position on a question are prohibited. No campaign posters, signs or other campaign literature may be displayed on or in any building in which a polling place is located.


I don't think BLM attire fits within that statute, do you?

You can always tell who is in control simply by finding out who you can't criticize.

For an organization that is oppressed, this is beyond hilarious.

It’s standard protocol for poll workers to ask someone wearing a shirt with the name of a political candidate

So which is it?


Based on your post, the worker should be fired because while BLM is political, BLM is not a political candidate.
