The call, an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of the president’s voice, says, “Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again.”

A prominent New Hampshire Democrat plans to file a complaint with the state attorney general over an apparent robocall that appears to encourage supporters of President Joe Biden not to vote in Tuesday’s presidential primary.

The voice in the message is familiar — even presidential — as it’s an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of Biden’s voice.

“What a bunch of malarkey,” the voice message begins, echoing a favorite term Biden has uttered before.

    Don’t try and act like one side isn’t a bunch of malicious, anti-democratic grifters. Democrats refuse to stand up to their dirty tricks and we continue to be buried in the feces Republicans are shoveling.

      If I reverse the political parties, you sound just like a right-wing MAGA extremist on Gab. Dial down your bigotry and remember that you’re in a country of diverse viewpoints and political beliefs. And that we ostensibly believe in democracy.

        The word ostensibly is exactly the problem here. It means “portrayed as, but not actually.”

        So yes, the exact problem is that one party ostensibly believes in democracy.

        This isn’t conservatives vs progressive policies anymore. Until the GOP guts the MAGA rot from their ranks, they have lost all respect for democracy.
