Ridiculous that these machines are connected to the internet at all. Or that there are machines involved in this process in the first place. USA is such a funny little country.
edit, nevermind, it isn't the voting machines directly connected to the net: https://xcancel.com/jennycohn1/status/1855679445212029200
gonna leave my smarmy comment as is though. electronic voting machines just for the sake of it has been a shit decision since they were first introduced and it's very strange to me that the process hasn't reverted to purely paper ballots at some point since then.
I'm pretty sure thats what they're doing, not because we constantly caught them like twice a day for the month leading up to the election, but because they're so god damn loud accusing everyone else of it.
I'd also believe they won fair or by the rigged-but-agreed rules, and kept cheating anyway. Kinda hoping that's what happened, and also the dems push it.
Why would the dems push it? Dems are in the best position ever now, they can scream and cry and writhe in donations from the responses.
By the way, are you still supporting the "other comrades" of the provisional government of Russia and saying that the crushing of the CIA color revolution of Hungary was a bad thing? Sorry to ask. You said not the time, wondering if "it's the time" now since I caught ya here.
Doubly embarrassing because we know exactly what they would do if they legitimately should question an election’s results, because we saw it 24 years ago. Roll over
Trump dies during a lib Jan 6th and a civil war breaks out is on someone's parlay somewhere out there as a 1:1,000,000 payout and they put $10,000 on it.
True hallmark of a failstate is when the ruling parties waste everyone's time and resources, investigating and litigating each other instead of improving people's lives
tbh its hardly unthinkable that the republicans would do mass voter fraud, like i haven't seen any proper evidence that they did but its not unbelievable
Oh there's a lot of fraud going on, it's just not the conspiratorial and crazy type. It's just having few voting places, long lines, doing it on a weekday with no provisions for people to leave work to vote, closing pools early, gerrymandering and so on. You know, the legal and boring kind.
Even if they did, the election was not remotely close. To suggest that such a relatively huge portion of the vote is fake (if you are thereby contesting the results) seems silly.
I have lib friends who believe that stuff. It's hard to know what to say in response because like it's obviously not true but I guess it's how they're coping. Fortunately I'm not the only one in the group pushing back on it.
Kamala Harris is so not worth doing a conspiracy theory over.
Why didn't they rig the house and Senate races too? Who cares if its "to obvious" of they had 100% Republicans in congress, who's going to investigate them? Themselves?
The clear answer is that enough dems showed up to the polls to vote down ballot but not for kamala. They either left it blank or voted 3rd party.
You're right, but the real answer is they didn't rig the senate races because the libs aren't emotionally invested in the senate races, so it's not as compelling as a story.
Mirroring behavior's become a lot more common lately, sometimes in a naked tit-for-tat fashion. I was ahead of the curve.
Regrettably, though, mere imitation will never succeed - As the dems fail by chasing right wing policy and discarded neocons, so too will the directionless adoption of belligerence for belligerence's sake. Shit, that's how I ended up here.
Why would they fly votes in from China? Is bamboo even used in making modern paper?
Do they think the Chinese agents stuffing the ballots secrete bamboo or something?
Democrats say half the country is racist and misogynist. Republicans say Democrats are trying to force “woke DEI” on them
Democrats then proceed to run a black or Indian woman who lost her first primary and didn’t even have one this time on a platform of “If you don’t vote for me you’re a nazi”
How the fuck did they think they would win a national election? Why would you choose a candidate you know half of people won’t vote for?

First, I legit believe that Biden chose Harris as his VP as a pure accident. Biden had made a claim he was going to put a black woman on the Supreme Court, but when asked about his VP, he said something to the effect of "Yeah that too." Since there weren't exactly a lot of national level black women Democrats to choose from, he was basically stuck with Harris.
Then they were stuck with Harris running for President because of something about how campaign finance laws are worded. Or something about how advertising on TV and billboards work. Kamala's name was already registered on all the forms. I believe the deadline for even registering to run for president had passed them by as well.
I truly believe the Democrats didn't want to run her at all, but were stuck because Biden has a massive ego. By extension it's Obama's fault as well for manipulating the 2020 Democratic primaries to get Biden the nomination. Thanks Obama.
Brace on trueanon mentioned something about Biden only agreeing to step down if Kamala couldn't bad mouth him. This would go with his ego and probably doomed her from the start.
