I'm still not counting out the possibility that Trump will still claim there was massive fraud and that he should have won bigglier.
One of the first acts of the 2017 campaign was to pursue "election fraud" on the heels of a GOP sweep. Republicans understand the value of a vote in a way Democrats simply don't. They work hard to stack the deck in their favor, which is why voter suppression is the goal of virtually every state GOP governor/legislature.
Meanwhile, Dems simply don't seem to care. They don't repeal gerrymanders. They don't amend the VOA. They don't expand mail in voting. They don't implement DC statehood.
We get an earful about needing to win The Blue Wall States and take the Senate, but where was Biden's DOJ for the last four years? Where was the DHS or the FBI, investigating corrupt municipalities and voter suppression scenes schemes? Where was the SEC and the FEC and his army of USAs chasing down corrupt public-private partnerships? Money from the Saudis, from the Israelis, nevermind the Russians, flowed freely into the election.
Biden's admin spent billions on fights overseas, while giving up the home front right under his nose.
indeed. the supreme Court said the president can do whatever the fuck they want, and instead of codifying roe v Wade, purging the supreme court, doing away with gerrymandering, or really anything helpful, the dnc decided a better option would be to hold it over everyone's heads and then blame voters when no one is motivated to do shit about it.
Blame voters who went above and beyond to try to get their Selina Myers knock off into the Oval Office for not doing their job for them.
66M people voted for Harris, but we're going to get an earful about how nobody really tried, nobody really turned out, nobody really wanted her to win. It's always everybody's fault except the candidate's for their own failure.
I mean, in Michigan they did, at least as far as Michigan has the power to do so. It amounted to fuck all.
So while it's all well and good to continuously look for a way to blame the outcome on one abstract institution or another, at some point you have to just say "fuck the voters who voted for a fascist, and fuck the ones who didn't vote against him".
That would be because liberals fundamentally do not believe it can happen here.
Nope, fake news, y’all cheated. That’s the only thing you should hear for the next 4 years. Your a pussy and a liar and voted for a child rapist.
Don’t discount that ‘election fraud’ scares will be what he uses to dismantle the free and fair election in 2028.
Just like he did the first time he won.
This time it will be used to justify making himself a dictator.
As long as he wins the popular vote he might actually not say anything. We'll see in a few days I guess.
