Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's amazing how consistent this is with fascists.
You can look back at their statements and it's true like 86% of the time--every SINGLE THING they accuse others of doing is something that they, themselves are demonstrably engaged in.
When those people post on the internet, it really should just be a long line of regular people replying 'Every accusation is a confession.'
@clonedhuman @BedSharkPal worth noting that those people have also spent their time since 2020 accusing Dems of rigging elections. Seems bizarre to me that nobody's looked into it. All the swing states when he couldn't fill a stadium? With the lowest approval rating of any president ever? With Elon paying people to send in their voter registration details? Yeah ok, let's not check anything before special elections and midterms...
The exit polls seemed to line up with the results from what I remember. But yeah I struggle to believe that these individuals of all people didn't fuck with the system.
Some people are calling for a forensic audit. And no, it's not getting much press at all.

Wisconsin completed an audit recently and published the results: no errors.

Some articles that people post about Trump drop-off votes (where they only vote for Trump) being somehow suspicious are kind of stupid. Is it really hard to believe that many of his otherwise politically-disengaged cult members vote for him and then go home? Or that Democrats were not super enthusiastic about Harris's moderate conservative campaign?
I suspect those still churning on the election results are the same that cheerfully swallowed the genocide pill and then lost.
So, yes. For some it is too hard to believe. It's the easier option than contending with that reality.
yup. Some weird numbers. https://open.substack.com/pub/smartelections/p/so-clean

It's because they completely lack empathy. The entirety of possibilities in their minds is 100% limited to things that they themselves (and MAYBE close family) have experienced first hand.
They can't help but project because they're literally not creative enough to think of any other reason to do a thing besides the reason they did it.
Truth. There's a reason why they don't have any art, don't have any music, don't have any movies worth watching. They lack all creativity, are almost completely devoid of imagination, and their frontal lobes just consume energy without doing any frontal lobe things. It's a very specific type of person who obeys like this, and they just mimic their leaders; if their leaders are shitty human beings, then they think they'll rise in the hierarchy by being shitty as well.
