    Did that single voting machine cause Harris to lose all seven swing states?

      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

      I'm okay with this one though. This one is funny and potentially productive.

      The lib brain literally cannot cope with this having happened. Like, there is no lib solution to this problem. Stay tuned!

    Not even on the actual shit.

    The Dems should demand everyone who took part in musks vote buying should have their ballots tossed out. And put musk in jail.

    They won’t do that.

    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

      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.

        Funniest outcome tbh. reps doing mass voter fraud but it turns out it literally did not matter because of how hard the Dems ate shit

      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.

    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.

      Yeah I’ve got a friend leaning into this shit, I think they were just so convinced Trump was going to lose they can’t process the results.

      The insufferable "wonk" libs already turned on it because they stopped supporting Ukraine.

    access to connectivity was improved

    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.

      It's not strange if you imagine a scenario in which they would want to manipulate something, but have so far chosen not to.

      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.

    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.
