Something that always bothers me during election time, even in leftist spaces, is the lack of any discussion of direct election tampering. In addition to voter suppression and gerrymandering and such, we know electronic voting machines are seemingly designed for the purpose of tampering, and the dem primaries were blatantly rigged with shitty apps, coin flips, and "rouding errors" that somehow all went for establishment candidates. So, are we really sure any vote totals are legit, or is it a giant psy-op whose results are tailored to produce the preferred political climate for capital?
There was absolutely some foul play involved in both of Bush Jr's election wins.
Liberals proved way back in 2000 they cared more about civility than power with how they just bowed down and accepted SCOTUS' ruling for the 2000 election. Instead of being mad at SCOTUS or the Republicans, they blamed it all on Ralph Nader and spent years whining over that.
2004 isn't talked about as much cause Kerry was such a weak candidate and ran a wet fart of a campaign.
