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!

.... there's an argument to be made that....maybe they didn't vote that way.
There's some serious irregularities in the way votes are appearing in key battleground states. The number of bullet votes is insanely off (historically 0.1%, but somehow 7% in BG states), a historical amount of people voting blue down ballot but then voted Trump, the number of bomb threats called into ballot counting areas in BG states, and how all of the irregularities are only being found in BG states.
It makes you step back and say.... something weird is going on here.
Our elections are some of the most secure in the world. It looks a shocking number of people went to the ballot box and just voted Trump, and not straight ticket or any down ballot race.
In Michigan the two Democrat Supreme Court justices win by almost a million votes. Almost everyone who voted for Harris, voted for them. But 1.1 million people voted for Trump and no Justice at all.
Which honestly feels like a very Trumpist thing to do. They are not Republicans. They are only Trump voters.
I just have a hard time believing anyone could flip votes or inject fraudulent votes into the system en mass. It requires too many people involved to stay quiet.
The GOP absolutely cheated like they do every single election though. Gerrymandering districts, purging voter rolls, disinformation/misinformation campaigns, intimidation, eliminating ballot boxes, etc were all used to help them win again. The GOP could not win elections and hold power without those tools.
Nothing shocks me anymore. Yes, it's not an easy task but millions of his followers are convinced 2020 was a stolen election and pretty much every voting/election scheme since then has been by Republicans. At this point I say fuck it, if the Orange One gets a recount we should too (pretty sure Georgia was recounted 3 times). If the numbers come out the same we'll be just as fucked and probably look just as foolish as we did before.
