You're correct in the second half though. It doesn't take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.

C'mon now. Don't do that. Be better than that.

What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.

The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.

It sucks, but thats what happened. You can't just call fraud because you don't like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.

He won the popular vote, you can't blame that on gerrymandering.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah you can. Lots of people chose not to vote because they knew their votes were too gerrymandered to matter.

It doesn't take brains to steal but you have to be a special kind of stupid to re elect Trump after his extraordinary failure of 2016-2020.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok.......do you NOT see this country as a special kind of stupid?

[–] Blue_Morpho 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I claim the US is stupid for re electing a known failure.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh. Yeah, no you nailed it then. I just misinterpreted your tone. I thought you were argueing.

Replying to posts is almost always a rebuttal so it's a common problem.
