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.

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!

Okay? Then fuck off with your clickbait fearmongering bullshit? Either there is evidence of ratfuckery, and investigations should already be underway, or there's not and they don't need to be.
Trump is literally building camps for out groups and disassembling the entire trade system that the US and its closest allies have depended on. We don't have time for this speculative "maybe" garbage. Get out there and do something, or stop wasting my time with speculation in the hopes that punchy headlines and ad engagement will save you for Der Fuhrer's concentration camps and total economic collapse.
Look, we all know that Republicans are all about projection, if nothing else.
Trump has been singularly focused on election fraud for 5 years now, and has been essentially bragging about stealing the election with Musk since before the actual election. I full well believe there is a path to being able to ballot stuff with enough preparation in the way they seem to be insinuating, and they had enough psycho followers to pull it off. You don't need to hack the machines, and you don't need to destroy votes. You simply need a LOT of voter information, and time to prepare. Musk had both. There was also that bit of election fraud perpetrated by Trump's team where they stole election equipment and hardware keys in 2020, so they've had time to work that angle as well.
I'm not saying there is proof, but between the discrepancies in data coming out, the shenanigans on voting day from Trump supporters, and the...type...of person who would have been involved in such a thing, it's well within the realm of possibility. No reason to not bring it up if there are concerns.
If it did happen, these types of people will have left a trail and some loose ends. My specific concern here is that the GOP is so god damned transparent, that if they did pull this off, they will fight to keep election equipment the same as last election, and it will happen again and again until it's found out...if it did happen.
There are multiple independent investigations you can go review them yourself. They’re going to do the data for each state.
If what they’re saying holds out true it’ll continue to spread
Exactly. Same as with Trump's rigged election claims: show us the evidence or fuck all the way off with your conspiratorial fantasies. We have very real urgent issues to focus on before we entertain "curiosities".
Or there are persistent irregularities that stink of ratfuckery but ratfuckers have seized control of the government, so we no longer have any hope of an honest investigation.
Pointing out how likely it is that they did steal the election (it's always projection) is still a valuable way to undermine the legitimacy of the russian backed fascist regime in the US.
