Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That's the whole point of their independent state legislature theory. They argue that the state legislature can simply declare their own election results if they don't like the voters' results and that nobody, not the executive nor the courts, can challenge them. They are literally arguing that we should dismantle democracy altogether and somehow people are still "bOtH sIdEs"-ing.

The point of The Great American Experiment was to use votes rather than bullets to select a leader.
