    I don’t think the last elections were rigged outside of propoganda but it does knock me over the elected officials who seem to be working toward the midterms when its pretty obvious to me the administrations plan is for midterms to not happen in any meaningful way. Either not happening or really rigged.

      They were rigged in all the same ways the Republicans have been trying to rig them for years. They intimidated voters, they closed polling locations, they purged voter rolls, etc. You don’t have to fake the votes if you can stop them from being cast in the first place.

        A felon can run for president, and it makes sense why the US allows it.

        Someone who engaged in sedetion/insurrection is not allowed to hold office … and THAT is where the US legal system’s corruption failed us all.

        To clarify, I believe you mean that it is unconstitutional for someone who foments insurrection to be elected. THIS is what if was about, and THIS is what the Anderson decision ratfucked us into.

        E: ah, just saw the other person saying this.

          What does Trump gain by lying? Any of his lies can be traced back to him gaining something.

          Do you honestly think that the party of, “every accusation is a confession,” who spent 4 years screaming about election fraud didn’t commit election fraud?

          Are you trying to be a trump apologist and say he didn’t really mean what he was saying?
