It seems pretty evident that the election was outright stolen, and I have a hard time believing nobody in power suspected something that many of us immediately called, not with the mountains of evidence that’s been stacking up for months, years even. So why didn’t they do anything? Why did they wait until Trump was sworn in to even talk about it?

No, dems just did a piss-poor job of motivating people. I voted for her, but she wasn't offering much other than an alternative to him. Same as ever.

Repubs motivate their people with lies and slander, but it's still motivational for hate-mongers. Don't sound like they did when Biden won. It wasn't stolen. Dems failed us.

I agreed with you completely until last week when I read this

Yeah Democrats suck, Kamala was a shit candidate, etc. But the election was quite literally stolen. Over two million mail-in ballots trashed. If you are black, your ballot was nine times more likely to get trashed than a white person's.

It can be both. Pissweak corpodems don't inspire enough people for a landslide, and landslides are much harder to rig.

This is the most frustrating thing about this administration: They are showing that you CAN do things. Democrats sit on their asses for four years, and Trump did all this in less than a month. Democrats better get their steel toe fucking boots on and kick these conservatives fucks in the sick.

ANYTHING LESS AND I SAY FUCK YOU

I am fucking sick of trying to do the right thing and GETTING FUCKING NOTHING.

Sorry, got a little pissed there lol

Good cop, bad cop.

Divide and conquer.

This is literally the exact point.

Also, Fox News for like 20 years or more has had a “liberal“ segment, where they do equal stereotyping, strawman, caricatures, and general bashing of “conservatives“

Divide and conquer. Get people to focus on inconsequential or less important issues or manufactured crisis (Which are real)…

… Instead of allowing folks of different political stripes to unite around, for example, an end to billionaires and oligarchy.

For a great example of this, take a look at what Fred Hampton was able to achieve. That’s exactly why he was assassinated.
