So on one hand: Harris won NY State by a 10% margin.
On the other hand: if vote machines were tampered with then it likely doesn't stop there.
Yeah, this isn’t really about that one specific district. It’s about all the other districts that were also likely tampered with.
Trump didn't even try to get elected. Total fuck it all pill during his running like he knew he was going to win, then he wins by a huge margin electorally and the popular vote. It was surreal.
If only there was a give movement of Democrat voters telling you loudly WE WON'T VOTE FOR HARRIS...
You guys usually love to blame us for Trump, even though we promised you he would win if you didn't give us an electable candidate, but hey if you now want to change stories again to follow whatever dem narrative is being spun today, then yeah her winning NY so bigly is obviously evidence of a stolen election...
Or she wasn't electable. No no no, it's everyone else's fault.
yup, they kicked out Hogg because of the threat to their lifelong tenures and disrupt their ability to put their thumbs on the scale for the most disappointing republican lite candidates the isreali money wants the dnc to run
This enraged me. Totally enraged me. I am surprised he's not running again just to shove it down their corrupt throats.
they only people that the dems are good at fighting are their popular names trying to promote change
Sometimes you have to just suck it up and act/vote to reduce harm. That's called reality. It's like taking chemo if you have a fatal cancer. Chemo SUCKS and you might die of cancer anyway, but if you don't go through it, you will certainly die.
No they dont, you don't get to tell others how to vote. I'm not sure what happened recently but democrats especially seem to forget this fact. A persons choice to vote or not vote for any reason is valid, and the sooner people realize this the sooner we can start to mend this broken country.
WTF are you telling me right now?
Who was an electable candidate in 2024?
Maybe if we had a primary, we might have found one, don't you think?
Sure.
But the Democrats decided not to hold a primary that late, and I don't recall any Democrats running a meaningful challenge to her candidacy...
So, let me ask again. Who was an electable candidate in 2024?
Pete B with Tim W probably would have done significantly better even with the gay handicap with the homophobes. Especially if he got more of a running start.
Not a perfect candidate, but I think a lot of people underestimate how many people truly dislike Harris. For legitimate reasons and otherwise. Running a black woman who a lot of people genuinely didn't connect with against Trump was goofy. It sucks that it's the way it is but this is America.
Pete and Tim didn't run, so they weren't candidates.
Try again?
really are some full kool aid dems or paid posters here, you would think biden failing every campaign promise, and protecting trump from prosecution would cause him a little more scorn. Trump was a known quantity, Joe was who was elected to deal with that and he absolutely dropped the ball about as hard as any other person in that office could have. Like i cant think of a way he could have sabotaged his party even if he wanted to intentionally do it rather than as an abject failure of a man
Felon practically admitted this last week.
The guy said the Democrats would control the House and even gave numbers for the Republicans in the Senate. What more do people need?
