Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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!

Of course he is. He knows he's going to lose and he wants to get the conspiracy theories going as soon as possible to look more credible.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Even if he thought he was going to win by a landslide he'd still be doing this. The goal is to sow doubt in the elections. Only HE is the source of TRUTH, everything else must be a lie.

Spending the last days in a dump truck, on a whim. I hope it's a sign of desperation.

Dump Trump 💩

Watch out for the red mirage trick.

Its cover for officials who will refuse to certify results.

They’re eating the ballots

...of the people who... 👌 live there. 🫲🫱

My biggest concern is while we all are focused on blue wall, Nazis might try and cheat to break away one of the important blue states. Examples: SCOTUS allowed voter purge in VA 6 days before election (yesterday). Ballot boxes are being set on fire in OR and WA. These are their ways to compensate for inevitable loss in blue wall states.

Be vigilant, turn up and vote.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah there is no "well I'm in a blue state so I'm gonna vote 3rd party to voice my displeasure with Democrats" this time. It's all hands on deck.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Did I mention I was sick of his bullshit?

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Juat add "As expected" in front of that and every headline from here forward. Nothing is a surprise anymore. There is no bottom for this miserable shitheel.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

He's getting his ass beat in PA and he knows it.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Quite a lot of the misinformation out of PA stems from a willful ignorance of how all this stuff works.

For example... the voter registration drives turning in invalid registrations:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/voter-registration-probes-launched-crucial-keystone-state-counties-amid-claims-potential-fraud

"District attorneys and election officials in both Lancaster County and York County are looking into potential election-related fraud after authorities received large batches of voter registration materials from a "third-party organization." Both York and Lancaster counties have more registered Republican voters than Democrats, according to state data, with York Republicans holding a 63% majority in the area and Lancaster Republicans at a 61% majority."

When you do a voter registration drive, you are legally obligated to submit all registrations, valid or not. The only entity with the legal authority to reject registrations as valid is the State Secretary of State office.

This is because, back in the day, parties would do registration drives and just shit-can any registration for opposing parties.

Now, even if some dumbass fills out a registration for "Mickey Mouse" or "Superman", it STILL has to be submitted to the Secretary of State for rejection.

That's not "voter fraud".

Republicans are just setting the groundwork for their terrorism by having their minority faction believe these lies. If Republican policies appealed to the majority of the population, the party wouldn’t need to cheat or lie.
