Did that single voting machine cause Harris to lose all seven swing states?

Trump dies during a lib Jan 6th and a civil war breaks out is on someone's parlay somewhere out there as a 1:1,000,000 payout and they put $10,000 on it.

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not even on the actual shit.

The Dems should demand everyone who took part in musks vote buying should have their ballots tossed out. And put musk in jail.

They won’t do that.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

And put musk in jail.

Or just obama-drone him. SCOTUS said it's totally cool.

True hallmark of a failstate is when the ruling parties waste everyone's time and resources, investigating and litigating each other instead of improving people's lives

tbh its hardly unthinkable that the republicans would do mass voter fraud, like i haven't seen any proper evidence that they did but its not unbelievable

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Even if they did, the election was not remotely close. To suggest that such a relatively huge portion of the vote is fake (if you are thereby contesting the results) seems silly.

Yeah where they show up outside the capital with signs that say "shame" and go home

Funniest outcome tbh. reps doing mass voter fraud but it turns out it literally did not matter because of how hard the Dems ate shit

Oh there's a lot of fraud going on, it's just not the conspiratorial and crazy type. It's just having few voting places, long lines, doing it on a weekday with no provisions for people to leave work to vote, closing pools early, gerrymandering and so on. You know, the legal and boring kind.

I have lib friends who believe that stuff. It's hard to know what to say in response because like it's obviously not true but I guess it's how they're coping. Fortunately I'm not the only one in the group pushing back on it.

Kamala Harris is so not worth doing a conspiracy theory over.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Why didn't they rig the house and Senate races too? Who cares if its "to obvious" of they had 100% Republicans in congress, who's going to investigate them? Themselves?

The clear answer is that enough dems showed up to the polls to vote down ballot but not for kamala. They either left it blank or voted 3rd party.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

You're right, but the real answer is they didn't rig the senate races because the libs aren't emotionally invested in the senate races, so it's not as compelling as a story.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Yeah I’ve got a friend leaning into this shit, I think they were just so convinced Trump was going to lose they can’t process the results.

access to connectivity was improved

Ridiculous that these machines are connected to the internet at all. Or that there are machines involved in this process in the first place. USA is such a funny little country.

edit, nevermind, it isn't the voting machines directly connected to the net: https://xcancel.com/jennycohn1/status/1855679445212029200 gonna leave my smarmy comment as is though. electronic voting machines just for the sake of it has been a shit decision since they were first introduced and it's very strange to me that the process hasn't reverted to purely paper ballots at some point since then.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

it's very strange to me that the process hasn't reverted to purely paper ballots at some point since then.

It's not strange if you imagine a scenario in which they would want to manipulate something, but have so far chosen not to.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Mirroring behavior's become a lot more common lately, sometimes in a naked tit-for-tat fashion. I was ahead of the curve.

Regrettably, though, mere imitation will never succeed - As the dems fail by chasing right wing policy and discarded neocons, so too will the directionless adoption of belligerence for belligerence's sake. Shit, that's how I ended up here.

Voting doesn't need machines.

I could believe Elon tried this and just fucked it up so completely that Kamala got most of the affected votes.

[–] mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Okay, so here’s what I don’t get:

Democrats say half the country is racist and misogynist. Republicans say Democrats are trying to force “woke DEI” on them

Democrats then proceed to run a black or Indian woman who lost her first primary and didn’t even have one this time on a platform of “If you don’t vote for me you’re a nazi”

How the fuck did they think they would win a national election? Why would you choose a candidate you know half of people won’t vote for?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago (2 children)

First, I legit believe that Biden chose Harris as his VP as a pure accident. Biden had made a claim he was going to put a black woman on the Supreme Court, but when asked about his VP, he said something to the effect of "Yeah that too." Since there weren't exactly a lot of national level black women Democrats to choose from, he was basically stuck with Harris.

Then they were stuck with Harris running for President because of something about how campaign finance laws are worded. Or something about how advertising on TV and billboards work. Kamala's name was already registered on all the forms. I believe the deadline for even registering to run for president had passed them by as well.

I truly believe the Democrats didn't want to run her at all, but were stuck because Biden has a massive ego. By extension it's Obama's fault as well for manipulating the 2020 Democratic primaries to get Biden the nomination. Thanks Obama.

Say what you will, but I don't think Liz Warren would have fumbled the bag this hard.

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

Not at all. She's a competent speaker (not a good one, but WAY ahead of Holocaust Harris), and she actually has some progressive-ish policies that she actually believes in. Harris isn't even platitudes, her word salad is too confusing to be described as such.
