at least in a banana republic, we'd get cheap bananas or something

ELECTIONS 2022.

"The Philadelphia agency that oversees elections said it will delay counting thousands of paper ballots after the polls close Tuesday night because of a lawsuit that accused it of being open to double counting." (NYT)

Since election night 2020, Democrats have acted exactly like a group of people who stole the election.

Change my mind.

NOTHING was done about the counting machines, so expect more of the same.

BOTH "parties" need to GO!

I'm really tired of seeing so many headlines with the subtitle "and why that's okay" lately.

It apparently must be a miracle how here in Florida that we are able to get this done the day of the election. I went and voted early...great process where you fill in your ballot by hand and then run it through the tally machine. We can even check to make sure it was counted! My mom did hers by absentee ballot and I was able to check on that as well.

Great essay, although it's sad that you're able to predict the upcoming electoral shenanigans so easily. It's like we're on the deck of the Titanic, watching the iceberg get steadily closer, and hearing the ship's captain saying that striking the iceberg will be good for the ship, but that if the ship does develop a sudden gash in the hull, it will have certainly been the work of iceberg-haters, who are an existential threat to the other passengers. Nothing makes sense about any of this, unless you accept that our elites are disproportionately psychopaths who enjoy causing as much human suffering as they can, while a significant percentage of the population is so blinded by ideology that they are willing to support the psychopaths' agenda as long as it pays lip sevice to their ideology.

I am really starting to understand on a visceral level how Adolph Hitler could be democratically elected.

"it’s a fine setup and a tricky one to play against."

Eventually, we're only going to have one play left. They're pushing us to play it. We have before, 246 years ago.

Shit Britches announced they were going to cheat last week. They don't give the slightest fuck about hiding it . . . just like in Brazil.

The election deniers are the ones that actually believe Joe Hiden got 81 million votes

Such a fine line between "election denial" and "gosh it will take a looooong time to count all these here mail in ballots"!

boy history changes...I came from a 3rd world country where there were plenty of stories of election fraud, and how they should bring the United Nations to "observe"the voting ... look who is a banana republic now!

Credibility of Federal elections ended the minute vote counting stopped in swing states which were about to determine a presidential election, followed by in your face ballot box stuffing. We don't know the full extent of the fraud, because no official effort was made to investigate, but the fact of systemic election fraud is perfectly evident to any reasonably astute person who is paying attention (that would be many millions of people, around the world).

How come Stacy Abrams isn't on the Georgia list of deniers?

Shameful that people allow their minds to be hijacked. I don't expect much from this Kabuki Theatre called an election.
