Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.

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.

Cool. Now let's also say what we're all thinking: Trump should be in there with him. Preferably in the same cell so that it's awkward af.
Hah. It wouldn't be awkward cos they'd be fucking! Haha.
If you think trump is not gonna stop giving that sloppy toppy to netanyahu irl then you have a more favourable view of politics then I do
C'mon, this is elementary stuff. You don't want to give them the opportunity to coordinate their lies.
Nah, there's a balance to Mamdani, too extreme and Trump will send Meal Team 6in after him and make some public example of him.
Mamdani is biding his time and building a base at the hopes of a newer, better, less-bought Democrat party by the next election. He can't do that from a blacksite in chains.
if we ever have another fair election,... if anyone considers what we had as fair.
Moderation is called "balance" when you like a candidate.
After seeing the Russian Tails in the numbers for 2016, 2020, and 2024 favoring Trump. It's for sure feels like we haven't seen a fair election in over a decade and I currently question our elections and think they are illegitimate. And that's not even going into the known cheating that happened in Ohio that helped Bush get into office(or the Florida shenanigans from the same election for that matter).
So yeah, I think Trump cheated with Russia's(and/or Israel's) and Elon's help and is an illegitimate President. Though to be fair he was illegitimate after trying to spawn an insurrection, and should have been hanged for High Treason already.
We havent had a fair election in my entire life. Bush straight up stole the election from Gore, and even if theres none of that extreme blatant stealing, everything is rigged so hard in favor of republicans, from voting booth locations, to gerrymandering, to right wing thugs being intimidating, etc etc.
Imagine a world where Al Gore won in 2000, and Bernie Sanders in 2016. Sigh...
Can't change the past though. Might as well wish Jimmy Carter beat Reagan in '81, and JFK and LBJ both served two full terms...
It's crazy to think how different the world could be if a few evil republicans didn't ratfuck everything.
Nixon, Reagan, Bush2, and tRump. The sheer amount of the world's woes that can be laid squarely at the feet of just four people is astounding...
It's not like they didn't have help. But if it weren't for those four presidencies, so much shit never would have happened...
Valid as fuck set of points. You're not wrong.
Yeah, except he's apparently alive and the 2008 and 2020 elections weren't included in his list.
You're going to need to elaborate, you've lost me with what exactly you're trying to get at with being so vague. Traditionally you use the subject's name, before switching to pronouns so the reader knows who the fuck you're talking about.
This is not hard to follow. You responded to someone, your comment appears below theirs. I responded to you, my comment appears below yours. Notice how this trend continues.
How is he "right" in saying there has "never" been a fair election in his lifetime but he's not including two of them? Has he died and come to life repeatedly?
Just because Dems win, doesn't make them fair. Gerrymanding is a very unfair tactic, and Republicans have been disenfranchising voters since before I could vote. And if they cheated, in 2004, why the fuck would they not continue to cheat in every election afterwards? It's a valid logic path to follow, and to assume that every election is likely unfair and has only gotten more unfair since then.
2020 was won by Biden, but in no way was the election fair. Trump did everything in his power to interfere, and would have won if not for covid basically enforcing nationwide mail in ballots, which turns out to be pretty hard to cheat. Though we did find millions of ballots in ditches, and various other places that never got counted (Edit: In 2024). So yeah... Maybe you're just ignorant of all the data points?
Russia's disinformation attempts isn't voter fraud and we're really shooting ourselves in the foot by replicating their "stop the steal" nonsense.
Yeah not the only thing I was referencing, but I do find it funny that you can't accuse a known fraudster, cheat, as well as someone who projects the shit he does on to others, doing it yet again. All because he said it first lol.
Like imagine how dumb, and naive you have to be to just go "OH! They accused everybody of cheating, and that's bad! So if I do it back I'm bad too! So I can't do that!" Even when there is evidence, and very valid character reasons to believe that cheating happened lol. Like just shutting your brain off, and stopping critical thinking all together over such a simple manipulation tactic.
Which on that note, here are couple sites that have that data, and keep track of that stuff. https://smartelections.us/ https://electiontruthalliance.org/
And if you believe Donald Trump won all swing states fairly(astronomical odds of that happening in any election, btw) then I have the deed to The Golden Gate Bridge, and I would love to sell it to you, DM me and we can start negotiating.
