This is the difference. Both the right and the left have their cranks, but the ones on the left never get mainstream acceptance. While on the right, they make the crank president.

MODERATORS
Because the left is, for the most part, intellectually honest enough to be skeptical of broad claims that seem too good to be true. Even ones that ostensibly benefit them.
While the right just grabs hold with both hands at anything they read immediately and start plastering it all over social media.
One side has the most basic critical thinking skills, and one side is lacking in that.
Seems like intellectual honesty is a weakness...
I’ve been peaking back on Reddit to a few sub reddits, r/somethingiswrong2024 is the main one. There’s r/verify2024 and r/houstonwade as well that have some interesting ideas and points brought up about all this. They simply dismissed this snopes report, stating snopes had lost credibility over the past years but not sure how true that is. I don’t know if I was just getting a contact high from the copium over there, I have hope still, I want to believe there is something in the works but ultimately without concrete, indisputable, outright blatant cheating thoroughly documented, there’s not chance of overturning the election. Especially without stirring up the magats nest and causing civil unrest. So do we just stick it out for the next two years and hope we can freely vote and try to gain some sanity back into this country?
There isn't. The numbers don't add up correctly anymore. You can look yourself by checking any other race in a state with the highest number of votes and then the presidential race in that state. If the difference is less than Trump's margin of victory then there cannot be enough bullet ballots to have made a difference.
This is the case in the crucial state of Pennsylvania. There are about 70,000 less votes in the Senate race than the Presidential race. Trump's margin over Harris is about 100,000 votes. That means there's at least 30,000 votes in the margin of victory that voted for Senator and thus are not Bullet Ballots.
The math doesn't math. And the cyber security stuff was always highly suspect. They basically asserted the machines were online with no evidence that was the case and no credible theory for how they would be reprogrammed to be online.
two years? I'm afraid it's four
Four with Trump, but in two years we might be able to flip the house and senate and make sure Donald's last 2 years in office are miserable.
That’s what I’m sayin, hopefully in two years things are not better unfortunately, that’s what needs to happen to have the average American voter pay attention and they again vote out those in power. If this thing isn’t already fixed
So we upgraded from blaming minority voters to literally Trump's own 2020 election mouthpiece lmao.
Just saying, with that orange turd, every accusation is a confession
Thanks for this! The bullet ballot thing seemed odd but without any real access to information about actual counts I didn't know what to think of it.
Good to know it's more than likely nonsense and we just really suck as a nation and did let Trump win legitimately. :/
For non Americans: The bullet ballot is special voting process used in some rural areas, where they hang effigies of politicians up at a range, and issue a box of bullets to each voter. The voters then line up and fire their bullets at the politicians they hate the most. The politician with the fewest holes in them at the end of the day is declared the winner.
You forgot the best part. You get a full magazine for each gun you own. But the targets are set at 50 meters. So you can't just go buy a bunch of pistols. That's commy crap. Full rifles if you want to make sure your bullets count!
Also Bob gets his own shooting lane. He can bring his full armory if he wants but we aren't waiting in line for that shit. And you have to watch because sometimes he tries to sneak a grenade in there with "Both Sides" written on it.
When I saw comments about it initially, I was thinking about it a bit and thought all likelihood the people who thought it was fake were probably following the same line of reasoning as Trump supporters 2020. I don't think the left is immune to thinking more people think alike than they actually do. Its upsetting, I get it but lets not think without proper information that fraud has actually happened that it was rigged.
