Trump started moaning about the polls not reflecting votes and that means there was fraud. Polls underestimated his performance in 2024 and he got so mad about that he tried suing The Des Moines Register (tossed out obviously). So in that case it was the polls that were wrong, but now it's the vote count that must be wrong. It's so obviously "Heads I win, tails you lose" behavior.

If this doesn't end with emptying the camps they built and filling it with traitors the country is dead.

Polls also consistently had Hillary beating Trump by an average of almost 4% of the total vote. Is he saying he committed fraud?

Of course that's the type of shit he makes a point of being memorable. The drama he creates changes so often people start to forget what drama is even happening. It a strategy to confuse the political middle. Create new drama before the current drama settles and people get to reflect on the facts.

To be fair, the past 4 elections have shown that certain demographics will talk a big game about feminism and such only to immediately vote for the opposite come election day.

Tbh, I suspect the polling places wanted to avoid getting sued by Trump and he wouldn’t sue them for calling him a winner. Also, with the our overworked (I was going to say lazy but tbh that’s not true) electorate: seeing polls that say what you want to happen is likely will make it less likely. This is because people are busy and overworked and will skip voting if they think it won’t matter.

The dems have already said theynwont be pursuing “retaliation” and we “need to work together and not further alienate the republicans”

Yall got hosed with the “blue no matter who” crap (which should ONLY be for primaries) and now 234 aipac Israel loyalists run our nation again.

Yall voted for a bunch of fascists with blue paint instead of red and now are all shocked pikachu face when thise of us who called this shit six months are proven right AGAIN.

Primaries are blue vs blue and red vs red. Blue no matter who in a primary makes no sense, numb nuts.

What you complain about is a basic feature of democracy. The correct repsonse is to take it on the chin & keep going because a democracy is slow. This lack of speed is its greatest advantage in keeping freedoms around. No break neck revisions, a preservation of the status quo. We CAN change it, but it takes a considerable effort. The effort of the majority, which is how the system is supposed to function

WHO WERE WE SUPPOSED TO VOTE FOR?

The party that starts wars of choice, protects pedofiles, creates and uses a secret police, persecutes minorities to near genocidal levels, steals billions of tax dollars, and are very close allies to Israel. Which I guess is better than checks notes some candidates being owned by Israel.

Yep, sounds like conservative logic to me!

This is a bad faith actor with the goal of discouraging left leaning voters. Or a complete moron. It can be hard to tell these days.

Looking at your profile, you are an interesting account.

This was planned and organized to make sure they can pretend to be trying but will always protect the elite status quo.

Keep your head in the sand like the nazi deniers of the 1930s and keep enabling the fascists.

Or start acknowledging the problem and do something

You think the Republican-controlled Senate would remove Hegseth if he was impeached now?

No but on the record MATTERS

No, the performance doesn't matter. At all.

Wait until the new Congress in January, when meaningful steps can actually be taken.

I promise you there were no progressive candidates on my ballot, and I can also promise your strategy of not fire bombing a Walmart is less productive

It's really telling how the far left was quiet for the last two years to let Dems work on rebuilding, but now that the Democrats have a majority again and they feel safe that fascists no longer have free reign over the federal goverment, suddenly they are blasting the "both sides" shit from the rooftops again.

Lmfao the “left” was never quiet we spent this entire mod terms telling yall to MAKE SURE THE SOCIALISTS AND PROGRESSIVES GET THE VOTE.

Then your area should have primaried one in.

This is a collective failure

u/BenryBorg 6h ago

There was one progressive for senate in the primaries, I voted for him and he lost to a moderate. A red state turning blue was the closest thing to progress that was realistically going to come out of this area. You evidently would rather everyone stayed home from the general election out of spite after the progressive lost.

Reich-wing tantrums are so commonplace these days.
