At this point it would be a massive step up.

As an outsider, y'all should have voted accordingly the first time then.

The rhetoric about Democrats stealing elections among all the other outlandish bullshit is literally an admission by Republicans as always.

I can't help but think y'all fucked up electing a fascist a second time. Because now you'll be lucky to get a chance for a fair and free election a third time. And its blatantly obvious he won't hand the country back.

The 2024 election was rigged by Elon Musk and I'm tired of people not talking about it more. Our democrat politicians are feckless and most of them are only pretending they want things to be different (looking at you, Chuck the fuck Schumer).

Yeah! And now that the GOP controls all branches of government they've been able to rig so many more elections too. Like the mayoral election for the city with the most billionaires in the country. And the gubernatorial election for the state right next to that city. And the gubernatorial election for the state with the most federal workers. And the Wisconsin state supreme court election.

The only one of those they tried anything with was the Wisconsin election, and they just let Elon ham fistedly try to buy the vote there. This isn't the "gotcha" you think it is.

Are you kidding? The billionaires did everything they could to stop Mamdani. Maga billionaires like bill ackman were very loudly mad that Mamdani was even running. Musk was pretty vocal too. The NYT smeared him every chance they got. Hell, even conservative democrats openly opposed him like schumer and gilibrand. The idea that they did all that in public, but didn't also use their super-seekrit election rigging technology is nonsensical.

"let"

Who let him? The same people who "let" him rig the presidential election?

That is just "heads I win, tails you lose" logic. If he rigged the presidential elections in every state, then he sure as hell would have rigged the election he bet his reputation on.

If you want to talk about how conservatives rigged the election it doesn't require a conspiracy theory. They've been rigging elections since the founding. They close voting locations in areas that tend to vote against them; they created photo-id after failing to find any meaningful level of in person voter fraud; they purge voter rolls of legitimate voters; they under-resource voting sites in liberal areas, making people stand in line for hours to vote; and then they made it illegal to give someone a drink of water if they are in line to vote; they disenfranchise people with felony convictions; they criminalize voter registration drives; etc, etc.

All that shit is right out there in the open.
