“Reasonable people”

When Repugs control all 3 branches

... abortion will be illegal at all levels

... mail-in voting will be made illegal, early voting will be severely limited, election day will never be a Fed holiday.

... ISL validated by the SCOTUS6, will allow states to ignore elections, ignore state supreme courts, ignore state cons utions, and install/"elect" whoever the legislature wants.

America is ed and un able

“Reasonable people”

The move is right before the election so that last minute changes can be made to favor the red team.

Ex. Mail in MUST write a date on the envelope that contains the ballot in Pennsylvania disqualifying mail sent in.
What the is this? “Forget the postmark, let’s just make as much minutiae as we can to disqualify blue votes because they ARE the majority of mail ins.”
And it happens PREFERENTIALLY in States that are tight. All red team sponsored.

Its pure and simple attempt to get rid of blue votes in close races, last second so that it’s harder to change and for the population to get to try AGAIN to vote and write a date on the envelope this time. It’s totally and thoroughly a disgrace to democracy and voting.

Boots you don’t care because voting has no consequences. Fd and Unfd ya know…

Isn't democracy determined by voting? Either way it turns out its democracy.

Yes, if everyone has the same vote. The electoral college stops that from happening. That's why the US isn't a representative democracy.

.. and if Congressional votes, like in the Senate, had equal weight, but Senators from risibly underpopulated states have the same voting weight as Senators from heavily populated states, like a 40 to 1 ratio

Another "pure democracy" aspect that is being removed by Confederate/red states is "ballot initiative"

the Cons ution, now weaponized and not preventing "bad faith" actors, was deeply flawed from conception.

I think the reasonable people in question get that while the election was 'legit', it did involve the media , to include social media, purposely stacking the deck for Dems in order to get rid of the big mean Orange man.

….and…

those same “reasonable” people scoffed and minimized the “few facebook ads” and “russian stolen emails”
and “russian adoption” trump tower meeting and all the trump team lies and denials and obstruction

that helped trump and russia steal an election…


but now you think the media was capable of ushering trump out

uh huh

This isn't a presidential election. Electoral college doesn't apply. And there wouldn't even be a "United States" without it.

LOL the electoral college that was created to give slave states representation for their slaves without giving those silly negros voting rights.

Disappointing scaremongering from Maher

Maybe people tuned out politics because both party options are bad. And if we are to agree that the average American tuned out Politics/Government - then what's the big deal? Sounds like it was already lost and people went on with their lives.

Sidenote: but kinda funny to hear the Progressive complain about the supposed new way of life. That's typically a Conservative rallying cry...

Where in your post were you limiting your statement to the midterms. You said “democracy is determined by voting.” We don’t have a democracy and you can’t limit your statement post hoc, unless you agree with me.

[vy65]

lmao

You’re not worth it.

Curious to hear the board conservatives explain why, in a democracy, North Dakota has the same representation as California in the senate.

Its a republic. California has way more representatives than North Dakota, but each state has two senators. They teach this in school, right?

You're trying to put us back to the 1850s.

He said democracy, not a republic. Those concepts don’t overlap 100% they teach this in school, right?

You are correct. The US is not a Democracy. It is a Cons utional Federal Republic. there wouldn't even be a USA if they hadn't organized it that way. States and local governments are closer to being pure democracies. Be careful what you guys ask for. Democratic majority rule is how abortion got banned in Texas.

We don't even have election results yet and libs are already falling back to the Murica bad muh democracy mantra. Are ya'll planning any of your little marches if Dems get s acked?

We're not going to try to overthrow the government like you did.

We're not going to try to kidnap your congressional leader twice like you did ours.

Why are you so angry and violent when you lose?

But they don’t lose.
They declare themselves winners BEFORE the election and then storm the government and blame election volunteers when the rest of the world declares they have lost.
