Donald J. Trump got 312 electoral votes and approximately 77,303,568 popular votes (49.81%), while Kamala Harris received 226 electoral votes and approximately 75,019,230 popular votes (48.34%)
But sure lets bang on about how Americans are getting the economy they voted for π₯΄
That also doesn't count the lots of people that didn't vote because of disenfranchment or discrimination.
If you didn't vote then you voted for this.
Love those who ignore the flat out voter suppression that occurs across the country, but go off. Edit: redundant words
I had to wait in line for 4 hours to vote just to come home and realize I was going to have to survive a fascist hell hole for a minimum of 4 more years. Iβm not going to thumb my nose at people that had to leave, they donβt make it easy.
Assuming Russia just never used any of the data from their 3+ previous US election hacks. And none of this is true: https://thiswillhold.substack.com/p/ex-cia-whistleblower-the-nsa-audited
Great link, thanks for that. It's a good read. I was going to mention this aspect in my post above. I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole in case I would trigger the finger pointing and conspiracy theorist claims, but now we're here. This is incredible, and I have read other legitimate claims like this. I wish we could post sub-stack posts in a dedicated community somewhere on Lemmy, maybe its something I should think about.
The US election system is very anti-democratic. And yet it never seems to be a big political issue there. Until that changes, the 50% reasonable people there will be held hostage by the 50% morons.
And those numbers are false. Sibce he clearly cheated in three swing states. Probably fucking nore but we will never know.
It wasn't exactly brilliant, but they did back the progressive against the wall saying the elections were rigged against Maga laying a trap where progressives would have to defend the election system as fair. Then they cheated like the projecting little assholes they are.
