Twitter is just for nazis now, 2020 was NOT rigged but 2024 sure as fuck was

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 18 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

2020 was mostly definitely rigged, thats why trump kept saying it was rigged. he shut up real quick when he won the 24 eleciton. and dems are afraid to call it rigged themselves.

As per usual, all the Republicans have to do is accuse the Democrats of it first. Biden even refused to see the law enforced against the Republicans after they tried to end the Republic in all but name and fix elections, including a culmination where he tried to take Congress hostage and personally go down to the Capitol and force those lawmakers to sign away the Republic under an angry mob and his secret service detail.

And then paint that refusal to defend the Republic which is the reason for being of our leaders, as some Noble Act.

Allowing the captured justice department to remain so and fail in their statutory duties. These fucking Democrats are so fucking worthless the party needs all new staffing, from the top spots on down to the lowest spots in the party, they need to raze and burn the whole thing and build up with people that do not suck.

No air support on anything related to the former administration, all because the Republicans projected their own qualities onto Joe biden. How did we, the people that want reform and refuse to be ass fucked by the rich without our consent, turn into the party of weakness? I want to change that.

This strategy works for them every goddamn time. Accuse your opponent of what you're doing/about to do, muddy the waters, maybe even redefine a few words in the process...

Then when they do the thing, and their opponents try to point it out, nobody even believes it's true.

They were gaslit into accepting 2024 no matter what

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

More of a queeflit situation. And or quafflit.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 50 minutes ago

Dunno what that is

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 85 points 1 day ago (2 children)

2020 was rigged -- for Trump. That's why Trump was so convinced that he should have won.

There were enough protections in place to keep him from winning.

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

And despite Democrats controlling the executive branch there were allowed to not only get away with trying to steal the election but to gain access to the inner workings of all the voting machines and software, sent death threats to all voting officials in swing states without fucking consequence, literally a handful of prosecutions despite hundreds over the legal line as detailed by Reuters investigations, like what the fuck good does it do getting a democrat in there? A lot of people stuck their necks out to protect democracy and we're left as the military would say with their ass hanging in the breeze.

Under Fire by Republicans and not protected by democrats.

I don't mean to come off as a conservative cunt, but what evidence is there that 2024 was rigged?

As an outside observer all I saw was sexism and racism handing the election to trump, or I guess democrats being so high on their own supply that they thought the right time to run a PoC woman as candidate was at a 70 year high of fascism

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 15 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Beaides stolen ballot boxes and firebombed ones, some data scientists suggested the way the data came in numbers/volume by region or some anomolies, suggested tampering of some kind. Since democrats didn't raise a stink, I guess it no longer matters

Means motive and opportunity. They cheated. They cheat in every way they can. There's not enough time in the day to catalog all the where is.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 9 points 23 hours ago

Okay this is what I've gleened from a site posted often about it (something about free elections? Or has election in the url)I am not sure where I sit but given Trump's history, his many statements while campaigning it's not hard to believe there wasn't cheating but if it's this who knows.

There a number of voting areas that apparently had anomalies that haven't been seen to that level (ouch just read that as Trump but this line is apparently from people who look into this stuff) in previous elections. I forget the exact details but it's a link posted often online. Something to do with people voting for Trump but Democrats down ticket or just voting for Trump and leaving the less blank (forget exactly). These were only noticed on in person voting whereas the statistics of the mail in votes did not match this pattern. The other part being that it was one sided, there was no similar notice on Harris's votes. If I recall this pattern was similar for mail in between the two but not for in person voting. Also something called the Russian Tail in voting, after so many votes a certain amount went to Trump similar to Putin's votes. Again I haven't looked into this but that is some of what was noticed beyond the direct lawsuits as well.

As far as I know even if he cheated it doesn't matter at this point cause he was certified anyways. And if people aren't pissed off about what the US has become to change anything I don't think it makes a difference if Trump just came out and admitted it. I'd be curious just to know but I'm also still curious what happened to my motorbike toy from when I was 8 so it's not an exclusive list.

Idk about the elections, but as a Ukrainian I've seen the stark difference in about a half a year since he bought twitter.

He manually switched off visibility for NAFO. Like as if they became shadowbanned, invisible to the "for you" feed.

He made it so big Ukrainian accounts are mostly visible to Ukrainians only. This was enough not to make them leave the platform but silenced their voices to the outside world.

It's quite obvious we were just the testing grounds, USA elections were the real deal.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Allowing voting machines to connect to Starlink and that largely happening in the rural areas of swing states, coupled with the snarky “we have a plan” comments and jokes, should raise more concern that it has thus far.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago

There's no doubt that social media has been weaponized to affect people's opinion. That is not the same as "rigging an election".

Well, you have the basics like voter suppression in just about every way (e.g., gerrymandering, shutting down polling places, not enough voting machines, laws against helping people waiting in lines, preventing ex-cons from voting, etc.), actively intimidating voters at the polls, active misinformation (e.g., automated messages telling people the wrong dates for the election), etc.

Now, we know about one attempt to mess with the voting that was caught. They're looking to overturn those peoples' convictions.

I'm sure there is more that I'm leaving out. Now, that may not be what you were talking about, but that's rigged in my opinion. Also, the electoral college, the voting system (NPV or RCV would be better).

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world -1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

We lost because we didn't vote. End of story. All of this "fraud" non-sense is absolutely pathetic and just an excuse for the stubborn who didn't vote against Trump.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

There was no "vote against Trump". What you mean is "vote for Kamala Harris", but why don't you just say that? Maybe because you don't want to think about why Democrats wouldn't vote for her?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Not enough of us voted, certainly, but they have been slowly marginalizing and dividing us for decades. It's disingenuous to discount that as a major factor. While other countries have made voting day a holiday and bolstered the abilities and required voting, Republicans have worked against voters to create a specific outcome.

A walk is much harder when it's uphill and the wind is against you.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Gerrymandering doesn't effect the presidential election (except for maybe suppressing turnout of people who may feel like they don't matter). I've seen far too many people who think it does.

Trumpers filed 70 some lawsuits. I guess that alone means Trump actually won in 2020.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

We should just eliminate ballot boxes and handle everything with paper ballots. Mail them in, drop them off, or fill it out at the ballot box.
