Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)

I for one think that Islamophobia is as serious an offense as sexual misconduct and that Gillibrand should be cancelled and resign, just like Al Franken.
The Democratic Party WILL rig the general election. Hell, they’ll probably work with Republicans to get their candidate in over Mamdani.
Who owns the machines? Is the software audited? Are there tabulation servers involved?
Wouldn't it have been easier to rig the primary?
Why not really? Nobody would have blinked at the results if he lost the primary. If he loses the general, especially to someone he beat in the primary, there will be a lot more attention. This is especially true with a candidate who's popularity seems to leap forward every time a poll is done.
And the hand-count auditing of machine results for mayoral primaries is usually overseen by just a handful of people. It’s way more achievable. Tampering with those machines is easy by comparison.
IMO if the conspiracy hinges on “hacking” voting technology, it almost certainly overestimates not only their internal complexity but their role in determining election results.
She's just saying the only part out loud because she doesn't have to worry about re-election until 2030.
She needs a primary challenger in 2030. Maybe Mamdani himself.
