Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Pretty sure they're just outing the shit they're going to try that they've figured out won't work again.

Idiots.

Even if true, it'd be an official act.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure if that's funny or incredibly sad. I think it's both. It's definitely confusing

... subject to adjudication by the totally impartial and unbiased SCOTUS.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago

Pro. Jection.

I like how they’re “not affiliated with Trump” and also exclusively targeting Biden, and additionally that a ton of former Trump staffers work at said group now

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

They are not legally affiliated with Trump. Ideologically and financially there is no distinction..

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago

Well, for them, organizing clean and fair elections is not acceptable, not giving fascists due advantages is electoral interference

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Stories like this make me somewhat hopeful. If the MAGA crowd were sure they were going to win, they wouldn't be laying the groundwork for bullshit like this again.

Not really, it's just part of the modern alt-moron* playbook. They put the narrative out there and win either way. If they win, they beat the narrative by putting the info out there and tHe PaTrIoTs prevented disaster. If they lose, they called it months ago.

Ales Jones has been using this exact MO for decades, and the modern republican party has been going down the pathway the last 8-10 years.

If they win it was legit. If not there's interference. Plan b isn't do nothing and hope for the best

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Honestly my expectation is election interference from everyone in & outside the US certainly including our two major parties and our foreign adversaries and allies. We do it to them, turnabout is fair play!

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 2 points 4 months ago

Not clicking through to hear a report about bullshit. What is wrong with everyone?
