Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Election Fraud 2: Electric Boogaloo (return of the liars)
I hate shitty sequels..
This just in: liars lie, pushing the lie with even more lying right before they start the big lie again like they did 4 years ago and continued to do over those 4 years; lying. I'm Larry Lyar and this is Larry's lair
It's so idiotic to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the electoral system when there is still a chance that he might win. If you convince people the vote is rigged, and then you win, won't that mean that you won by cheating? I know his supporters don't care, either because they lack the critical thinking skills to understand how this is illogical, or they don't care if Trump wins by cheating, but it's just so god damn frustrating.
He did the same thing in 2016, though, then won anyway, and still complained that we would have won the popular vote, too, if it weren't for all the "illegals" voting. All the man does is complain. Fucking snowflake.
If you convince people the vote is rigged, and then you win, won’t that mean that you won by cheating?
Nope. They'll claim that they won despite the cheating (against them) and that Trump had so much support from voters that he will have a mandate to do all the horrible things he has said he was going to do while campaigning. This is just part of the plan because we already know that Trump and company are planning on winning by cheating.
I hate that I think you're right.
Legal Eagle (and many others) did a great video on this.
In a nutshell? They did this last time. They make baseless accusations so that, later, they can reference those accusations as "evidence" of fraud.
Maybe they picked it up from Alex Jones. Certainly one of his favorite straps, and he sucks up heavily to both. He was praising Elon's jizz in the end of a bizarre knife ad he did recently.
The good news is that if Elon says a Republican will win today, we have at least 5-10 years until the next Republican President is in beta and will burst into flames after mistaking an elementary school crossing guard for a 2001 Buick LeSabre and driving into a wall.
Can we skip straight to throwing a steel ball at him on stage please?
I saw an interview with Rogan my buddy showed me of Elon saying if Trump doesn’t win, democracy will be dead as we know it. I know I don’t need to say anymore than that but the guy looked really strung out. I’ve never seen him look so jumpy
