Just a guess, but I think they know that he is your best friend's son. You are the real target.

Trump said, without any evidence, that he would have won the popular vote too if the millions of illegal immigrant votes had been removed. I would think he would welcome a thorough audit too, but no, he hates democracy as much as Bush did, maybe more.
Straight from the Goering/Goebbels playbook. Accuse your opponent of exactly what you're doing. The more shamelessly audacious, the better it works.
Can we just suspend Godwin's applicability for the next 4 years?

(I recognize this is a rhetorical question.) Godwin refers to the likelihood that Hitler will be mentioned, not to never mention historical parallels. Of course some wankers will shout Godwin when discussing systematic horrors resembling Nazi activities, but they're just that, wankers. The real complaint is when any term or historical event gets used inappropriately.
I for one would like to not newspeak out of existence parts of human history.
But hey! There are also lots of other populist strongmen to compare to too!

Right, sorry, I meant the corollary that when Hitler or Nazis are mentioned, the thread is over and lost. 'Cause that will mean the end of the politics forum.

I knew that "voting system reform" would mean "funding Green Party campaigns that mostly go nowhere and help Republicans get elected."
If they wanna run people in Seattle or San Francisco or DC, that's one thing, but... That would require recognizing that in most places in America, only a small minority of people are far enough left to vote Green.
SF isnt even green left but a combination of socialist and libertarian. Eitherway the Greens anti technology and progress vibe would never fly. Perhaps Marin where all the old white hippies have gone.
So the UK is going to trial "proportionate precautions" against a problem which all agree has little or even no impact at all on our democracy. The precautions however, will undoubtedly have a disproportionate impact on the turnout for opposition parties.
lol, your narrative has been debunked by the Michigan recount where it was showing massive widespread democrat voter fraud, to the tune of 5 fake votes for every 1 real vote.
Your narrative is destroyed, it is now proven your narrative is a lie used to hide massive widespread vote fraud.

Ohh, and I love the argument that because the politicians don't force investigations or prosecute voter fraud, that some how its not real.
Do you believe the same thing about the police when cops that kill innocents are not prosecuted by the system?
lol @ the selective reasoning

As is typical with lying liberals... they deny, deny, deny open facts.
The fact remains the Michigan recount was stopped because it was exposing massive democrat voter fraud, to the tune of 5 fake votes for each real vote.
Should should call it 'fake news', that is the new term used by lying liberals to deny the truth of their corruption and fraud.

Colour me disgusted.
I was just reading the wiki on Brave New World. This struck me as relevant though it may not strike anyone else the same way.
Quote:
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
They were both right.

One of the first books I was assigned in library school was one whose premise was that while we were all waiting for 1984 to come, Brave New World actually did. This is it, Amusing Ourselves to Death.

I have absolutely no doubt that similar factors applied in several other swing states, but overall I don't expect most of the media to cover this story because it would interfere with their narrative about how someone who will never run for office again sucks.

Gerrymandering is a kind of voter suppression - perhaps the most insidious kind, because it's not something that occurs at the polls, so it's not as immediately obvious. The Supreme Court, by declining to hear an appeal for a Pennsylvania case (the correct decision, since the matter was internal to Pennsylvania's state constitution), has very likely issued a major blow to it.

Dunlap, one of the only Democrats to serve on President Donald Trump’s now-defunct “Election Integrity Commission,” demanded to know why the same Republicans who have been obsessed with an imaginary epidemic of people illegally casting double ballots or noncitizen ballots are silent on the massive election fraud scandal taking place in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.
“Here’s my question: Where is the voter fraud crowd?” writes Dunlap. “You know, the folks who cry ‘crime’ when two people named John Smith vote in the same state? Their silence in the face of seemingly serious election fraud reveals their fundamental bad faith and hucksterism.”

Holy fucking fuckballs! The North Carolina Board of Elections ordered a full do-over in that 9th Congressional District race. The Republican might not even run again for health reasons, where "health" = bathed in and reeking of fraud.

Yeah those same health problems that caused him to, uh, forget some stuff in his testimony and discovery that he just remembered after the board produced evidence. Prayers up! (NCGOP chair literally asked people to pray for fraudster candidate, such a difficult day for him and his family, getting caught committing fraud and all)
