As bullshit as I find the concept, I accept it. Like Johnny, my contention was with the "more people think you are wrong than right" bit, with more people thinking immortal was right even though Trump won last time if you catch my drift.
Ah yes, they didn't talk nicely enough in the exact way you like. Therefore they are bad.
Also, who believes Smollet?
Two incompetent factions fighting over a useless piece of real estate that's subject to outside interferance and lots of conspiracy.
Sounds about right.
Gonna be honest, I genuinely think Biden’s lead and the volume of early in person voting combined with the meager preparation in battleground states probably adds up to an otherwise uneventful Biden landslide, but given I called the worst case version of this on Super Tuesday I’m still more right than the Johnny come latelies to apocalyptic predictions if the worst happens and Trump pulls a judicial coup.
It does feel like some social media sites are trying to algorithmically undermine any kind of viral panic over the election. It’s one of the reasons I’m leaning toward Biden just winning outright, they finally learned something approaching a lesson.hmmmm
I’d point out that the Biden is about as close to those guys as Trump is, yet he gets called evil communist pedophile all the time
I hope they lose Florida anyway. Fuck the Florida Dems. Literally one of the most cancerous elements of modern American politics.
"You see, everything's a Democrat / Big Tech conspiracy. If Donald Trump hasn't won, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. If Donald Trump claims he's won or doesn't claim he's won, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. If you can find exactly what you want on an internet search as literally the very first result, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. If your cat vomits, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!"

Really, this election is going to be about as valid as any of the last dozen - the usual shit about voter rolls and purges, gerrymandering, a few problems like hanging chads, but basically virtually no real, dedicated fraud.
And yet despite election after election showing virtually no fraud, more and more Americans are convinced of fraud. They're so convinced of fraud that the only reason no-one can find any is because THEY don't want you to find out, where THEY is whoever is on their shitlist, because when there's no evidence anyone's doing it, you're free to accuse anyone. Why do so many people believe fraud? Because they keep being told there is fraud by people who can't identify fraud or provide evidence of fraud. And we all know the more people say something with enough conviction, the more people believe it anyway.
Left unchecked, eventually the people will destroy their own democracy because they don't trust it anymore, and on that point, as the winning side hoists their dictator into power, they will cheer that finally the non-existent corruption has been destroyed.
If there is anything I would like to urge Americans, it's the next time someone suggests to you mass fraud, look that person in the eyes and say "I'll believe it when you prove it". Have some more faith in your country, its institutions, and your countrymen. Don't feed the trolls, give the crazies oxygen, share their posts and repeat their unfounded fears. Otherwise not this year, maybe not 2024 or 2028, but eventually, you and your countrymen will be trying to burn each other and the country down.

Texas and Florida going blue seems unlikely to me with their governments likely to fuck that over, but I do think AZ and NC will go blue, creating a similar result.Post your prediction or just your fantasy.

edit: also don’t know about Minnesota going red. Iowa sure, though I have faith in corn prices.
Edit2: well now I just look stupid for taking you seriously.
