    But the voters are too lazy to go out and vote, or hate having to go out and vote in an election where they will lose on some issues that ‘matter’ to them.

    That’s why they’re counting on Lord Feltersnatch to rig the whole election!

    They’re gonna be so upset when their gerrymanders, lawsuits, and registration purges don’t end up doing shit. I bet they will try to set something on fire.

      We did that in my country. 30plus years ruling coalition by means of in person cash payouts to the people on the streets, corruption up to the neck, cronyism, nepotism, gerrymandered voting zones, racial and religious divisions on a national policy level, selective prosecution of political opponents etc.

      It took the largest national embezzlement scandal ever, a c4 assasination of a model, and the architect of these policies joining the other side to finally get the public to finally sway the voters enough to say ‘im done’

      But the us voters are a fickle bunch. I doubt enough of them will do it.

      I wish I shared your optimism. The last 20 years have showed us if anything, leftist and centrists will not show up at the polls or split the vote on third parties. The reason conservatives can be so unpopular nationally but still be in office for decades at a time is because their base shows up when the polls are open. So until the left figures out how to actually vote nothing is going to change, despite the current administration literally running concentration camps and oppression any group that isn’t straight white men.

    Wait so was the 2024 election rigged? After being told for 4 years that the 2020 election was the most secure election ever and that there was no evidence whatsoever of election fraud, people are now saying that there was massive fraud in the 2024 election?
