Oh look, election fraud. You were right.

If you don't believe any fraud or attempted fraud took place, okay. If you regard the various claims out there as insufficient proof, that's entirely fair (and I would agree--it isn't proven). However the claims of "it didn't exist because the courts said it didn't!" strike me as ridiculous--they're the very type of claims we make fun of tinpot dictators for using. If tampering did take place, then the perpetrators got away with it, that's all.




I don't know about Baler, but I genuinely dislike BOTH major parties as they presently exist. The reasons differ, but in the end I find them both distasteful. I haven't been able to vote for a serious presidential candidate who I've actually liked at any point in my lifetime and I'm mighty sick of either voting for the less bad choice or for some no-namer I've never heard of simply out of spite.

You'd prefer an anonymous source??

I would prefer no source and people just writing what they thought and using their own arguments rather than saying something is a thing and providing a link to some insignificant insect.

It’s nice to see BB getting back in the mix.

[Gravydoo II]

I'd like to see that, too. Thats how the world worked in 2010. First thing anyone would say "nuh uh did you read that on cnn?" and then its off topic about cnn vs fox news or whatever.

Who even really decides which two people you get to chose between?

This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature.

Speaking as a Republican, I don’t really think the both sides cheat argument holds up anymore. Not saying that both sides haven’t cheated in the past, but what the moronic extreme right has done this past election dwarfs anything the Democrat party has done by miles. It’s just not comparable anymore
