dissident right infighting about Trump vs DeSantis - feels like I'm taking crazy pills

posted 1 year ago by TisDaRhythmOfDaNight 1 year ago by TisDaRhythmOfDaNight +53 / -4

prominent figures in the RW sphere are at each other's throats about their favorite candidate.

but why? isn't it exceedingly obvious now that voter fraud is way past the point of no return? what the fuck does it matter which of these is "more likely" to win when an arbitrary number of Democrat votes will materialize at 3AM? just gotta vote harder?

focusing on the candidates is 100% a distraction.

No. It's just an excuse. Most of the shenanigans in 2020 were legal rigging of the election, not the 'massive fraud' people whine about.

And there is no such thing as fraud beyond the point of no return, for two reasons:

If the regime thinks an election is worth stealing from a given candidate, then it's worthwhile for you to go out and vote for that candidate. Here in Europe, they don't even bother stealing elections, because they know they'll be fine regardless.
Even in countries where there is open fraud, the regime often tries to drum up support for its candidate anyway. Fraud is risky, undermines their legitimacy creates bad PR, even in countries like Russia. They try to do as little of it as possible. So what should you do? Try to force them to commit as much fraud as possible.

(Oh, and I know that exactly 0 people here will be pleased by this comment, but I don't care.)

I don't know. I think you're underselling the appeal of this message.

As someone who trusts government and the establishment not at all, you make a compelling argument. They're going to cheat. They're going to steal. The important thing is to make sure they need to do so as blatently as possible, so the normies actually notice.

Agreed. I'd been feeling demoralized lately about the effectiveness of voting, but I like your message better than giving up. Voting might not get you the candidate you want, but it'll make more obvious the corruption of those working against you.

Very good.
