They want to make sure they can overturn all his leads by giving themselves up to two weeks after the election. We can't accept this.

Not and still claim to be a democracy, at any rate. I though the US left us Brits to get rid of an aristocracy making all the important decisions, whatever the common citizen wanted?

Important point to make with "centrists" is that whether or not you like Trump, if this election gets stolen and all the Dem voting policies stay, there will be no more elections. This could be the last presidential election in which the country actually chooses the president.

With the ballot box, at least.

There's a few others available.

Agreed. If you end up with a Harris presidency she's pretty much going to have to impose change on your electoral vote system, at which point it's mostly down to how fast NYC and Chicago can print off ballot forms at the next election.

That's what the 2nd amendment is for, when elites decide they can ignore the will of the people.

Haha. 2 weeks. Remember 15 days to stop the spread? It'll be Trump winning on election day, and even after mail in is counted, he'll still win and they'll just pull shenanigans for the next 4 years saying "He's not really supposed to be President, you see judges ruled the wrong way on this issue with 1,580,293 votes in 14 states that would've made it a Biden victory! He's illegitimate!"

Pretty much every single medical fact we have points to it being totally safe to vote. Not like, mildly safe, but virtually no different from almost any other time. It's just more bullshit DNC bullshit. But if he wins massively on election night and says so, Twitter or FB or whoever will just go "No, we have to ban that, that's not true, we have to wait for the mail in votes to be counted because that could change things." Outside of 2000, every other election was called on election night, and I don't believe the left can fabricate enough mail-in-ballots for Biden and not get caught. The biggest trick the left has played on America is to trick it into seeing no Presidential candidate in god only knows how long is as popular as Trump. Instead, the Trump fans fear being cancelled or whatever bad shit happens the instant you say you're voting for him.

The push for mail in voting is literally just so they can keep adding ballots onto it for two weeks so Trump is guaranteed to lose. It will start with reports that a late shipment of ballots was “found” in the back of a van, and will end up with the headlines “The Far-Right and QAnon Are Denying the Election Results” and “Trump Questioning Newly Discovered Ballots Disenfranchises Minorities”

We could have actual documentation of the results being spread on the internet, and it would all be claimed to be a conspiracy theory and a disinformation campaign if the results say Trump. Google was already caught saying that they wouldn’t allow something like 2016 happen again, and Dorsey+Zuck know the writing might be on the walls for their shenanigans if Trump gets re-elected. If they demand a recount or find extra ballots there should be mass protests, but I feel it might get worse than that. It’s possible the election can make any cold civil war go hot, thanks to the media pushing out so much propaganda. People legitimately believe that Drumpf is an evil fascist dictator that will refuse to step down from office, and if he loses and even makes a joke by saying “it was my turn” the media will spin that to say he is blocking Biden from coming into office.

Who is "another candidate" WaPo? There are only two candidates that could realistically declare victory, yet they manage to name only one.

This whole idea is stupid, why on earth do they need to 'prepare' for this? Why does it matter to them? They can't even let people say what they want anymore, it has to go along with their narrative or else. It's insane.

the election is called the night of, or the early morning of the next. not weeks later.

You're about to see some crazy shit when Fox News calls the election, and every other mainstream media outlet doesn't.

Watch Bloomberg & CNN call no more than 25 states by midnight.

MSNBC will call entirely different states.

I'm willing to bet that MSNBC or the like will straight up call a state blue, while Fox News calls it red. Fox will make a projection based on the fact that the state's votes have been counted and are reporting in physically, meanwhile MSNBC will basically predict that the state will go blue because the remaining mail-in ballots will "obviously go to Biden".

But what happens if its a fucking landslide, if either candidate has more than 70% of the vote and 2/3 of the vote has been counted... surely thats victory right??

permalink save report block reply

– Gizortnik 3 points 5 years ago +3 / -0

I think the only person who got anywhere near 70% of the popular vote was George Washington.

That being said, I actually do think that a genuine landslide for Trump on election night is going to be so severe that even with cheating, they won't be able to flip enough states for it to matter.

The Dems think that massive turnout will favor them, it won't. They've all gotten it wrong. This time, it's the opposite. I'm predicting something like 8 million more white voters turning out than did in 2016. The first time that over 100 million white votes will be cast in American history. And the Dems won't get more than 35 million of those.

Dem losses are going to be severe. Rep gains are going to be severe. Switches from Dem to Rep will also be severe.

I mean, this will be one of the largest amounts of voter fraud we will have ever seen in raw numbers... but I don't know that they can add the 10-15 million fraudulent votes they are going to need to win the election, or disrupt the electoral college vote in December.

Election results aren't "officially" called until December or so. They news usually calls one based on incoming votes and one person concedes, but "officially" called? Nah.

They're saying that they're bracing for the possibility that President Trump or another candidate does the same thing candidates have done for hundreds of years.

The horror.

Just shows how they're prepping the people for some really fucked up election theft shit they're going to pull, making business as usual all the sudden seem like some kind of massive threat so that they can institute "safeguards" against it that just happen to favor their guy.

I actually think that this was originally part of Nancy's plan. Impeach the president before the election, then stall the vote in the Senate. Put everything into winning the Senate elections, then vote to remove the president from office once you control the Senate.

I really think that was the original plan... but the progressives fucked it all up by demanding to do it as early as possible. Now the dems have blown their fucking load.

They weren't getting anywhere with Russia-gate. ... but they could have with COVID. It's one of the few places where the media genuinely hurt him. Same thing with the BLM insurrection. If they can get him to do something they think is illegal, they'll rush an impeachment vote, then try to seize the Senate, and then the election results for President won't matter.

Didn't you have that in the first 2 years of trump though? Too many R incumbents are part of the political machine to let him get anything done that isn't a return to business as usual. (although that is obviously preferable to a dem win)
