If all these people voted for someone else, Trump would not be our president. WAIT!
Some people who voted for Trump have repented and joined the movement for democracy in America.
But also, there are serious doubts about the integrity of the 2024 elections and a nontrivial possibility that Trump didn't win the election.
Yep. Important to not assume the election was fraudulent. But there is a case filed to interrogate some anomalous results in at least some districts. It's definitely possible that foul play was involved.
Some reasons to suspect foul play:

If it turns out to be fraudulent, I expect he will immediately step down, and everybody ruling, EO, and anything in-between that his administration has made will be immediately made null and void, and the person who actually won will assume office...oh, and then he gets to visit the inside of a prison where he belongs.
😂 good one. We're all fucked because republicans are allowing this fascistic charade to continue to happen.
The fucking traitors know exactly what's happening, and they hate America enough to actively ignore it.
They won't do their jobs until forced to.
A guy can dream
I said essentially this last night and was down voted to hell lol apparently I needed the sarcasm.
I wasn't being sarcastic, I was being hopeful.
That was sarcasm?
It's Trump. You know, the adjudicated serial rapist (Inmate #P01135809).
There was foul play.
There was objectively foul play, the real question is if it was enough to turn the election.
Y’all need to let this fantasy go. He won. It fucking sucks but he did.
I'm not so sure, but sadly our constitution doesn't have a mechanism to rewind anyway. All we could do is impeach and remove him, and then just keep impeaching and removing successors until we get someone sane.
Personally, I'm for a constitutional amendment to fix this, but it'll never happen.
Ok then show the homework. All I ever see is “the swings were too big.” Trump is a piece of shit unfit for the presidency but he won at the ballot box so here we are
I'm waiting for the results of the lawsuits. I said "I'm not so sure," but that doesn't mean I think the election was stolen, either. It means I'm not certain either way.
But it doesn't really matter either way. Say ironclad evidence comes out that he stole the election; we have no means to walk it back.
Man name your bet - the lawsuits won’t get anywhere and nothing of the remotest interest will come from this. It’s a desperate Hail Mary. There is nothing indicating a fraudulent election. Let’s not be as pathetic as the MAGA crowd with this shit
"Winning by cheating" is NOT equal to "winning".
Yeah no shit lol but what evidence is there of cheating? Yall sound like MAGA. Still not a single claim or link, just “he didn’t win.”

Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled last month that the allegations from SMART Legislation, the action arm of nonpartisan watchdog SMART Elections, were substantial enough to advance to discovery.
“There is clear evidence that the Senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely,” SMART Legislation founder and executive director Lulu Friesdat said in a statement published by the Associated Press.

So a single judge yesterday decided it warrants further investigation. Is that what this says?
The statement by the head of the group putting forth the lawsuit is definitely not what’s important here
I just want to be very clear about what we are saying here because what I’ve seen so far is “Trump cheated and stole the election.“
Doubtful. It’s a lot for a protest but not for an election.
What percentage of these people do you think voted for Trump in the first place?
What does it matter what I think?
I mean, "matter"? I guess it doesn't.
But you were saying things would have been different if they hadn't all voted for Trump. I was just pointing out that they probably didn't for the most part.
Yeah, but genocide and feelings and all that
