Same exception they used to hand GWB the 2000 election. Best court money can buy.

This just in: fascist asshole has a poor opinion on democracy.
In other news, every 60 seconds, a minute passes in America.
every 60 seconds, a minute passes
The last time a minute did not pass after 60 seconds was only in 2016 though, less than ten years ago
"get out and vote!"
GOP: "LOL yea... go ahead and 'vote'"
They would not be fighting against voting if it were not a threat.
it's at least been refreshing that i haven't seen the "vOtE 3rD pArTy" dickwads skulking around spewing their shit lately, but maybe that's because i was more thorough in my instance blocking rampage with this account
The fact that voting 3rd party is a waste of a vote is the most pathetic thing about our so called democracy
As a Canadian I would argue that having a third party might bring some semblance of order to America's very limited 2-party choice.
Yeah, but the definition of "having" would be the key there. If the party 'exists' as just a consistent 10-15% of the vote, it 1) might as well not exist, and 2) will inevitably lead to the consistent win for whichever of the other two parties is more ideologically opposite.
The problem is though if everyone stopped being a coward and voted for who they agree with instead of who they think would win a third party would easily become a 3rd of the vote.
The entire american population could 100% agree with a singular politician but not vote for them because "I dOn'T think tHeY CAn wIN."
Ranked choice voting solves that problem, but that's a blue state thing
They accomplished their goal, collected their Russian paychecks, and are waiting for instructions before dragging themselves back out of their holes.
Which is why anyone who voluntarily gives up the opportunity to vote is a fool, and anyone who encourages other people not to vote is malicious.
If voting truly had no impact, the GOP would not work so hard to prevent people from doing it.
Nor would they go out in droves for decades to participate in it and elect the lunatics they do.
Voting is real important.
Do it anyway.
Why does this prick always look so red in the face? Its like Satan or Peter Thiel is controlling him about about to burst through his flesh at any moment.
Could be a sign of alcoholism.
I hope he gets (or has) cirrhosis and liver cancer 🥰
He’s a genuinely and unrepentantly evil shitstain.
