    I’m not thinking any of this is signs of fraud or manipulation, but they’ve been counting ballots for at least 3 days and only 65% done. That’s kind of pathetic if you ask me. Don’t they have ballot scanners? Every election IMO should have ballots run though scanners (twice) and then random samples hand-counted to verify accuracy of the scanners. If it’s all done by hand you’re just as likely to introduce error as people become fatigued or zone out during processing.

      Just because you’re to the left of the candidates (if you really are, I feel like a lot of larpers also make these kinds of comments) does not mean the election does not have consequences. There are significant differences between fascists, liberals, and progressives.

          Genocide lite is obviously preferable to genocide. Not that the state has much power over foreign affairs anyway.

          You can see the consequences of your failure to acknowledge this in Lebanon and Iran, if you care to look.

          Perfect is the enemy of progress and all that. “BlueMAGA” as you put it has members within that clearly support your views, whereas actual MAGA does not.

          If you guys keep spamming genocide eventually we’ll start believing both sides are the same.

          Just keep doing it. You’re almost there.
