    Doesn’t need to be rigged if you’ve got enough voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering.

        I get your point, but I was referring to literally altering the tally of votes.

        Everything else is cheating and not a fair election, by the way I use “rigged” is restricted to counting (or not counting) votes.

          i think we might just disagree on semantics and agree in the actual concept.

      The rigging is happening right in front of us, and they made it legal.

        This source has 4 of the top 10 worst gerrymandered states as democratic. The 10 Worst Gerrymandered States in the Country https://share.google/XE96wys3SqmtrawJC

        This source clearly outlines how and why Republican gerrymandering is more significant than democrats. Extreme Maps | Brennan Center for Justice https://share.google/N9KLkX2LAVJQ3lFIb Try again with some sources next time.

        Try again, but next time bring receipts so you don’t look dumb.

        Guys he put four periods in his ellipsis, I think he must be REALLY impatient that we don’t believe him with no evidence other than his own personal bias against democrats. I can feel hope beside himself with disbelief he must be that someone else in the world hasn’t been infected with alt-facts. I thought everyone loved Kool-Aid? WTH?

            Yes, and all of this is because Lord Feltersnatch forced Texas to do it so California had to reciprocate. Don’t expect democrats to just sit there and get shit on by the traitorous republican’s! The Republican Party is nothing but a criminal organization now!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
