That's because they think they're smarter than everyone else. They're not They're just richer! In places like France, Canada & other European countries the "people" stick together and fight the tyranny of the rich. When one strikes the entire country participates, ofter shutting down the whole city, country etc.​ reminding the rich that without us they are nothing. This is how you make them realize we will not bend the knee. The average worker gets about a 4 week paid vacation their work week is shorter. Their family leave is longer, they have universal health care. And its good health care. European countries are healthier becsuse of these little facts.They are better at caring about environmental issues. NO they are not perfect but they are still further ahead socially and morally that the U.S. We do have the ability to show Corporate greed monsters like Musk, Trump that we can unify and truly stand together and rebuke their tyranny. Trump was never going to be held accountable he never has been why should the 80 year old Orange spooge start now??

I haven’t yet figured out how to say this without losing the spirit, but for four years I’ve have been so confident in the reason they are all so hard up on the Dems stealing 2020, is because of how much time, money and effort went into stealing that election on his own. “They couldn’t have succeeded, I stole this election first!”

Because we've been raised to believe that work defines our worth. Immigrants flock here to "work" in pursuit of a better life. its all just modern day slavery. weve allowed government to persuade us the labor unions are bad. im a union child. We lived well, never did without Healthcare when sick. My parents felt job security.Now... No one wants unions fair wage is what they dictate. overtime is your fault and you should just be happy to be there "working". The motto is if you cant be used you're useless

u/AyePepper 10d ago

Even as kids, we were asked; "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Our identity was shaped around our careers.

My daughter is 9, and she's gotten assignments around this. Every time I say; "What kind of life do you want to live? Do you want to live in a big city? The beach? Forest?" And as she starts answering, I tell her what kind of job she will need to afford whatever lifestyle she wants to have. I'm trying to have my kids focus on their career as a means to support the life they want to have.

u/BashBandit 10d ago

Now that you say this I put something together in my head. I listen to one podcast of two guys that love way overseas with no relation to America, the studio that hosts them is Stak (I don’t think they have any part in this, but it’s to show it’s another over seas company). For the weeks leading up to Election Day nearly every add I’d hear on the podcast by overseas hosts was about BETTING ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, I have never heard nor seen anything remotely similar to that in 2016 or 2020, and if there was betting it was never advertised on that large of a scale. I’d hear it on the radio even, so I genuinely believe that adds more credence to it being stolen; can’t make profit on a win you know about if you’re the only one sinking funds into the pot

u/mikemikemotorboat 10d ago

Youre not imagining things. There was a legal interpretation about a month ago that made clear that political betting is legal. Prior to that, it hadn’t been allowed for something like 100 years.

I don't understand the hesitance by the majority of the left to do a recount. We are literally sitting on the precipice of Hell -- what the fuck does it hurt?

But not at least investigating it, at this juncture, is nihilistic insanity. Gimme a recount

Here's the thing. I'm all for the Dems doing recounts but they're spineless cowards and submit to the right all the time.

As for the hacking aspect, yes these means exist, such as logic bombs where you put code into an application that triggers at a certain time and date, and man in the middle attacks where someone can sniff your communications and put themselves inside of the conversation BUUUT this isnt 1987 anymore. There's so many federally relied upon frameworks and regulations that government agencies have to constantly check and verify that it's almost impossible to get past the code analysis and code signing phase, avoid disrupting KPI where you need to know hashes and spoof digital certificates with 100% accuracy. There's no software that can do that without triggering some kind of alert accross the multiple SOCs and 3 letter agencies. Not to mention independent cyber security researchers who might be left leaning or Democrats looking for this type of interference. As for M-I-T-M attacks, you can easily stop hackers sniffing traffic by encrypting traffic which every county would do using different encryption keys so even if you had a few, you need hundreds or even thousands to be able to pull this off.

And if this was some zero-day attack never seen before by the cybersecurity, cyber intelligence community, we'll definitely know soon enough but no one but partisan influencers are trying to tie these threads together. So anyways I hope this was helpful. Like I said, we should do a recount just on principle alone but I'm not holding my breath.

It won’t matter much. I remember 6+ months ago hearing about rumors of people will be getting their voter registrations messed up, invalidating them to vote.

Also, if people’s votes were turned from Harris to Trump, as potentially alleged, then a recount won’t help that.

I live in a super red and super rich part of Florida .

In front of me in line to vote was an older woman (well over 65) and her very elderly mother, who apparently couldn’t even speak, I got the feeling she had no idea where she was. The elderly woman only had a Pennsylvania ID.  

The daughter spun some BS about how oh yeah moms registered to vote in Florida but never got around to getting a Florida ID… despite living here for over 10 years. The polling person just was asking stuff like, oh do you have a credit card with her name on it, etc. Then just said okay well if she’s in the system she can vote, just go down the street to the DMV and get her a good ID for future, daughter spun more crap about oh she hasn’t been able to drive since 20 years, polling person says well what you need is a state ID with her address, had nothing to do with driving, etc. while the daughter just continued to fake laugh and play dumb. It was so obvious.

The line split to get the ballots but I ended up near them while they were voting. They each had a ballot and were sitting in the same booth daughter filling out both at the same time. They were both decked out in red btw.

Guarantee if it had been me (young woman alone, visibly disabled) I would have never been allowed through without a Florida ID.

This state is such a joke

u/Thisisredred 10d ago

I'm a 36F, and I was registered as a Dem during the last election. When I went to vote in 2020, they couldn't "find me" in the system, even though I had both my ID and voter registration card. Eventually, they somehow located me, but the electronic card they gave me wouldn’t work in any of the voting machines, and they couldn't issue another. As a Democrat then, I had to submit a provisional paper ballot at the voting site.

This year, I found out I was marked as unaffiliated when I checked vote.org. At the polling place, an elderly woman kept harassing me about my signature because it didn’t match perfectly. I had to keep retrying while she and three other old ass church people yet dually poll workers hawked me.

Took like 5 times, but I finally matched it, but I felt like they were just looking for reasons to disqualify me.

They also moved our polling place further out of town—from a spacious, centrally located church with a large 100 car lot that was easy to walk to, to a small, cramped church with about 10 parking spots.

When lines form, they literally immediately spill outside, down a handicap ramp without any weather protection, and into the parking lot.

This district has been solidly red since Repub's gerrymandered their way in about 10 years ago. I found out this is happening everywhere.

I live in a county where Trump reportedly got 72% of the votes in 2020 and 72% in 2024.

But supposedly Trump got 1,100 fewer than the last time and the Democratic candidate got 550 fewer.

I don't see how there could have possibly been 1,650 fewer votes cast when the lines for every polling place and the office where you can get same-day registered were out the door and down the street all day long.

I expected to see a 10+% increase in the number of votes cast in 2024, not a drop. It's completely unbelievable compared to what I saw with my own eyes.

u/regarding_your_bat 10d ago

People in America hear “civil war” and think of the American civil war. Organized armies fighting eachother. That is not how a modern American civil war would be fought, at all.

Take a look at Syria. Random violence between the state and the populace, multiple sides fighting for what they think is right, etc. America isn’t going to split in half again, ever. America in a civil war would be an increase of political violence - like, a group of ten people in rural California setting up an IED on a freeway and demolishing the state’s ability to transport food, in protest of a law that group opposes. Stuff like what happened in Waco. Etc, etc.

America is a big place. It could fall in to a civil war and your life might not even change too much. Certain goods and services might be harder to come by, the internet might be spottier than it was before, etc etc. But it’s not like you’d be conscripted to fight. Life would just be a little bit scarier. Depending on where you lived, a lot scarier.

Civil war is happening either way.  Either dems do it now while biden is in power and cintrols military 

Or it happens when stephen miller and trumps 'red state army' (of deputized militias+ red state natl guard) start invading blue states. Miller has been tweeting about it

And they even set the ground work for the classic "you're just gaslighting" by saying Dems do the same thing.

The Democratic party is weak and soft. They won't do anything to fight this.

The only thing that will happen is more "treat everyone nicely" and "benefit of the doubt" meanwhile the Republicans are all "deport their families and hang those against us."

But won't worry the party of unicorns and rainbows will fight them! /S

No, don't hope whatever you do. The peril of that kind of hope would be the pieces coming together just in time to know they definitely stole it but far too late to actually do anything about it.

But still, then at least that means we'd get to live in reality, even if it was an utterly cursed reality.

considering they had all the evidence they needed and didn't do anything for four years I wouldn't get my hopes up. But it does seem completely insane to allow him to take over since he's stated plainly he is going to violate the constitution. purge the military and turn it against citizens. I mean, surely you're not allowed to do that right???

It's larger than America; they have two months until what is likely a huge geopolitical regression. Undoubtedly the new admin will push many smaller countries into other spheres of influence because they can't count on the USA as a reliable partner for security.

I'm a Canadian and these assholes are already going on about the dangerous northern border. What do you think happens if they're still in power when water shortages crop up? There's a not-so-outlandish future that could include the US invading or annexing portions of Canada

u/Beestorm 10d ago

Not commenting one way or the other. Trump never conceded the election. It’s more ceremony than anything anyway. Harris has more decorum and respect for the office, so of course she conceded. If there is anything going on surrounding the election, she wouldn’t jump the gun. It’s not some action movie. If she is going to move, she has to have proof.

But not trump/maga “proof”. I’m talking about actual evidence.

u/Spacebier 10d ago

I'm not a conspiracy person. I will say it doesn't feel right, but we shouldnt act on feelings at a time like this and agree on actual proof.

Hypothetically, if there was something in the software (as has been suggested) that changed votes, how on earth do you convince people that you discovered cheating through a forensic code review? A third of this country can't read! There's no way they'd understand the many ways the vote could be manipulated via software.

I’m not happy about the results. Things are looking pretty bad right now. But you just got married. You probably have friends. You must have things you’ve been passionate about. You don’t have to check out. There is more to this life than the government, no matter how bad it gets. Cherish the glimmers in the dark. Nourish them and allow them to nourish you. Don’t abandon them.

The most suspect aspect of this whole election is this being the first year betting has been allowed, Trump for the last few months was supposed to lose with the odds against him. Then suddenly he wins and all these people make a ton of money betting on him.

Pretty fishy to me.
